I am taking on a new challenge, along with the Department of vocational rehab and the help of, Jeff Daniels, and, Regina Boston, Credit Scores Rescue is on track to becoming a reality. Credit Scores Rescue is my home-based business with the intent to help buildI better credit scores for individuals with poor or slow paying credit. This has been a dream of mine for several years.
