An owner-financed loan is a new one to me. I was definitely a little creeped out by the whole thing. I know there's a bill stalled in the legislature that would give us more rights with regard to credit card practices; hopefully that will go somewhere again in the new year.

I wish I'd read it a year ago when we were buying a house. We do have good credit, but mostly because we pay things on time--and not because we've tried to influence our credit score. It's good to understand how banks figure it out. This is great information. I wish I’d read it a year ago when we were buying a house.

I know credit cards hurt small businesses and have been trying to pay CASH for groceries and other items (though I never seem to have enough. So I pay as much as I can in cash and then put the rest on my card). Also, we bought our house with an owner-financed loan, MUCH better for everyone involved than using the bank. I'd like to recommend to your readers that they look into that. I think it’s creepy that credit companies are constantly trolling our financial activity.
