From your Hampton Recreation Over the past decade, most of the barriers women once faced when applying for credit have been replaced replaced by new laws, altitudes altitudes and credit granting policies. Problems may still occur, but most stem from lack of accurate information about the nature oferedit,experts say. "Women applying for loans and credit cards have come a long way in the past ten years, yet they can run into road blocks through misunderstandings," says Ann Rowan of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations (MCCR). "It's vital that all women take the time to learn about their rights and responsibilities regarding credit. If you are not fully and -accurately informed, you could face problems in an emergency." Recently divorced or widowed women can, for example, find it difficult to borrow money in their own names if they have not established established and maintained separate credit records. In the lenders' eyes, they haven't proven themselves financially responsible, Rowan says. Wives often have signing privileges for their husbands' husbands' credit cards or have their own cards for their spouses' accounts. But these women are not considered considered responsible for such accounts. Therefore, the cards don't help establish their personal credit histories. histories. "This can come as an unpleasant unpleasant surprise for some women, especially those who have been in charge of the family finances for years," Rowan says. "But it isn't discrimination, it's an example of how the world of credit works.

Everyone seeking credit -- men and women alike -- must prove they are willing and able to repay their own debts. They must establish their "credit worthiness," Rowan says. "It never makes sense to borrow needlessly, but when legitimate needs arise it's wise to establish your own personal credit record," she suggests. "Talk to the loan officer where you do your banking. Try getting a credit card or applying applying for a small loan using a savings account, car or other asset as collateral. "That way, you'll have prooflhatyou handle credit well and you'll be more likely to have access to loans ifyou find yourself on your own or faced with an emergency." Women who enter marriage marriage with established credit credit records should be careful careful to maintain them. Keep personal credit cards current current and put at least a few of any necessary loans in your own name if possible, Rowan suggests. If you are responsible for paying the household accounts, ask that they be billed in your name. Call the local credit reporting reporting agency and ask how to have your records separated separated from those of your spouse. Working wives should have little trouble establishing establishing their own credit records, records, as they have a steady source of personal income. All that's required is a bit of effort to obtain a credit card or personal loan, solely solely in the woman's name and make all payments on time. "Many women have realized the importance of understanding these and other facets of the financial market," says Rowan. "They are educating themselves about how best to handle loans, savings and investments." investments."
