Can automated bill payments improve your credit score?
Experian, in a corporate article by Stefan Lembo Stolba, posted
an important article on its consumer site “Can automatic bill payments help my
credit score?”
Generally, yes. One
problem I have is that many credit card company sites (Target and Chase) are
hard to log on to – passwords expire quickly.
The tendency is for them to be forgotten then if logon is difficult.
The Bank of America Bill Pay page has some issues, of not
refreshing information between pages, and keeping expired cards. The end result
is that sometimes payments go to wrong accounts and aren’t properly credited.

Arlington Public Schools (VA) offers adult class in identity theft self-protection
I don’t think I’ve shared an announcement of a class before,
but Arlington Public Schools (VA) offers a course for adults in how to prevent
identity theft and other scams, Wed. May 15 at 10 AM, with an announcement
here.
There will be particular attention to scams targeting
seniors and to smartphone security.
The event takes place in an office complex near the intersection
of Washington Blvd and Route 50.
