Remember the old superstition regarding a broken mirror? The individual who breaks the mirror is supposedly destined for seven years of bad luck. Similarly, if the credit bureau has negative financial information, a person can expect seven years of difficulty making major purchases and qualifying for any loan.

For instance, forget trying to buy a different vehicle on credit. Unless the cash is in hand, a salesman will likely decline an application to purchase a new, or used, vehicle. Bad credit repair will definitely be necessary before making any major purchases. (read more about a bad credit auto loan) In most, if not all, cases of bad credit, the financial activities in question will remain accessible to creditors for the next seven years. However, unlike the superstitious fear of bad luck associated with a busted mirror, if a credit agency has an individual’s name on file, he/she is positively sure of having limited purchasing power in the future. So, hopefully before a credit bureau gets involved, a person can take the following steps to initiate bad credit repair. If not, the same will still have to be accomplished to make sure a name is erased at the end of seven years.

First, begin by cutting up all credit cards. At the time, plastic money seems like getting something for nothing, at least until the bills start coming in the mail. Get the scissors, or the paper shredder, and eradicate credit cards from troubled financial circumstances. The temptation to purchase on credit, and dig an even deeper financial hole, will be eliminated. Without the power to buy anything on time, bad credit repair begins.

Second, a good source for helping people accomplish bad credit repair is a consumer credit counseling service. Many such resources are free, and available in small and large communities. A quick call to a local agency should lead in the right direction. Why bother? A credit counselor can establish contact with the creditors and often convince them to reduce or eliminate interest or late fees. Also, trained professionals can help in the process of consolidating bills and establishing a workable budget.

For a fortunate few, a financial crisis does not lead to bad credit. Should the car break down, unexpected medical bills threaten the budget, or innumerable other reasons for financial stress, most companies are willing to work with the consumer. Payment plans can be arranged, until the bills are caught up. Companies generally hate resorting to bill collections, repossessions or disconnections. The process is actually an added expenditure for them. Therefore, if the customer calls and explains the situation, most businesses are more than willing to come up with a feasible plan for easing financial woes.

Similar to a pilot unable to pull up and stabilize a flight in a downward spin, if an individual fails to make payment arrangements with creditors, the end of economic freedom is near. An individual labeled by bad credit will first experience the frustration of having the utilities disconnected. After a letter of notice, a service provider can even turn off the source of heat, as long as the city is not suffering a life-threatening freeze. In addition, reestablishing service is very costly. The consumer will likely be required to pay the previous bill in full, pay any applicable fees related to the disruption of service, and he/she will generally have to pay a generous deposit, to ensure payment in the future.

Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent plant that grows widely is Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa. The San Bushmen, who live on the fringes of the desert, eat this plant to suppress hunger when they go on long hunting trips.

CSIR, the South African Research Institution, realized the importance of this plant and investigated it. They isolated a long molecule, P 57, that actually suppressed hunger. The patent was sold to a British company called Phytopharm. Phytopharm in turn teamed up with Pfizer to produce a synthetic pill containing P 57.

Phytopharm conducted clinical trials, first with rats and then with humans. They claim that the Hoodia powder, 400 mg, taken for 15 days reduced calorie intake by 1,000, compared to control group. As Pfizer could not produce synthetic P 57 economically, Phytopharm arranged for cultivation of the Hoodia plant in the Kalahari Desert, and set as its target to market the product by the year 2008. The plant takes five to seven years to be ready.
