NORWOOD, MA, April 22, 2013 (Press-News.org) As the dust settles after a debtor files for bankruptcy, questions and inquiries begin to arise relating to removing any negative credit data or hint of a recent bankruptcy filing. Irwin Pollack, President of Boston, Massachusetts-based Patriot Bankruptcy, encourages clients to focus on three key issues relating to prior bankruptcy information and how they can protect their credit reports given the alleged financial fresh start:
1. You don't have to do anything in order for your bankruptcy or any included accounts to be removed automatically. Chapter 7 bankruptcies are deleted ten years from the filing date and Chapter 13 bankruptcies are normally deleted seven years from the filing date.
2. What many people fail to understand is how there is not just one credit score and there is more than just one credit reporting agency. You are well-advised to get a copy of your credit report from all three credit reporting agencies - Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Review each, and take a proactive approach toward cleaning up any inaccurate or incomplete data.
3. Know the law and when items can be removed from your credit report. Items can only remain on your credit report for a specific amount of time. You can notify the credit bureaus to remove items once their time has passed.
Lawyers regularly sue credit reporting agencies and the companies that provide information about you for errors they refuse to correct. This is particularly true when it comes to dealing with post-bankruptcy issues.
Here's the most important point relating to removing bankruptcy information from your credit report:
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have the right to dispute the accuracy of your credit file. When a credit reporting agency receives your dispute, it must reinvestigate and record the current status of the disputed items within a "reasonable period of time," unless it believes the dispute is frivolous or irrelevant. Pollack interprets the rule to read, "if the agency cannot verify a disputed item, it must delete it."
Since bankruptcy records are often moved to some warehouse of files after a year or two, they can many times be difficult to find or locate. If your records cannot be verified, they must be deleted from your report. Alternatively, you can always hope that the credit bureau is so busy with disputes and investigations that they don't have the support staff to verify and check your inquiry. In some cases, it may be easier for them to just delete the entry.

You Can Afford Divorce
2013-04-22
It turns out that in lieu of divorce, many couples simply choose to live apart. The reason: They believe they cannot afford to divorce. A recent longitudinal study conducted at Ohio State University shows that couples who separate but don't divorce primarily do so for financial reasons. The role of religion, often thought to play a role in separations, turns out to be less important.
This explains why divorce filings go down during a recession, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Moreover, in the current very slow economic recovery, many houses ...

2 days of staging as effective as 4 for high-altitude climbs
2013-04-21
BOSTON–Afghanistan's geography is dominated by a collection of craggy peaks, the highest—a mountain known as Noshaq—has been measured to 7,492 meters. Consequently, the soldiers on duty in this mountainous terrain must often ascend to great heights as part of their duty. However, quick climbs without adapting to altitude can lead to a condition called acute mountain sickness (AMS), marked by headache, fatigue, gastrointestinal distress, nausea, and insomnia.
Conventional knowledge suggests that to avoid AMS, climbers need to "stage," or set up camp, at a lower altitude ...
Sniffing out solutions for millions of Americans with smell loss
2013-04-21
BOSTON — Snot. It's not something most of us spend a lot of time thinking about, but, for a team of researchers in Washington, D.C., it's front and center.
Robert I. Henkin, founder of the Taste and Smell Clinic in is charmingly self-deprecating. He says with a chuckle that he's often called a "spit and snot doctor," but he knows all too well that for his patients – those who no longer can appreciate the fragrance of fresh-cut grass or the intricacies of an herb-infused sauce – such loss is no laughing matter.
"You might think: 'Oh well, you can still hear. You can ...

"This tool offers sports dietitians and health professionals a new, quick alternative to analyze athletes' dietary intake," said Lindsay Baker, PhD, Principal Scientist, Gatorade Sports Science Institute.
To confirm the accuracy of the tool, Baker and colleagues compared D.A.T.A. with the USDA 5-step multiple-pass method. A total of 56 athletes ages 14-20 participated in the ...
More evidence berries have health-promoting properties
2013-04-21
Boston, MA—Adding more color to your diet in the form of berries is encouraged by many nutrition experts. The protective effect of berries against inflammation has been documented in many studies. Diets supplemented with blueberries and strawberries have also been shown to improve behavior and cognitive functions in stressed young rats.
To evaluate the protective effects of berries on brain function, specifically the ability of the brain to clear toxic accumulation, researchers from the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and University of Maryland ...
A noninvasive avenue for Parkinson's disease gene therapy
2013-04-21
BOSTON — Researchers at Northeastern University in Boston have developed a gene therapy approach that may one day stop Parkinson's disease (PD) in it tracks, preventing disease progression and reversing its symptoms. The novelty of the approach lies in the nasal route of administration and nanoparticles containing a gene capable of rescuing dying neurons in the brain. Parkinson's is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by the death of dopamine neurons in a key motor area of the brain, the substantia nigra (SN). Loss of these neurons leads to the characteristic ...
Development of novel therapies for endothelial damage may heal atherosclerotic plaques
