About Me

Name: Hypatia Theon

Location: ALEXANDRIA, Greece

After a few hundred years in soulful communion with her beloved "One," Hypatia Theon found herself drawn once again into human form, this time after becoming a seasoned RPG campaigner, which you can read about at [http://pearllong.blogspot.com ] Hypatia Theon investigated the applications of role play to therapy at MDJunction, as you can see at [http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/fun-games/pearl-hunts-a-cute-hunter-game-forum-post-of-player-longzhenzhus-character-pearl-dragon]. Now the time seems ripe for a new endeavor, the application of the skills she's learned to coordinating volunteer experts and problems in economic development to make our world a better place.

Free Credit Reports

Starting June 1st, another large area of the USA (the South) was added to the states that can get a free credit report once every 12 months per the FACT Act. After September 1st, all of the states will be eligible.

To get your free credit report, visit:
AnnualCreditReport
You may request one from any (or all) of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian). You may chose to get all 3 and compare them for discrepancies, or you can get a free one every 4 months by selecting one agency at a time. This is a great way to keep an watch out for mistakes in credit reporting or identity theft.

Don't let anyone talk you into paying for a credit monitoring service unless you really want one! (And, if you do, be sure to research the best deal for you.)

Well, since I got ripped off very badly once by a <i>FREE</i> credit reporting agency... Guess I'll take pass this time.

What happened was quite a large charge for that "free" report turned up on my next monthly statement, then, since I live in Japan, there followed a least an hour of being shuffled from one "toll free number" (Only they're not from here!) to another going through seemingly endless menus with "Press one for... or Press two for..." with choices that all seemed not to apply to my particular case, holding for a customer rep., who would finally come on and say something like, "Didn't happen on my watch, so please call... another "toll free number" that's not toll free for me, sigh!

Never again, pretty, pretty, please!

No more "FREE" credit reports, thank you very much indeed.

Regards, Hypatia Theon
