The Clark Howard Talk Radio Show
is on in Fayetteville, KAFY-FM, 1030, from 2-5 p.m. Ft. Smith
runs his show on KWHN from 4-6 p.m. With proper equipment and
software, you can hear his radio program on your computer through
his website.
Being a former travel agent, Clark
has a travel terminal in his home. His regular Friday flyer
segment is very popular. In it, he gives you information on
great travel deals. Clarks philosophy is rather than plan
a destination, plan to go somewhere and be flexible to go where
the deals are.
His book and/or tape give several
excellent websites and strategies for car buying and selling.
This topic is covered in his first chapter because of the universal
interest.
Another great tip is to get your
credit score free once a year at www.eloans.com.
He provides a sample Drop
Dead letter to collection agencies to stop harassment.
He stresses to get any payment dispute in writing, claiming
that is the #1 complaint he hears from listeners. Getting a
credit report corrected can be one of the most difficult things
a consumer can do. You must be able to prove yourself right
both to the lender and credit bureau.
This book is well written, easy
to read, current with valuable websites, and empowering with
steps and strategies to help you.
