The Spine Care Clinic of Keiser University

The Keiser University Spine Care Clinic (KUSCC) provides high qual-

ity chiropractic care. Our interns are here to provide our community a

resource to help improve overall health and performance. The interns

not only treat spine related ailments, but also aid in sports-related inju-

ries such as rotator cuff tendonitis, elbow and knee injuries and

sprained ankles. The KUSCC provides a variety of chiropractic thera-

pies such as spinal and extremity manipulation, and Cox Flexion-

Distraction. Additionally, they offer a large variety of physical thera-

peutic modalities like cold laser, ultrasound, electric stimulation, elas-

tic taping, stretching, rehabilitation and therapeutic exercises. Onsite x-

rays are available. As a teaching clinic, these services are administered

by interns under supervision of licensed chiropractic clinicians. The

KU Spine Care Clinic also sells products such as custom orthotics, topical pain-relieving gels, natural tinctures

and vitamins, as well as some home exercise equipment.

Schedule an appointment and learn how you can improve your health and overall well-

being and get back in the game. The Keiser University Spine Care Clinic is located at

2081 Vista Parkway on the KU West Palm Beach campus.

Check Your Credit, Protect Your Credit!

The world of credit can be confusing, challenging, and

downright maddening to understand. Yet, it is one of the

most important aspects of your financial health. Your

credit reflects how responsible you are with other people’s

money. Credit health (or what most refer to as a credit

score), is derived from the information contained in your

credit report(s). Reviewing your credit reports regularly

(at least once every 12 months) from all 3 credit

bureaus, (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion), is

essential to ensure the information in those reports is

correct.

The credit report contains a vast amount of data about your past and present credit transactions

(including student loans). It's used primarily by potential lenders to evaluate your creditworthiness

(ability to borrow). But it can also be reviewed by current and potential employers, licensing agencies,

and insurance underwriters. Prior to applying for credit or a new job, you will want to get and review a

copy of your credit report. Information reported inaccurately can cause many issues for any of these

activities!

You are allowed 1 free report from each of the 3 reporting agencies once every 12 months. The best place

to obtain your reports is www.AnnualCreditReport.com. Beginning with the pandemic and continuing

today, this website allows consumers a free credit report from each agency once every week! You can

also contact the bureaus individually, but AnnualCreditReport.com provides access to all 3 in one place.

Services like Credit Karma (TransUnion and Equifax), Credit Wise (TransUnion and Experian), Credit

Journey (Experian only), and various others may not provide information from all 3 bureaus. What you

receive might only be a summary of data, not a full, comprehensive report. Remember, we are focusing

on the credit report, not the credit score!

Why view all three bureaus? Companies that you have credit with may report differently to each

bureau, or they may only report to one bureau. Which report might be used for review or scoring is up to

the lender you are applying with, so we don’t always know which one will be used. We need to make sure

the information in each report is accurate, that no one has compromised our credit data or used our

identity.

Checking your credit report(s) does NOT hurt your score! Neither does checking your own credit

score, but we will discuss the score in another article.

Besides the annual report, you are also entitled to a free report under the following circumstances:

A company has taken adverse action against you, such as denying you credit, insurance, or

employment (you must request a copy within 60 days of the adverse action)

You're unemployed and plan to look for a job within the next 60 days

You're on welfare

Your report is inaccurate because of fraud, including identity theft

You can order your free annual report online at www.AnnualCreditReport.com, by calling 877-322-8228,

or by completing an Annual Report Request Form and mailing it to Annual Credit Report Request

Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.

Check Your Credit, Protect Your Credit! ...Continued

Alternatively, you can contact each of the three credit bureaus:

Experian National Consumer Assistance Center, www.experian.com, P.O. Box 2104, Allen, TX

75013-2104, (888) 397-3742

TransUnion LLC, Consumer Disclosure Center, www.transunion.com, P.O. Box 2000, Chester, PA

19016-2000, (800) 916-8800

Equifax, Inc., www.equifax.com, P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374, (800) 685-1111

Attention Student Loan Borrowers! Remember, interest accrual and federal student loan payments restarted

September 1, 2023. If you hold federal direct Unsubsidized loans, interest started to accrue on those loans September

1, 2023. Federal direct Subsidized loans will continue to have the interest paid by the federal government while you

remain a student above ½ time (in-school deferment) or are on a deferment period such as grace period.

Please register for the free website portal.iontuition.com, to track your loans; know your servicer, review

interest rates and accrual as it restarts, understand repayment plans/options, as well as deferment, forbearance,

and consolidation.

I will be hosting webinars covering more details on this subject (budgeting),

credit and student loans throughout the semester. Check your weekly

Campus Connection email from Student Services for details on dates and

times for each topic. I can be reached directly at

gstam@keiseruniversity.edu or 904-238-3099.
