Vision Credit Education, Inc.

(Raleigh, NC) The Helen Wright Center for Women is hosting a Ready to Rent workshop series from June 8 through June 11, 2009. Vision Credit Education will be providing a special intensive workshop on credit on Day 3 of the workshop series.

The Ready to Rent series combines tenant education with consumer training. Participants that complete the workshop series are better prepared to make good financial decisions, understand their credit reports and make progress toward improving their credit.

Tenant education focuses on the rights and responsibilities of tenants and their landlords. Participants find out what to do to resolve conflicts over perceived breaches in their rental contracts.

Segments on budgeting and saving helps tenants prepare for unexpected expenses and recurring costs so that they can make sure their rent is paid on time each month. An emergency fund can be established with just a few dollars a week, which can quickly reach over $100 that can be used for emergency expenses.

Anyone with damaged credit or a history of evictions can benefit from this class because of the focus on credit repair. We teach how you can repair your own credit rather than use expensive credit repair companies. An improved credit score can improve your approval chances when submitting a rental application.
