Financial Literacy Month may be coming to a close. However, our mission is to inspire, motivate, and support others. I recommend getting familiar with laws that protect consumers and learning to use credit responsibly. These tools can help you build a strong financial foundation.
Additional information is available on Rise to Wellth.
Financial Literacy
Here are a few definitions. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) oversees financial products for consumers. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) ensures accurate credit reports, while the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) regulates credit repair companies.
Enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, the CROA prohibits false claims and upfront fees. Consumers have rights to contracts, cancellations, cost details, and legal action for breaches.
Regardless of where you are in life, Obstacles and/or titles do not define you. Self motivate, focus on your goals, implement plans and keep going.
