Once you recognize something is beyond your control, you can concentrate concen-trate on making the best of it. Taking action is more productive than worrying.

(HV M''n,.i 1 V Windows & J- Doors, inc Utahns now have the fastest credit freeze law in the country. Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and Senator Carlene Walker Walk-er recently announced that a new state law is now in effect that allows identity theft victims to freeze their credit and protect their credit ratings. "Utah's new credit freeze law stops identity thieves cold and quick," said Shurtleff. "Consumers can freeze and thaw their credit in 15 minutes." The credit freeze bill would likely have saved Rich Counter four years of aggravation after he was victimized by identity iden-tity thieves. In 2004, the Roy resident started getting get-ting calls from a cell phone company, a ban Francisco hospital and eventually a San Francisco a satellite dish company about bills for services he tough tunes a problem that could stand up to the power of imagination imagi-nation and determination. Mental toughness empowers empow-ers you to find solutions. Tough times force you to develop your strengths and formulate a strategy of thinking, enabling you to find the way around, over, under or through a problem. Problems are only temporary tem-porary aberrations on your path of life. Tough times are like a brick wall. When examined up close, both are made up of small pieces piec-es that are removable. If you try and break through a brick wall by repeatedly repeat-edly throwing your body against it, you will only become be-come sore and frustrated. However, if you climb to the top of the wall with a hammer and chisel, you can readily begin removing one brick at a time. This is the same approach that will allow you to tackle tough times. Each challenge is a collection of bricks that can be removed one at a time. You can cause problems to crumble by disassembling disassem-bling them into small pieces. piec-es. Once your brick wall of problems has been reduced into a pile of rubble, it no longer seems imposing or overwhelming. When viewed in this way, every challenge will appear conquerable. You realize that you can overcome over-come any problem. As you begin to proactively disperse adversity, your self-confidence, self-esteem and mental toughness will flourish. Rather than being be-ing apprehensive of tough times, you will become as worried about them as you would be of a housefly. They may be annoying, but they are certainly no match for you and your mind. You have the ability to be constant and consistent. You have the force of willpower will-power and determination. Tough times will come and go, but you have the power to endure and overcome. over-come. You are a tough per-son per-son who will outlast tough times.

Counter took efforts to straighten out his credit reports but the bills and the bad credit information infor-mation continued to creep back into his reports. "The credit bureaus stated they would remove my name from the fraudulent fraudu-lent account and remove it from my credit reports, but I am once again contacting con-tacting all of those creditors credi-tors again," Counter said. "I am excited about the new credit freeze law and I hope it can keep this awful aw-ful situation from happening happen-ing to anyone else." The 15-minute thaw period pe-riod was the key to passing pass-ing the Credit Freeze Protection Pro-tection law. The original 2005 bill stalled because merchants and auto dealers deal-ers were troubled by the original three-day thaw period. pe-riod. But Senator Carlene Walker and Representative Representa-tive David Clark continued to work with businesses and credit bureaus to come up with a solution and the software to speed up the thaw cycle. The bill finally passed in 2006 but it gave credit bureaus until Sept. 1, 2008 to get their computers comput-ers reprogrammed. "Nearly everybody said it couldn't be done, but now Utah has the nation's first 15-minute credit thaw cycle," Walker said. "It is a win-win solution because it protects consumers and businesses." , Here's what consumers can do if they suspect their credit information has been compromised: - Contact the three credit cred-it bureaus and give your name, date of birth and Social So-cial Security Number - For a small fee (likely $10) credit bureaus will freeze the consumer's credit and provide that person with a pin or pass- Grandpa V's Family Fruit Stand Look for signs - we are NOT a tent stand.

IH v ' AM RADIO word - The consumer can now use the pin to open a new credit account and make purchases - The freeze prevents anyone from using that credit without the consumer's consum-er's knowledge The freeze does not affect af-fect ongoing lines of credit and does not prevent credit cred-it companies from keeping track of a person's credit history. However, some companies like insurance companies are exempt and will still have access to non-credit related issues. Assistant Attorney General Gen-eral Rich Hamp prosecutes identity theft and fraud cases and he worked with Walker and other legislators legisla-tors to pass this legislation.
