We’ve been away on an extended end-of-season vacation, (in Italy, should readers care about such things) so apologies for the lack of posting lately, and well, the whole summer. As we swing into fall you’ll be seeing more and more of the old behind the mortgage, but in the meantime, hold yourselves over with a couple of credit/identity theft related hacks. Rather boring, but important stuff, we know, but its been a while since we’ve touched on this:
First, if you haven’t done so this year, got get yourself a free copy of your credit report here: www.annualcreditreport.com

Next up? The do not call registry [donotcall.gov] Stop the telemarketing.
