Credit Repair in Windham CT

National Credit Fixers: 330 Roberts Street 4th Floor East Hartford CT 06108 phone: 860-282-6181 www.nationalcreditfixers.com. National Credit Fixers boasts of 12 years experience repairing low FICO scores. Whether your credit has been damaged by a foreclosure, bankruptcy, slow credit, collections, judgments, repossessions, etc. we can help. We are the experts in credit restoration and credit repair.

We believe that going the extra mile is necessary to ensure maximum results and success. Most credit repair companies or "law firms" only send out some generic form of dispute letter which you could do yourself at home. The problem with this method is that there is only about a 10% chance anything will even get deleted. Even if a couple of items were removed, it would most likely come back on your credit the next time the creditor re-report to the bureaus (generally every 60-90 days). We believe that taking care of an issue at the root of the problem is the ONLY effective way to handle it. Our multi-stage process ensures that the maximum amount of inaccurate or unverifiable information is permanently removed. We guarantee our results and know our services will change your future by improving your credit. We have a full refund policy in place which is stated on the front page of our contract.

We strive to be different. While a fresh start with a good credit is a starting point, we don't stop there. We educate every client of the credit driven marketplace and empower them with the knowledge to maintain their new found freedom. After our process has concluded, many of our clients rely on us for information and advice on major financial decisions to protect their good credit rating.

As you can see from above, two fewer homes sold in 2009 than in 2008. But here's the good news, look at the percentage ratio from list price to sales price in 2009 compared to 2008. This actually means that properties are being more competitively priced which is a good sign. I'm all for looking for the good in the market. Just throw me a bone every once in a while.....

I'm wondering how these stats compare to other AR'ers areas?

Will I be on TV tonight?

Linda Davis and Chris ColterYesterday and today have been pretty amazing. I have received plenty of tweets, emails and facebook notifications from friends asking about tonight's Voluntown CT Extreme Makeover Home Edition show. Most who asked about it want to know if I will be on TV tonight? For those who haven't followed, I was a lead volunteer coordinator for the build of our Connecticut Castle for the very deserving Girard Family in Voluntown CT.

To answer the question: I have no idea. If you have ever watched the show, they don't spend a lot of time showing volunteers. In fact, you might even think that Ty and his design team actually build the house. HA.

The best chance of spotting my chubby face will be during the Brave Heart March at the very beginning when the volunteers show up or when Ty calls the Girard family in Orlando. I was right behind Ty during the call.

Tonight the build team with their brown coats, volunteers with their blue shirts, and the whole dang community will come together to celebrate ABC's Voluntown Extreme Makeover - Home Edition. The 42 minutes of ABC's production is only a part of the festivities.

The doors will open at 6:15 for a 1-hour "Behind the Scenes" video. I'm guessing this will be the part of the evening that volunteers will enjoy most. I expect the hootin' and hollerin' to take place during the pre-show. The Ledyard Jazz Band will be there for the warm up.

I'm using the photo above as my fat photo for Weight Watchers. I joined on Thursday. Of course, I do have on 4 layers of clothing, a hard hat and I'm wired for radio communication, but that doesn't excuse my chubby face. Sorry Chris, I don't mean to imply you are fat too. Chris Colter, of Mad Science, was my partner during the CT Extreme Home Makeover project. It was extremely cold but we did eat well.

On being selected as Volunteer Coordinator.

Connecticut's Quiet Corner - Heaven on Earth

In Connecticut's northeast corner, also known as the "Quiet Corner" to those that live there, lies "The Last Green Valley".

The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley or northeastern Connecticut and south-central Massachusetts has been called "The Last Green Valley" in the sprawling metropolitan Boston-to-Washington corridor. At night the region appears distinctively dark amid the urban and suburban glow when viewed from satellites or aircraft. In the daytime, the green fields and forests confirm the surprisingly rural character of the 1,085 square-mile area defined by the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers systems and the rugged hills that surround them.

The Last Green Valley is half the size of Grand Canyon National Park and more than ten times that of Acadia, the largest national park in the northeast. Forest and farmland make up more than 70% of its 695,000-acres, yet it lies only an hour from 3 of New England's 4 largest urban areas. Its 300,000 inhabitants reside only 2 1/2 hours from 25 million people. This relatively undeveloped rural island in the midst of the most urbanized region in the nation makes it a resource of local, regional, and national importance.

Many things make The Last Green Valley special. It boasts:

  • 2 of the most scenic and productive river systems in New England
  • More than 80 ponds and lakes with exceptional water qualities and habitats
  • 7 state forests, including the largest in Connecticut
  • 16 state wildlife management areas
  • 5 state parks composed of thousands of acres
  • More than 130 miles of trails, including the East Coast Greenway, a National Millennium Trail
  • The presence of moose, black bear, fishers, sea lamprey - species of animals returning after no presence for generations

Loss of The Last Green Valley would have direct, irrevocable, and negative effects on America, particularly southern New England. Why?

  • The forests of The Last Green Valley provide oxygen for 8.3 million people, exceeding the needs of its population by more than 27 times. Our forests filter and store 1.2 million tons of carbon that would otherwise remain airborne.
  • Our forests produce 1.4 million tons of new topsoil every year, compensating for erosion in stressed parts of the ecosystem.
  • The Last Green Valley has an abundance of clean water, including the largest aquifer in Connecticut (2,600 acres). A pilot resource inventory for the towns of Brooklyn, Canterbury, Plainfield and Sterling, showed that 31% of the land was underlain by stratified drift aquifer deposits.
The health of Long Island Sound is greatly enhanced by The Last Green Valley. Its large swaths of forest greatly reduce nitrogen loading of waterways. In the Thames River Basin (most of which is in The Last Green Valley), 81% of the 357.3 miles accessed fully supported aquatic life with no threats.
