The Course
Dive into the intricacies of navigating your financial rights and responsibilities with our comprehensive exploration of credit and consumer protection laws. This journey will equip you with a robust understanding of credit reports, scores, and the legislation that governs lending and borrowing – think Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Truth in Lending Act (TILA) standards. We'll dissect real-world scenarios to illustrate how these laws impact your wallet, from disputing errors on your credit report to recognizing and defending against predatory lending practices.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg! We'll also unpack the layers of consumer law that shield you daily, from the moment you swipe your card at the coffee shop to those larger-than-life mortgage decisions. By the end of this course, you'll not only have the savvy to spot illegal practices but also the confidence to assert your rights. Whether you're planning a major purchase, or simply aiming to fortify your financial health, this knowledge is your power tool for making informed, strategic decisions in the marketplace.
