• I plan to start a computer training business. If I have a score of 798 would that help me obtain a grant so that I can start a business or a grant that will help me work towards my business? I am not sure about the specifics whether it will be non profit or not... Could you please state if my score could help me obtain grants in any way.

Creditor's comments
• One same creditor provided 2 vehicle loans for my husband. While first one ended in repo and past the 7 year reporting time, the later one was paid satisfactorily. In all 3 major credit bureaus' report, the creditor reports only the second one as "derogatory" but showing no late payments and "paid satisfactorily" and with comments of "please contact for additional info" and/or "special handling". Is this legitimate, if not how should we dispute. Thanks.
