Review of Do you know YOUR credit score?
I will be recommending this to my talk-shows in the event they have a financial planning or money related broadcast coming up in the near future.
This is clear and direct, and in a subject arena that requires the use of numbers, I wasn't inundated with those radio-unfriendly things.
Tanya delivered this with a warm, conversational tone and her interview tracks advanced the story.
People are being taken advantage of in the area of finance, budgeting and investments and we need more of this easy-to-follow-lay-person kind of advice.
