CREDIT WHEN CREDIT IS DUE

You can take control of your finances and learn to manage your money more effectively. Novadebt has joined a growing number of Credit Counseling Agencies in offering the Credit When Credit Is Due course.

The nation's foremost financial and credit education program, this 300-page text will help you achieve security and financial stability by providing money management skills and proven techniques that will help you be a smarter consumer.

Each lesson is a self-contained unit, so you can read and study any lesson you want in any order you want. However, you probably will benefit the most if you study the lessons in order. Each lesson should take about 45 minutes to read and complete the corresponding test. Of course, the total time needed to complete the program will vary from individual to individual.

The 12 lessons included in CWCID course are:

  • Lesson One: The Facts Of Life
    What you need to know to get along as a financially responsible adult

  • Lesson Two: Living On The Edge
    How to budget and save your money, and plug your spending leaks

  • Lesson Three: To Borrow Or Not To Borrow
    How to decide if you should pay cash or borrow the money you need

  • Lesson Four: So You Have Decided To Borrow Some Money
    How to get through the credit-granting process once you have made the decision to borrow

  • Lesson Five: The Terms Of The Deal
    How to determine if you are getting the deal you have bargained for

  • Lesson Six: Auto Loans And Leases
    One of the toughest deals to negotiate

  • Lesson Seven: Home Sweet Home
    The largest debt you are likely to ever have

  • Lesson Eight: Credit Cards And Other Loans
    What you need to know about credit cards, personal signature loans, etc.

  • Lesson Nine: You've Got Trouble When
    How to tell you when you may have a problem

  • Lesson Ten: When You Fall Behind
    Dealing with delinquency and bill collectors

  • Lesson Eleven: Bankruptcy
    The ultimate credit overload

  • Lesson Twelve: Building And Rebuilding Your Credit
    How to establish good credit when you have no credit history or even a bad credit past

    When students complete the course successfully, they will be registered in a national database and sent a registration card identifying them to lenders as graduates of a national standardized credit education program.

    They will also receive three cards addressed to the three major credit bureaus allowing them to add a positive statement to their credit reports.

    The concept of the program is similar to the well-known driver's education course. When people take driver's education and learn the rules of the road and necessary driving skills, they are considered to be better drivers. Auto insurance companies recognize them as better driving risks and grant discounts on insurance premiums to those who satisfactorily complete the course. The same theory applies to consumers who are borrowing money or asking for credit.

    Individuals who successfully complete the Credit When Credit Is Due program should be better able to steer their financial course in the future.
