Ask any marketing person to name the bane of his or her professional existence and they’ll likely say one word: proposals.Why? How bad could it be, right? Well the process of answering a proposal can be laborious at best and haphazard at worst. At times construction firms spend more time preparing a bid than they do a proposal. And yet proposals are required for large, popular jobs that will likely add a hefty figure to your bottom line. What steps should you take in responding t
How Credit Card Theft Starts
Thieves start by targeting your personal information: Social security numbers, bank statements, tax reports, credit card debit information and passwords, or even your checkbook. Don’t leave this valuable information lying around at your office, or in your car. Be aware that you are leaving a door open for anyone to get access to your bank account or credit card information. Question anyone who asks for your credit information, including employers; find out what their privacy policy is and get a copy of it. Shred all documents no matter how insignificant they may seem to you. In addition, don’t ever lend your credit card to ANYONE, including family members, unless you are willing to take on their debt personally. Many family arguments have ended up in court with bitter feelings from one time casual credit card or debit card lending that got out of hand. When you apply for a credit card, be certain that their online application is secured, and the privacy notice is posted.
Spotting Signs of Identity Theft
* If you’ve frequently been missing your credit card bill, or your mail keeps getting “lost” contact the post office immediately. If you live in an apartment complex , find out from your superintendent or manager if you can change your mailbox key. A missing bill could mean that an identity theft has occurred and the billing address has been changed.
* If you’re suddenly getting credit cards (not just a credit card offer) from companies that you didn’t apply. Call these companies and find out if you are the account holder; if not verbally cancel the account and follow up with a written letter.
* If you’re being denied credit, or your credit card terms are suddenly being changed to higher interest terms, for no obvious reason.
* You’re suddenly getting phone calls and letters from creditors about purchases you did not make.
How to Protect Your Credit Information
The best protection is constant awareness of the use of your credit information. Choose your passwords carefully. Avoid using any easily available information, such as your mother’s maiden name, your birth date, the last four digits of your SS#, or your phone number. If you must use this type of identifier in opening an account, request a password change immediately after opening the account before it slips your mind. Secure your credit information at all times, even around your house--if you’re having work done on your home, or if you’re having a big party, or your roommate brings home guests. Don’t give out any information unless you know exactly how it will be used and by whom.
