The Effects of Bankruptcy on Your Credit Score


A credit score is a numerical rating that represents your creditworthiness based on your credit history, debt levels, and payment behavior. Bankruptcy is a legal process that allows you to eliminate or restructure debts if you cannot repay them. Bankruptcy lowers your credit score because it signals that you were unable to repay debts.

Avoiding Accidents During the Holiday Season


Winter weather during the New Jersey holiday season significantly increases drivers’ chances of being involved in a severe car accident. The last thing you want is to spend your holidays in the hospital after a crash, so follow these tips for avoiding car accidents while driving in winter weather:

Before heading out, make sure your vehicle is in good condition for winter driving. Check the pressure and tread depth on your tires, as colder temperatures can cause tires to lose air, and worn treads reduce traction on icy roads. Additionally, make sure your windshield wipers work and that your wiper fluid reservoir is full with a winter-resistant formula. Finally, check the charge in your battery since cold weather can strain it, increasing the chance of catastrophic failure.
