Dryer Vent Wizard Recognizes Appliance Repair Companies for Efforts in Keeping Homeowners Safe and Reducing Energy Usage

The top 11 participants identified 195 homeowners with potential safety hazards and areas where they could reduce energy consumption

Warren, MI – Dayn Benson, VP of Corporate Development for Dryer Vent Wizard (DVW), Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, recognized 11 appliance repair companies nationwide for their efforts in keeping consumers safe from dryer fires and reducing energy consumption with the Dryer Vent Safety Advocate Award.

As part of a national contest sponsored by DVW that ran from April 1st through June 30th , 2008, the award recognizes the appliance repair companies who created the most consumer awareness of dryer vent safety and energy savings with a free meal once a month for an entire year.

“When consumers find their dryer taking more than one cycle to dry a load, they assume it’s mechanical when the real problem is lint accumulation in the dryer vent causing the dryer to work inefficiently and become susceptible to a dryer fire,” says Dayn Benson, VP of Corporate Development for Dryer Vent Wizard.

The winner of the contest is County Wide Appliance Service in Syracuse, New York who identified the most dryer vent safety hazards and partnered with John Stevenson of Dryer Vent Wizard Upstate New York from April through June to address them. Jim Ours, General Manager of County Wide and has worked there since 1968. “Our customers appreciate the specialty in his expertise especially helping us make our customer aware of safety issues in the laundry room. In addition, our technicians can focus on the technical aspects of dryer repair instead of venting,” says Ours.

The top 11contest participants identified 195 homeowners with potential safety hazards and areas to reduce energy consumption. Contest Honorable Mentions are as follows:

Same Day Service in Woburn, Massachusetts
Andy’s Appliance Repair in Wake Forest, North Carolina
Advanced Appliance Services in Gastonia, North Carolina
Betty’s Maytag in Virginia
AAA Appliance in West Palm Beach, Florida
Judd & Black Service Center in the Seattle area
ServiceCare in Birmingham, Alabama
JS Appliance in Miller Place, New York
Landers Appliance in Baltimore, Maryland
Bill & Rod’s in Southeast Michigan

According to the U.S. Fire Administration there are an average of 15,000 dryer fires in the U.S. with an approximate $88 million in property, damage 15 deaths and 400 injuries annually. “Failure to clean” was cited as the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings. Similar reports by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, (CPSC), confirm annual maintenance of dryers and dryer vents as a home safety issue lacking consumer awareness.

Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes is a national franchise company under the management of AFS Group of Companies in Warren, MI.

Chimney Problems and Solutions: Chimney Cap, Crumbling Chimney, Chimney Leaks…Rebuilding Chimneys, Chimney Repair, Tuck-pointing, Waterproofing


It is important that your chimney be in proper working order. It main function is to carry hot toxins, gasses and carbon monoxide from your home to the outdoors. If there is a problem with the chimney venting system, it can be a major fire hazard or a health issue if gasses and toxins are not exhausted to the outdoors.


A missing chimney cap:


Allows rain and snow to enter, leading to moisture build-up, causing damages, health issues and the need for extensive repairs


Allows birds and small animals to take refuge and build a nest in a nice warm area, causing a fire hazard by providing fuel for sparks to ignite


Creates a fire hazard as hot embers and sparks escape into trees or fall to the roof or your yard


A crumbling chimney or leaking chimney:

Can fall over and hurt someone

Allow poor exhaust flow and cause a fire

Allow gases to escape into the house

Moisture buildup and mold damages; health hazards

Damages increase over time due to being exposed to all weather elements


The solution is to have your chimney inspected by a specialist, who understands how important it is to have a good quality chimney liner that is strong and durable. Have the chimney waterproofed with a breathable chimney waterproofing substance sprayed on the exterior of the chimney to prevent moisture damage. This will add to the safety value of your home and saves money in energy costs.

Chimney Problems: Diagnosing and Repairing Chimney Leaks and Fire Place Problems



Oh, how annoying! Chimney problems and faulty fireplaces are a frustrating problem for a homeowner to face. Chimney problems can be difficult and time consuming to diagnose. There are many areas that can cause a chimney to leak, including the chimney cap or the crown, or the roof flashing around the chimney, or even porous bricks. It’s much more complicated than you would think. That’s why it is a good idea to have a chimney repair specialist evaluate the problem.

You might have your favorite, all-around handy-man that you regularly consult with for small home repairs, but chimney repairs should be handled by an expert. Remember, your chimney is where hot air and fumes are carried from the home; if it isn’t functioning properly, it could be a fire hazard. If it is not venting properly, it is a potential health hazard.

When using a fire place, heat rises through the chimney, drawing cooler air from the room into the fire place, which fans the fire, increasing he heat, to continue on in a cycle. Like chimney leaks, fire place problems should also be evaluated by an expert. Understanding fireplaces requires scientific knowledge of air flow patterns and pressure differentials. It is also important be experienced with different fire place construction types when choosing materials and supplies and determining avenues of repair.

Do not trust the repair and maintenance of your chimney and fire place to just anyone; call an expert for a professional annual inspection and cleaning.

Chimney Safety Tips from Mark: Prevent Chimney Fires, Save on Energy Costs; have your Chimney Inspected and Cleaned Annually



It is important to have your chimney inspected every year to be sure it is safe and functioning properly. Remember, your chimney exhausts hot, toxic gases and carbon monoxide from your home. Mark Maupin of Brick Repair, LLC, offers the following tips on chimney safety:

Have an annual inspection done by a chimney repair specialist. Cracked, leaky, deteriorating chimneys cause water damage and exhaust flow problems; waterproofing with a breathable substance which is sprayed onto the exterior of the chimney prevents water damage.

Have the fire place and firebox inspected annually for damage and wear; cracked bricks and deteriorating mortar joints; repairs must be made with heat resistant refractory mortar to restore structural integrity. Tuck pointing and repointing is the process for repairing mortar joints.

Put a chimney cover or chimney cap at the top of the flue to avoid moisture damage to masonry and steel chimneys and to keep birds and other small animals out.

If you have a wood stove, you may have a catalytic combustor, which requires cleaning about every 5 to 6 years; check the owner’s manual and stick to the maintenance schedule

A smelly fireplace, known as chimney breath is often caused by moisture, rain and humidity. Early spring is a good time for chimney cleaning to reduce summertime odors from moisture.

Chimney Sweeps are best done in the spring time, in case repairs are needed. Things get hectic in the fall, when most people have their chimneys cleaned, and if extensive repairs are needed, it might be difficult to get them done in time for winter.

Mild winters mean more chance of chimney fires as people choke back wood stoves on milder days, leading to more creosote accumulation. Many don’t realize this, so they put off having a chimney cleaned after a mild winter.

Dry wood is the best wood to burn. Of course, Oak and other hardwoods are the most selected, but softer wood is ok too, as long is it is properly dried. It’s much more important to burn dry wood than to worry about what kind it is.

Stove and vent pipes should be inspected at least once a year and replaced if they show signs of rusting or wear. It is also important that they be properly installed and fastened securely at joints.

Gas logs produce a lot of water vapor when they are burning, which can cause mold and mildew, leading to respiratory problems. If you burn gas logs, it’s a good idea to have a CO detector, which can be picked up at any home-improvement chain store.

Spring time is the best time to have you chimney inspected and cleaned if necessary. It is a great time for any repair or maintenance work to be done to eliminate mold and moisture problems, fire hazards and venting problems. Water proofing, chimney sweeps, chimney liners tuckpointing and chimney reconstruction are best done during spring, to assure safety and proper function in the winter.

Tips for Homeowners: Dumpsters and Roll-Off Rentals are not just for Commercial Projects



Dumpster rentals are essential for homeowners who are doing large home renovation, landscaping or garage clean-out projects. The rubbish will have to go somewhere. Piling it up in the back yard or hiring a hauling service at premium prices isn’t the best solution.

A good trash company will accommodate the homeowner as well. They will explain the options to the average homeowner who may not be familiar with their terminology. Roll-off containers are rented in standard cubic yard sizes. The bigger the job, the larger dumpster you will want to rent.

Be sure to choose the right size container for the job; you will typically want a container that is one size larger than you think you will need. Carpet, scrap wood, drywall, yard waste and rubbish that has accumulated over the years will take up a lot of space. Concrete, rock and dirt will be heavy and should only fill the container about quarter or half full. Your rental company will be able to advise you on this issue.

Different volume sizes come in different dimensions. Height is an important thing to consider when lifting heavy materials over the side; you might ask if you can get a lower container if you’re disposing of heavy items. Following is a description of typical dumpsters and roll-off containers:

10 Cubic Yard Container: 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4 feet high is a 10 yarder. It would be good for a small job, like tearing out a small bathroom.

20 Cubic Yard Container: 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, 41/2 feet high. This is usually the minimum size container for a large job; it will accommodate the rubbish from a small bathroom without overfilling or packing the dumpster.

30 Cubic Yard Container: This is an ideal size; it fits in front of most houses and accommodates carpet rolls, drywall debris and scrap wood without too much trouble. It’s also good for disposing of concrete or rock.

40 Cubic Yard Container: This is the size for very large demolition and renovation jobs. It’s 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and eight feet high and will serve most needs.

Decide on the size container that is right for your job, then plan where it will be placed for filling. Remember, you cannot move it once you’ve started filling it. Plan where you will be parking, whether or not you need vehicle access to and from the garage and consider how far you want to walk the rubbish before throwing it into the dumpster. Be sure the way is clear for the container to be delivered. If you will be placing the dumpster on the street, be sure to check with the city or township for codes and light requirements. The dumpster service company should be able to supply adequate lighting; a local company will most likely be familiar with the rules and regulations.

Don’t forget to be sure the way is clear when it come time for the dumpster or roll-off container to be picked up. If the driver cannot get to it, he may charge extra for his time and trouble making another trip to pick it up. You may be delayed in having it hauled away and end up paying for an additional day.

Protect Your Identity: Dumpster Divers and Trash Pickers Steal Identities

What do incoming mail and outgoing trash have in common? Both are attractive to the identity thieves. Mail scams happen all the time; your trash is also a great risk to your identity.

One of the most notorious cases of identity theft prosecuted was a case of dumpster diving. Dumpster diving is when someone goes through other people’s trash looking for items they can use or sell.

In most cases, the dumpster diver is looking for clothing or household items, discarded by others, but useful to them. Some are even looking for food. Most dumpster divers are harmless; some are homeless and the items they’re looking for are necessary to their survival.

Then there are the dumpster divers who are desperate; they’re hooked on drugs and looking for whatever they can find to sell and finance their next fix. Back in the 1990’s, Stephen Massey leader of an identity theft ring, meth addict and dumpster diver, stumbled upon the idea of stealing identities when he found barrels of recycled paper in a dump. These barrels contained everything he needed including names, addresses, birth dates and social security numbers.

Massey and his partner were caught and imprisoned in the year 2000. This case led to certain legislative acts forcing corporations and businesses to handle personal information more responsibly. Many use paper shredding services to dispose of paper containing personal and confidential information on their customers.

Corporations and business handling personal information with care is good, but people need to do this at home as well. Dumpster divers also go through trash cans; many have the trash pick-up routes down pat and their own schedules as to when they’ll be in each neighborhood.

Office supply stores sell small paper shredders for homeowners as well as larger, commercial grade shredders for businesses. Very soon, paper shredders will be as common of a household item as the microwave oven.

People should be using care when throwing out junk mail, especially those annoying pre-approved credit card and mortgage loan letters which many people just throw out without opening. These are a great commodity to the identity thief; just what they need to get started in business.


In addition to identity theft, dumpster divers also pose a liability risk to business owners who have dumpsters. Most dumpster rental services provide dumpsters that can be locked at night.

Let’s Talk Trash—Dumpster Rental Service; How it Works


Dumpsters are not just for commercial or industrial sites. Many people who live just outside of common municipalities have to use a dumpster service for their trash pick-up service. There are many different cases where a dumpster rental service is the best option.

A common place to see waste receptacles is in front of a house that is being renovated. These are for disposing of rubbish; that is, garbage that is not food waste. Rubbish is placed in a different section of the landfill because landfills are organized by types of trash and its rate of decomposition.

If you’re working on a large project or clean up and need to have a lot of rubbish carried away, the simplest solution is to rent a dumpster. The dumpster rental company will deliver the container to your home and sit it by the curb or in your driveway. Once you have finished filling it, call the dumpster rental service and have them pick it up and haul it away.

A dumpster is good for the rubbish from a large home-improvement project where you might be ripping out walls, old flooring or bathroom fixtures. The easiest way of disposing of it is throwing it into a large dumpster and having someone haul it away.

A dumpster can come in handy when doing large projects in the yard like cutting down trees, removing shrubs or tearing down an old fence. Moving day is another time a dumpster would be a handy place to throw out whatever you don’t want to take to the new home.

If you’re thinking of renting a dumpster, keep in mind where you want to have it placed. Be sure the area where your want the dumpster and the area leading up to where you want it placed is clear. Also plan plenty of room to park your car if the dumpster is going to be in the driveway. Place the dumpster in a convenient location to your project to avoid spending too much time walking everything to the dumpster. And keep in mind that dumpsters are tall; you might need to create a temporary, but sturdy step to make it easier to heave the rubbish into the container.

Different dumpster rental services have different pricing; some charge by the day; others charge by the weight they’re hauling away. Some may just charge a flat rate determined by the size of the dumpster. Plan ahead and check out several different dumpster services to see what options they have to offer. A good dumpster rental service will be able to accommodate the occasional residential clean-up as well as the large commercial or industrial site.

Spring Clean-up: Trash Bins, Mini-Bins, Dumpster Rental and Roll-off Dumpster Service

Do the neighbors get an eyeful of rubbish every time you open your garage door? Are you’re a pack-rat? Do you have a large, 3-car Garage, but no room for even 1 car? Would you start an avalanche if you were to reach up and pull one item down from the rafters? It sounds like spring clean up time. You will need a large dumpster to throw the trash into. Otherwise, there will be an unsightly pile of garbage in front of your nice clean home when you finish the job.

When storage space for seasonal items becomes packed with other items, like things you mean to fix or repair or materials for unfinished projects, outgrown clothing, items the kids left behind when they moved out and many other things that accumulate over time, the job is often much larger that it looks. Be sure to plan ahead before tackling this project; allow twice the amount of time you think it will take to remove the clutter.

Decide what size trash bin or dumpster will be needed to get rid of the trash. You will save yourself a lot of time and trouble just throwing everything into the trash bin rather than stuffing garbage bags, not to mention that huge pile of clutter in the front yard waiting for trash pick-up day.

Be organized when taking on this project. Move the cars and use the driveway as a place to pile everything. Empty the garage completely, sweep it clean and begin reorganizing. This is the time to put up shelves, build a cabinet or install the organizers.

Now that everything is easy to see, you can decide what to keep, what to donate to charity and what gets pitched in the trash bin. Maybe you have things you’ve been meaning to give to a friend or family member, something you borrowed and need to return or things other people left at your home. Have different piles for different categories.

Handle each item just once! Put it in the appropriate pile, on the shelf, in the tool box or in the trash bin. Get rid of whatever you haven’t used in over a year; chances are, you really do not need it and will never use it. Continue with each item until the driveway is clean, the garage is organized and the dumpster is full.

Decide where to store everything. Items like tools or things used on a regular basis should be stored in an easily accessible location. Holiday decorations and seasonal items can be placed on high shelves or up in the rafters area. Remember to allow space for easy access to the lawn mower, bicycles and other large items that will need to be taken in and out regularly. Be sure to make it easy to access with or without the cars being in the garage.

When the project is complete and the dumpster is being rolled away, make a mental note to be more organized in the future; remember how this huge project took all day. Admire your handiwork for a few minutes to appreciate the nicely organized garage you’ve been thinking about and looking forward to all winter. Of course, clutter happens, over time, but a clean-up project this large can be kept down to an annual event if you remember to have a place for everything and keep everything in its place.

Economic Conditions Encourage New Careers in Michigan: Dumpster Diving, Pontiac, Detroit, and Michigan Urban Areas


Dumpster Divers are proud of their ability to provide for themselves and their families, without being forced to beg or steal. There are several different types of dumpster divers; some are actually looking for food! Others are looking for broken or discarded items that can easily be fixed and sold or traded. Some dumpster divers work alone; others team up in case help is needed getting to the bottom of a well packed dumpster.

Dumpster diving is growing in popularity and is most commonly witnessed in urban areas. Many homeless people have their favorite dumpsters to hit at various times. They may not be able to afford to eat at your favorite restaurant, but you can bet they know exactly what time the establishment will be closed and what time the unused portions of prepared food is thrown out. If they are able to get to it in time, and it doesn’t get mixed up with cleaners and buried under other garbage, chances are it will be edible.

One person’s trash is another’s treasure; the broken chair can be repaired; the coat with a broken zipper is better than none for someone who is homeless or otherwise less fortunate.

Some dumpster divers have their own clubs or networking groups. That’s right; this is growing in popularity and becoming a career of choice for many people who have it down to a science. They know the trash service’s pick-up routes and they know when the dumpsters are full and when they will be emptied. They keep in touch with other divers to inform them of when something is discarded that they may be able to use. They team up to help each other when more than one person is required to carry the bounty away. Some will collect useable items they do not need, and trade them to others who do need them.

Maybe one diver lives very close to a bakery and one lives close to a deli; they can get together at the end of the evening for dinner; one provides the main course, the other desert! Or, how about the one who has easy access to the building supply store or resale shop; he can get a good deal on a torn t-shirt or an old pair of tennis shoes, or the scrap piece of plywood that can be supported by two milk crates for a perfectly good table or shelf.

The possibilities are endless; however, there is also the chance of injury and liability issues to be considered. Dumpsters should be locked and secured to prevent the possibility of injury leading to a costly lawsuit. Business owners should be sure they have a secure dumpster and liability insurance to cover them in the event of a break-in.

About Dumpsters: Size, Shape, Type-Dumpster Rental


Spring time is a busy time for dumpster rental companies; if you have a large clean-up to do, book your dumpster delivery early to be sure the company has one available to suit your needs.

Dumpsters are available in a range of sizes and shapes to accommodate any size job for homeowners, business and construction sites. You can get a 2 cubic yard mini dumpster or a 30 cubic yard roll-off dumpster, an many sizes in between. The large roll-off dumpster is usually carried to the site on the back of a truck with arms that lift it on and off the truck.

Some dumpsters have drop-front or drop-side doors convenient for homeowners who wish to wheelbarrow their trash directly into the dumpster. This dumpster is in high demand during the spring and summer months, so book ahead.

If you are a homeowner with a small yard, or it is fenced in or otherwise unable to accommodate a dumpster, you will need to check with your city or township about leaving the dumpster on the street. The dumpster company should be able to provide proper lights for the dumpster for safety purposes, if it will be in the street overnight.

Dumpster rental companies use different bases for their fees. Some charge a flat, daily or weekly fee; others charge by the load or by the ton. Ask around to see what is available and how the fees are structured to be sure you’re getting the best deal and the appropriate size and shape dumpster to suit your needs.

If you are planning a spring-clean up of your yard, basement, or garage consider renting a dumpster to save time on disposing of the rubble. This way you won’t have the unsightly stack of trash bags and rubble piled up in front of your home waiting for your regular trash service. A reputable dumpster rental service will pick up the dumpster as soon as you are through with it, so your clean-up project is complete and the trash is hauled away immediately.

About Container Service: Ash Cans and Trash Bins

Hotel and resort owners know how important it is to maintain the outside of their establishment. First impressions are very important so litter and debris, spread all over the parking lot or front of the hotel or resort will not look good. Unsightly, overflowing trash cans don’t do much for the look of the place either.

To keep things looking nice and neat, have the proper trash receptacles where they are needed. Guests will be happier if there is a convenient place for them to pitch their trash on their way in or out of their room. Remember, they’ve been traveling, eating fast food in the car and they have trash to throw away when they check in.

Place the appropriate sized trash can, trash bin or ash can in convenient places for guests, and make sure it fits without blocking public access areas or creating an eyesore. People are more likely to use them if they can get to them easily and the parking lot and surrounding area will stay cleaner and free of litter.

Ash cans should be placed in typical locations near doors, benches and other outside seating areas, for guests to use. This saves hours of sweeping and picking up trash.

There are many styles of trash cans, garbage bins and ash cans to choose from. Different materials are used for different outdoor places, including heavy duty treated wood, metal, concrete or stone. Some are designed to look nice as well as being functional.

Stone or concrete are great for standing up to harsh weather and they come in many designs and styles from simple to elegant, to match up to the needs of the establishment.

While Diving for Hidden Treasure, Dumpster Divers Steal your Life


While most people think the idea of going through peoples’ garbage is disgusting, to an identity thief the reward is worth doing the dirty work for. The average victim is worth over $30,000.

The scary part is dumpster diving is not a crime if the trash is left in a public place. If it is out on the curb, anyone can pick it up and carry it away. Public dumpsters like those by apartment buildings are not off limits to the dumpster diver. Dumpster diving is only a crime when someone goes through trash on private property, like the trash can sitting out behind the garage.

So, if your trash is out by the curb, the trash picker simply takes it away to go through it and find the valuable information needed to create new accounts, take from existing accounts and take over other personal aspects of your life. This can be done rather quickly and the damage is done before you suspect a thing.

The sad part is it can take over two years to straighten out the mess. It’s so much easier to protect yourself from the start. The easiest way to protect your identity from the trash picker is to shred everything that contains personal information about you and your family. Use a quality shredder that cross-cuts your documents, turning them to confetti, making it impossible for the identity thief to put the pieces of your life together just to destroy it.

Identity theft by the dumpster diver is easy to prevent by taking the time to properly dispose of paid bills, credit card pre-approval letters, mortgage refinance offers and anything that contains personal information, account numbers or social security numbers. Shred everything before putting it out to the curb.

Ashley Tutors’ Helps Students Avoid Summer “Brain Drain”

Innovative tutors use physical activity to make education part of summer fun

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. – Ashley Tutors (http://www.ashleytutors.com) has hired an energetic and diverse team of tutors to put into practice the Ashley Tutors’ motto: LIVE! Learning Is Very Entertaining. The experienced tutors were assembled to make learning entertaining through the use of kinesthetic learning, a teaching style that engages a student using physical activity. Focused on keeping students sharp over the summer through the kinesthetic teaching methods of Ashley Fagel, a Maryland certified teacher working in Montgomery County, Md., Ashley Tutors offers in-home, one-on-one academic help in any subject to Washington, D.C. area students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Research shows children often forget some of what they’ve learned over the summer, according to Duke University education expert, Harris Cooper. Cooper and his colleagues found that achievement test scores declined, on average, between the spring and the fall. “Typically, the first quarter of the new school year is based on students catching up, learning new routines and expectations, and relearning previously taught materials,” said Ashley Fagel, a resident of Montgomery County, Md. and the founder of Ashley Tutors. “I see ‘brain drain’ every September in my classroom. That’s when those kids who took the summer off don’t get back on the learning track for almost three months.”

Ashley Tutors can provide what a student needs to start the school year well. Understanding that everyone learns differently, one of Ashley Tutors’ main goals is to figure out what type of learner each child is, and then meet their individual needs while also having fun. Kinesthetic learners account for 45 percent of the population, according to Muneera Spence, Oregon State University professor. The Ashley Tutors’ team focuses on the kinesthetic method in which a student carries out a physical activity, rather than listening to a teacher talk, and allows a student a two-minute motor break to move around for every eight minutes of learning.
“The breaks taken when using kinesthetic learning styles provide our tutors a chance to get to know each student better and make learning enjoyable,” said Fagel, who was featured prominently in a recent story about summer “brain drain” on NBC 4 in Washington, D.C. “This creates a strong foundation for a successful working and learning relationship that can begin in the summer months and carry over into the school year. Whether it is one of our reading tutors, math tutors or any tutor your student might need, our team can improve a student’s attitude toward learning and boost their confidence.”

In addition to teaming their student up with a tutor, parents can also check out Ashley’s journal on the Ashley Tutors’ website to pick up useful tips on how to keep your student sharp this summer, such as educational computer games or a daily writing journal. “If Ashley Tutors can make learning fun during the school year, I can’t wait to see what they have planned for the summer when there is less homework and more time to focus on my son’s areas of improvement,” said Chris Gault, parent of a student at Ridgeview Middle School. “I know that if I can balance my child’s summer fun and relaxation with educational opportunities, we will be able to set him up for a quick start to the next school year.”

ABOUT ASHLEY TUTORS: Ashley Tutors is an in-home one-on-one tutoring service covering all subjects offered to students in grades kindergarten through 12 in Montgomery County, Maryland. Ashley Fagel, a Maryland certified teacher with more than 3 years in private tutoring experience advises Ashley Tutors, and also developed its philosophy. Guided by Montgomery County resident, Josh Chernikoff, Ashley Tutors is staffed with exceptionally passionate and driven tutors who have college degrees and tutoring experience. Ashley Tutors sets itself apart from other tutoring centers as an in-home service that makes learning fun for its students, and helps students find their way to success in academics and life.

“As a teacher, I see ‘brain drain’ every September,” said Fagel, who was featured prominently on NBC 4 in Washington, D.C. in a recent story about keeping students sharp over the summer. “Kids who took off don’t get back on the learning track for almost three months. Typically, the first quarter of the new school year is spent catching up, learning new routines and expectations, and relearning previously taught materials. Our tutors can help students avoid that pitfall by being the catalyst for an educational and fun summer!”

How to Start a Business with Less than Perfect Personal Credit.
So there you sit. You have great plans for a great new business – a sure-fire winner. But there’s a problem. You’re pretty sure your personal credit is less than perfect. Well, actually you know it’s in the dumpster. End of dream? No, start of a plan to get this ship out of dry dock.
Here’s what you have to do:
Find out what your credit score is before you approach any financial institution about a loan. Maybe it won’t be as bad as you think, but you won’t know unless you check it out. That means getting your report from all three of the major credit-reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian or TransUnion. This way you’ll find out exactly where you stand.
There’s another benefit here as well. It’s possible your report may contain errors – a late payment, for example, you know you made on time. Or a claim of a missed payment, when you have the canceled check to prove it was paid. Errors do occur, and if you find any, now is the time to get them corrected, before you go out looking for business funding.
But let’s say that after checking your credit report, you determine that it’s correct, and yes, your credit comes up less than stellar. What do you do then? Get moving!
One thing potential lenders really dislike seeing is late or missed payments. If you had a good reason for that error (family emergency, out of country, hospitalized, etc.), write a letter of explanation to the credit bureau. It’s possible you could get it lifted from your report. You could also enlist the services of a credit repair company, if you don’t know where or how to start. And those high interest credit cards you’ve been carrying balances on? Pay them down to 30% of the credit limit as quickly as possible.
And a word about credit cards: Those colorful little pieces of plastic you’re carrying around are probably worth thousands in credit. If you’re like most folks, the temptation to use them to pay for less-than-necessary items (do you really need another flat screen TV?) could be a problem. If you can’t control your personal spending, do you really think a loan officer will think you can control your business spending any better? No! It really isn’t that hard to do, and whatever credit problems you might have, can be overcome by good financial management. You can do it if you want to.
Straighten out your credit problems well before going to any bank. While loan officers look fondly on borrowers with excellent credit, they also appreciate those with less-than-perfect credit who have recognized and corrected the situation. It says a lot about you and your worthiness to receive a loan. The key is to start establishing your business credit so that your personal credit doesn’t become as important. You should start doing this immediately, even if your business is a start up. There are lenders that will loan to start ups as well as established businesses but you must have your business set up correctly as a business and not as a hobby. You can work from your home and still be a legitimate business as long as all your documented information (EIN, State filings, business licenses, business phone number and address) is consistent. This is the key to unlock the doors to business funding.
And finally, one last word about credit: Once you do get your lines of credit or business credit cards, never, ever think about co-mingling your business and personal credit. Keep credit cards separate, as well as bank accounts. The temptation can be awfully strong to co-mingle, but it’s a path you don’t want to go down.
