How to Turn Your Financial Situation Around in 5 Simple Steps

Rebuilding your credit score can feel like an intimidating process. Whether your past financial actions consist of late credit card payments or invalid claims on your credit report, you want to show credit issuers and lenders that you are trustworthy and will always pay on time.

If you’ve found yourself in a financial rut with your credit, here are 5 simple ways you can bounce back.

1. Assess your situation. The first step of achieving financial stability is to assess your situation. Start by pulling up your credit report. There are several websites where you can get an annual credit report for free. The most popular site is annualcreditreport.com. Your credit report will show you your personal information, credit accounts, public record information and additional inquiries concerning any businesses that have requested your credit report within the last 30 days. Assess the situation by reviewing the negative items. These include your credit score and the debt you owe.

2. Hire a professional to develop your dispute letters. The next step would be to create dispute letters for your negative items. A credit dispute letter is a document sent to credit bureaus that outline inaccuracies on your credit reports. The goal of a credit dispute letter is to request the removal of those negative items using factual evidence and supporting documents. While you can create these documents yourself, it’s best to hire credit attorneys because they have extensive knowledge and the correct language to get the lender’s attention. They will be able to pull your credit report, analyze your situation and create dispute letters for you. In the event the negative items listed on your credit report are valid, type up letters to send to the credit bureau. Never discuss debt or set up payment plans over the phone. These handlings should always be put into writing for proof.

3. Stay up-to-date with payments. Once you’ve set up payment arrangements with the credit bureau, it is important to pay your outstanding credit on time. Make sure you’re only using 30% (or lower) of your credit limits. Below 30% is a general guideline for most credit card users. If you’re worried about what portions of your credit card you are using, you can activate alerts with your credit card issuers or access regular reports of how much credit you are using from personal finance websites.

4. Re-establish positive credit. Re-establish positive credit by getting a secured credit card. This is best for first-time credit card holders or for people who are trying to rebuild their credit. Use your secured credit card for small bills that you know you can pay each month. Whether it is a Planet Fitness membership or a netflix account, this is an easy way to build your credit back up.

5. Add rental history to your credit card. If you’re a renter who wants to be a homeowner (but have poor credit), you can add your on-time rental payments to your credit report and backdate those for up to 2 years. Homeowners get credit for making ontime mortgage payments, and now renters can boost their scores too!

Financial coach Ebony Kellogg was no stranger to making poor financial choices. Like many Americans, she was burdened with credit card debt, medical bills and more.

Luckily, she found a network marketing company that specialized in credit repair. Through this company, she took on the role of both a client and an agent. She knew she would be able to benefit from the services and help others, too.

Within the first 45 days, she saw a 90-point increase in her credit score. This inspired her to start sharing this newfound knowledge as a financial coach- a path she never considered. For 3 years, she has been using her past experiences and training to empower others to become financially literate and secure.

If you need help with credit card repair and/or money management, contact Ebony Kellogg to get you back in good financial health. Also, if you’re interested in educating others on how to rebuild their credit, she is open to apprenticeships. You can connect with her on Linkedin and all social media @EbonyKellogg.

Adams Wealth Advisors chooses the File Fabric for remote working and Cloud transition using Object Storage

The File Fabric was chosen as it was designed to support remote working collaboration with object storage coupled with built-in security, governance and compliance features available as one turnkey service, hosted in the cloud.

Storage Made Easy® (SME), announced today that Adams Wealth Advisors has chosen the Storage Made Easy (SME) Enterprise File Fabric to transition employees to the Cloud in the current remote working environment.

Storage Made Easy And Adams Wealth

Adams Wealth Advisors is a registered investment advisory firm which over the previous three years has grown between 30% and 40% annually. The start of the pandemic early in 2020 forced most of the staff to work from home, creating problems for an infrastructure built to support employees working from the office. At the time, all storage was on-premises and it seemed like remote users were working at the dawn of the computer era rather than in the world of ‘work from anywhere in the era of cloud computing.

The appeal of the File Fabric was that it was designed to support remote work, security and governance, and collaboration all together in one turnkey service in the cloud.

Some key achievements:

  • Migrating the on-premises NAS data onto the cloud was supported by Storage Made Easy and was straightforward. The company used Rclone, an open-source data tiering application, which has built-in support for the File Fabric. Data was tiered to Amazon S3 over a weekend.
  • The File Fabric provides multiple methods for Adams Wealth users to access their Amazon S3 data including a web browser UI, mobile devices, and Cloud Drive (akin to the user’s previous home drive).
  • The File Fabric provides capabilities not easily available natively including features such as locking, versioning and trash. The trash capability has been especially useful on several occasions.
  • The File Fabric for Adams Wealth is deployed in the Cloud on IaaS – infrastructure as a service. The IaaS is a dedicated instance of the File Fabric configured specifically for Adams including their own domain and branding.
  • From a security and compliance perspective, the File Fabric has provided significant new capabilities. Key items include streamed encryption and an audit trail that captures all data access events, which can be used for compliance, to satisfy for example Subject Data Access Requests.
  • Document collaboration with clients and partners now occurs directly from the main server. There is no need to duplicate files to external consumer sync services. With controls such as link duration, a number of downloads, passwords and the audit trail collaboration is both more efficient as well as secure.

Jonathan Dursteler, Director of Technology at Adams Wealth said:  “the transition to the cloud has been pretty easy and our users have been using the system seamlessly.”  He adds, “we are pleased and happy with the File Fabric and have streamlined our processes while also improving our security and compliance.”

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC LAUNCHES FIRST OF ITS KIND CLIMATE CHANGE ADVISORY SERVICES

• New advisory services to provide “ambition to action” blueprint for businesses to reach climate and sustainability goals through unique strategic planning and implementation partnership

• Program helps organizations align technology and behavior towards carbon neutrality through holistic, science-based, best practice approach

• Companies are under increasing pressure from investors, legislators, analysts, employees, and consumers to reduce the risks associated with climate change

Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today introduced its Climate Change Advisory Service, an evolution of the firm’s existing consulting services designed to deliver a holistic solution to business’ sustainability challenges and climate action. The service is the first of its kind, balancing strategic vision and road mapping with the implementation of tangible actions and technology. The fully integrated approach spans energy management, resource efficiency, renewable energy procurement, carbon offsetting, value chain decarbonization, and AI-driven data collection and disclosure.

Despite the Paris climate agreement and a multitude of pledges from thousands of global organizations, the world is still on track for an increase in the global temperature that will exceed the recommended 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold (having already warmed by an estimated 1.2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels). Schneider Electric’s comprehensive advisory service brings together assessment tools and strategy development with robust implementation guidance and support to ensure companies large and small can be successful in addressing their sustainability and climate action goals at a global level. 

“Climate change is the defining challenge of this century and business has a significant role to play in its abatement. As a result, the C-Suite increasingly recognizes that sustainability is no longer a feel-good investment, but a strategic performance lever to protect against risk and develop resiliency,” said Steve Wilhite, Senior Vice President of Energy and Sustainability Services for Schneider Electric. “However, to accelerate action, a mindset shift must occur. Despite a record year for climate commitments in 2020, there remains a large gap between ambition and action. Our services take aim at filling that gap, enabling our customers to set, achieve, measure, and report on a competitive and science-based decarbonization strategy, often while positively impacting their bottom line.”

Though corporate action has spurred progress in addressing climate change, to date, only 23% of Fortune 500 companies have made public climate commitments to meet by 2030. Schneider Electric’s climate change advisory service will help clients understand the importance of climate action as a risk mitigation strategy, establish or advance their sustainability journey, and devise strategies to achieve their ambitious goals. The service includes, but is not limited to:

  • Decarbonization Strategy Development
  • AI-enabled Global Resource Data Management
  • Budgeting and Forecasting
  • Portfolio Risk Management
  • Goal/Target Setting and Road Mapping
  • Energy Efficiency Potential Identification and Implementation
  • Microgrid and Clean Technology Deployment
  • Renewable Energy Opportunity Assessment and Procurement
  • Voluntary Carbon Market Evaluation and Sourcing
  • Supply & Value Chain Engagement and Solutions

The company’s pragmatic, data-driven approach to strategy and execution is rooted in firsthand design and management of the company’s own leading climate action ambitions. Repeatedly recognized in key rankings for its sustainability achievements, Schneider Electric announced earlier this week that it has doubled down on its long-standing strategy to embed environmental, social and governance considerations into every facet of its activities – and to assist its customers and business partners in achieving their own sustainability objectives. The announcement coincided with the news that Corporate Knights, a Canadian media and research company producing rankings and financial product ratings based on corporate sustainability performance, has for the first time recognized Schneider Electric number one of its annual index of “the Global 100 most sustainable corporations in the world”.

Combining the company’s expertise as the largest advisor of negotiated corporate Power Purchase Agreements in the world with the firm’s best-in-class energy and sustainability management systems and tools, including EcoStruxure™ Resource Advisor, NEO Network™ and EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor, makes Schneider Electric the chosen expert to proactively lead organizations toward a sustainable and resilient future. 

Interested parties can learn more about how Schneider Electric has helped leading companies like Faurecia and Charles River Labs in their climate action journey via webinar, Climate Action in 2021: The Year of Breakthroughs.

Insight Ranks Among Top LGBTQ-Friendly Employers on 2021 Corporate Equality Index

Insight Enterprises (NASDAQ:NSIT), the global integrator of Insight Intelligent Technology Solutions™ for organizations of all sizes, has received a score of 95 out of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equity.

Insight continues to make strides in championing LGBTQ teammates, having increased its score this year from its CEI rating of 70 in 2020 and 60 in 2019. The company joins the ranks of 1,142 major U.S. businesses with 500 full-time employees and above that were assessed in the 2021 index.

“Our progress in HRC’s Corporate Equality Index reinforces that Insight is a place where anyone is welcome, and we’re intent on growing a truly diverse and inclusive culture,” said Jen Vasin, senior vice president of human resources, Insight. “It is our diverse workforce that is responsible for bringing fresh perspectives and different points of view to inspire creativity and better outcomes across our business.”

The CEI assessment rates employers on their ability to provide crucial protections for the more than 18 million U.S. workers and an additional 17 million workers outside of the United States who identify as LGBTQ. Ratings are based on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars:

  • Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
  • Equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families;
  • Supporting an inclusive culture; and
  • Corporate social responsibility

Insight supports its teammate resource groups, which are teammate-led volunteer groups that have attracted more than 1,200 active members and provide a greater voice for cultures and communities that have traditionally faced challenges in the workplace. The Insight Stands Out group, with more than 200 members, champions a highly visible and inclusive environment for LGBTQ teammates, families and allies.

In 2020, Insight Stands Out served as an advocate reviewing company communication on self-identification, reinstating domestic partner benefits, and advising company guidelines on matters like restroom inclusivity and the dress-code policy. The group additionally partnered with Insight’s HR team to update the company anti-discrimination policy to include gender identity and created an educational resource library for teammates.

“Everyone wants to feel like they can be their authentic selves at work, and I’ve personally seen the toll it takes on people’s lives when it’s discouraged in the workplace. I’m proud to work in a friendly environment at Insight where we can be ourselves and where everyone has a voice, and I feel as though we are making meaningful changes for this company, for the people who work here and for their families,” said Deb Murphy, a senior manager for Insight’s global project management office and an Insight Stands Out co-founder.

As a member of the UN Global Compact and the Responsible Business Alliance, Insight maintains a diverse supplier program to encourage partnerships with businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities.

“From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020 was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ equality,” said Alphonso David, Human Rights Campaign President. “This year has shown us that tools like the CEI are crucial in the work to increase equity and inclusion in the workplace, but also that companies must breathe life into these policies and practices in real and tangible ways. Thank you to the companies that understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and consumers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do — but the best business decision.”

MC Companies and Move For Hunger Announce Collaborative Effort to Fight Hunger Nationwide

MC Companies – a leading Real Estate Investment and Management Company, and Move For Hunger – a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced a new partnership that will fight hunger and reduce food waste nationwide. With estimates showing that the number of Americans facing hunger in 2020 increased by 46% due to the Covid-19 pandemic – that’s 17 million more people – the collaborative efforts of MC Companies and Move For Hunger have never been more important than they are right now.

People throw away a lot of things when they move, including perfectly good food. Move For Hunger’s network of more than 1,000 moving companies, more than 1,500 multifamily apartment communities, and many of the world’s leading relocation management companies, volunteer to collect this unopened, non-perishable food and deliver it to their local food banks. To date, Move For Hunger’s network of relocation professionals and multifamily properties has collected and delivered more than 20 million pounds of food – providing 17 million meals – to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada.

The partnership will enable MC Companies to support Move For Hunger’s food rescue programs and encourage their properties, associations, & vendors they work with to integrate the Move For Hunger model into the moving out process for residents. It will also provide the opportunity to continue to expand the Move For Hunger network: a robust community of engaged individuals that want to make a difference in the lives of others and have the resources available to create large scale change.

“Partnering with MC Companies both complements and advances our mission, so this collaboration was a natural fit,” said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. “With such devastating hunger statistics all around the country, the support of MC Companies will help strengthen our efforts and allow us to provide meals to those struggling to put food on the table.”

“The mission for MC Companies and our philanthropic arm the Sharing the Good Life Foundation is to improve the communities where we operate our Real Estate. The partnership with Move For Hunger gives us the opportunity to help provide meals to our communities in need,” said Lesley Brice, President and Partner at MC Companies

Rates of household food insecurity are going to remain high for the foreseeable future. Food banks, pantries, and shelters are the only places millions of people can turn to for help. Through the support of partners like MC Companies, Move For Hunger and MC Companies are committed to doing their part to fight for the families, children, seniors, and vulnerable communities who lack reliable access to affordable, nutritious food.

Move For Hunger is a national non-profit organization that has created a sustainable way to reduce food waste and fight hunger. We have mobilized the leaders of moving, relocation, and multifamily industries to provide their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move. Members of Move For Hunger also organize community food drives, participate in awareness campaigns, and create employee engagement programs. For more information, or to find out how you can host your own food drive, visit https://moveforhunger.org/.

MC Companies is a real estate investment, development, construction, and management company specializing in the multifamily properties and commercial markets. MC Companies has completed over $750 million in multi-family and commercial value-added transactions since 2001.

GOCO rewards are calculated per address in proportion to the supply of liquidity tokens within the smart contract and time staked. This is in addition to trading fees earned directly through decentralised protocols.

The Crowdsale, the Most Momentous in Europe

The current Presale will end on 12 May 2021. 10% of the tokens are distributed at a price of 0.1 ETH with an automated referral program, a world first.

The Token Sale will take place from 12 May 2021 to 17 December 2021. 50% of the tokens will be distributed, over 250 periods of 21 hours, prorated based on the total ETH collected during each period.

A distributed and secure solution is implemented whereby contributions and rewards are managed directly through smart contracts.

Everyone can join the movement to be free together!
