ie by Paul Mattar Question: How do I go about finding out what is in my Credit Bureau file? Answer: All you have to do is make a written request. Every reporting agency is required to disclose information to you during normal business hours. The agency will disclose the nature and substance of all information, including the sources of credit and personal in- formation and the names of recipients of your con- contained in your file. While reviewing your file, you can be accompanied by one other person of your choosing. Of course, the Bureau will require reasonable identification of both yourself and the person accompanying you before making any disclosures. If you find any inaccuracy or incompleteness in your file the bureau will confirm, complete, correct, sup- I am thinking of buying a new fridge. I have some Credit counsel money for a down payment, but what should I do about the balance? Answer: Most stores can arrange monthly payments for you. They will have you sign a contract, showing the amount you will owe, the number and amount of your monthly payments, and the rate of interest. Some stores handle this financing themselves and some pass them on to a finance company and you would pay them. Now there are a few things to watch for when you do this, and I will list some of them for you. When you shop price, monthly payments and cost have been filled in, and make sure you have a copy of this contract before you leave the store. Pay as large a down payment as you can afford and pay off your balance as soon as you conveniently can. In this way you will save on service charges. Never have too much of your monthly income tied up in installment payments. If you are in any doubt ask and preserve your good credit standing. Man convicted of using dead mother's credit card Narcotics charge dismissed Charges of possession of a narcotic against John Clifford Boyle, 20, of 248 Seventh Street in Midland were dismissed in Provincial Court Monday after he had pleaded not guilty. The charges stemmed from an incident last November 9. Constable Murray Tam- blyn of the Midland police told the court that he had observed the accused 1:20 a.m. Tamblyn said the man was weaving and had attracted his attention. He said the accused was carrying a blue ski jacket over his arm. Boyle's counsel, Robert MacKinnon put him on the stand and Boyle stated the Boyle told the court that he had been at a party held the previous evening and after drinking had passed out. The next thing he remembered, he said, was when the policeman stopped him. Two of Boyle's friends, John Smith, who hosted the party, and Barry Campbell were called as defence witnesses. Smith told the court that Boyle had been drinking heavily and that he had passed out at roughly 11 p.m. MacKinnon requested the protection of the Canada Evidence Act and received it Boyle's pocket. Judge Montgomery granted this protection. Then Campbell told the court that when he was cleaning up he saw a bag containing what he ELMVALE recognized as marijuana near Boyle where he was lying on the front room couch and assumed it was Boyle's. Accordingly, he put it into the. pocket of Boyle's coat. Smith and Campbell then woke Boyle up, Smith told the court. They offered to call him a cab but he said Boyle told them he could make it home on his own. Judge Montgomery in- dicated that the Crown had said it is necessary for the person to have knowledge of that possession. He said that this had not been established in this particular instance and accordingly dismissed | the charge.
