Queens, NY, December 28, 2009 – Save the date!  If your New Year’s resolution is to get your personal finances under control during this recession, NYS Senator Joseph P.

Ms. Moy will cover two major topics dealing with personal finances, followed by a Q & A with the audience:

2)  Credit - what is credit?; how to establish, build and repair credit; how to obtain and read your credit report; how to choose a  credit report; avoiding identity theft and scams.
