i found there is no one giving you access for free. I would instead go to your bank. Most banks will give you your credit scores for free.

Shreveport, La. (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

Building on the success of its archiving solutions in the financial services sector, ArcMail Technology, Inc. today announced a new research report called The Critical Importance of Archiving in the Financial Services Industry.

Researched and written by industry expert Michael Osterman, president and CEO of Osterman Research, the report is being offered at no cost to those who register online to receive archiving whitepapers from ArcMail. It is filled with valuable takeaways for financial services firms as well as organizations in other markets, and provides three key steps that businesses can take to address compliance and retention obligations:

1) Every company, regardless of its size, must develop policies focused on the retention of its business records.

2) It is critical to deploy archiving technology that can satisfy content retention policies for email messages and their attachments, as well as potentially other types of content such as files, social media posts, instant messaging conversations and other data.

3) Choose an archiving system that can integrate with and satisfy other organizational requirements, such as making content available in a format that will satisfy regulators, external legal counsel and others.

Fines Exacted on Companies Failing to Retain Emails

The report comes on the heels of news earlier this month that a unit of Citigroup agreed to a $ 750,000 civil fine for not retaining millions of emails as required by securities industry rules, according to a settlement with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Financial services firms that do not comply with the various federal and state requirements for content preservation can face serious consequences, says Osterman. And while most fines have focused on larger institutions, there are growing indications that smaller banks, credit unions, broker-dealers and others are just as vulnerable to fines and other sanctions for inadequate recordkeeping.

The research concludes that archiving and retention for financial services organizations is of critical importance. Financial services firms must be vigilant to maintain adequate corporate governance practices and technologies in the context of records retention, adds Osterman.

ArcMails Universal Archiving Strategy Supports Financial Service Industry Requirements,

Demonstrates Industry Leadership

The question facing financial services firms today is no longer whether to retain data, but how much to retain and how to go about getting the job done right, says Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail.

Given the likelihood that retention obligations will become more stringent in the future, ArcMail is building upon its market leadership with universal archiving solutions that securely and cost-effectively address a full spectrum of compliance and data retention requirements, says Welch. At the same time, our solutions take into account the many new communication and messaging technologies that have emerged from social media conversations to instant messaging and more to ensure that a comprehensive range of data types are supported for our customers.

ArcMail has launched a string of innovative products this year including an archiving appliance for Salesforce.com Chatter, the real-time enterprise collaboration platform; ArcMail Guardian, an email archiving solution for Google Apps email; and ArcMail for Instant Messaging, a new IM archiving appliance that works with all the most popular IM platforms including Yahoo!?, AOL Instant Messenger? (AIM) and MSN?.

Last month, the company introduced the ArcMail Defender Cloud Storage Gateway, a new breed of gateway technology that enables businesses to designate the files they want securely available at their fingertips at breakneck speeds, while also taking advantage of the datacenter cost savings that cloud storage allows.

SpringCoin, the leading online debt relief and financial education service, today announced the first automated debt relief coach with human expertise. The new SpringCoin (formerly known as its beta version, DebtEye) delivers the most personalized plans to get consumers out of debt faster and more cost-effectively than traditional credit counselors, debt relief and budgeting solutions. Unlike existing solutions, SpringCoin integrates rewards-driven, financial education and provides complete transparency so consumers can take full control over their finances.????

Americas Debt Problem

Today the average American carries more debt than ever due to a few key reasons. First, most Americans lack of a basic level of financial education and money management skills. Second, wage increases have not kept pace with inflation and the general cost of goods and services such as medical care and tuition expenses. Third, Americans savings rates have been dropping steadily and many are at unhealthy financial risk. Up to 43 percent of U.S. households are just one unexpected financial event away from having to carry high interest debt (source: 2012 Assets & Opportunities Scorecard by CFED).

SpringCoin is a simple, more effective, and affordable way to get out of debt, said John Sun, CEO and co-founder of SpringCoin. SpringCoin takes a different approach using advanced software analytics and personalized financial education tools. Ultimately, were creating a win-win for consumers and creditors by helping establish healthy financial habits that last a lifetime.

Integrated Financial Education Improving financial literacy is at the core of SpringCoin not on the periphery as optional articles. Education content is delivered through weekly quizzes, challenges, and budgeting recommendations. It is also tailored for the financial habits and goals of each individual customer.

Transparency Unlike other solutions, SpringCoin customers always know exactly how much money is paid to their creditors and to SpringCoing over any period of time. More transparency helps consumers better track their progress and get out of debt faster.

Pricing

SpringCoin is also more affordable than comparable credit counseling solutions, which range from $ 50 – $ 120 per month for full-service plans. The SpringCoin Basic plan ($ 8 / month) provides spending monitoring, bill reminders, basic financial education tools and rewards. To qualify for the SpringCoin Premium ($ 35 / month) full-service debt relief plan, a customers debt payments with SpringCoin must be at least 5 percent lower than their payments prior to using SpringCoin.

Credit scores, on the scale assigned by FICO, range from 300 to 850. Who has an 850 credit score and what canyou do to get one? Less than 1 percent of the population has a credit score above 800, so it’s very unlikely you will have an 850 credit score. However, if your credit score is above 720, you will probably still receive the best rates.

Question by Cal Bruin: Where can I find these so-called online bad credit lenders?
I have bad credit.

I read some where, that it would be possible for some one like me with bad credit to apply for a loan online from one of these online bad credit lenders.

Where are they?

Best answer:

Answer by STEVEN F
The key words are SO CALLED. 99%+ of online lenders are SO CALLED lenders. In reality, they are SCAM operators. If you can’t get a loan from a REAL lender, you can’t get one online either.
