GRAPEVINE, TX, July 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) The staff at Rising Point has offered a special military discount on their credit restoration program for some time, but when Director of Marketing, Carolyn Clark, was scrolling through Facebook recently, she saw a re-post from a military veteran that struck a chord. It was a photo of spray-painted lettering on a garage door: "Foreclosed! 3 tours in Iraq but no bailout for people like me."
One of the Dallas-Fort Worth Account Executives, Kelly Stone, saw the re-post as well, and they both agreed that something could be done by the company for military service personnel to assist with credit issues.
After brainstorming for a several days, the Rising Point staff decided to announce an essay contest for any active or recently inactive soldiers who have served in the U.S. military overseas. The result will be two-fold: The winning submission will receive a free credit restoration program good for up to one year in order to help the soldiers' family to get back on their feet. The stories gathered from the essays will be presented to local mortgage and real estate associations to request additional professional assistance in navigating home purchase and financial issues. The essays will be 1,000 words or less describing their experience, why they should be chosen, and what they plan to do after their program is completed.
"We send our young men and women overseas for years so they can protect us and preserve our way of life," says Stone. "We should be doing so much more to protect their way of life when they get back home." Clark agrees and adds, "We know all too well that your credit isn't going to be in the front of your mind when you're halfway across the planet and risking your life. We want to do everything we can to make coming home and getting re-established as smooth as possible for our people in the military."
All active military personnel can take advantage of program upgrades at no extra charge at Rising Point as well.
Essays can be submitted to Kelly Stone at kelly@risingpointsolutions.com, and must be sent in by Sept 11th, 2012.

Paying Child Support After a Child Turns 18
Many people who are subject to a child support order wonder if they can automatically stop making payments once the child reaches the age of 18. Parents who receive support payments have this question as well, because they often pay many of their children's expenses as they attend college. The answer is not always simple and depends on a number of factors.
Generally, court-ordered child support must be paid until a child reaches the age of 18, is legally emancipated or becomes married. The support obligation may also terminate ...

Creditors Still Try to Collect During Bankruptcy
The automatic stay is a fundamental part of the bankruptcy process. It is essentially a grace period granted to debtors who have filed for bankruptcy protection that prevents creditors contacting them or collecting on any debts listed in the petition. The stay goes into effect immediately upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, and generally continues until the court orders a discharge.
Once a discharge is granted, a debtor's legal obligation to pay most debt is extinguished. Unfortunately, this does not stop some ...
