CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Nov 8, 2011) - TransUnion, one of the three major national credit reporting agencies and a global leader in credit and information management, continues its commitment to helping consumers better manage their credit health by introducing a new library of consumer credit education videos on its YouTube channel. The new series features six topically-based segments and informational links to related content at TransUnion.com. Videos can be accessed free of charge at www.YouTube.com/TransUnion.
"In today's economic climate, it is important for consumers to understand their financial situation, how to better manage it and how to protect their good name," said Heather Battison, TransUnion's senior director responsible for consumer education. "These videos, developed from a list of frequently asked questions from our members, were created to help consumers better understand how credit works, how to protect themselves from identity theft, and how to make wise financial decisions, like understanding how to pay down their debt and when to refinance."
The six videos are just the first of many that will be added to the library. The current list of topics includes:
- What do I need to do to have healthier credit?
- How do I correct something on my credit report?
- How do I protect myself from identity theft and fraud?
- I believe I am the victim of ID theft - Now what?
- How do I get myself out of debt?
- How do I refinance my home?
Additional consumer resources can be found on the TransUnion Credit Education webpage or on the TransUnion YouTube channel at or by liking the TransUnion Facebook page.
