EDUCATION NEWS

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • On July 11, Judge Sean Jordan ruled that the plan to stop most medical debt from appearing on credit reports was not allowed—leaving hundreds of consumers in Forsyth and Guilford counties, including many Greensboro residents, facing higher credit costs. The decision means that the CFPB rule will not protect borrowers from medical bills affecting their credit scores.  News & Record
  • Today, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office Community Resource Unit offers the Yellow Dot Program — a tool that places key medical and personal details in a vehicle or on a refrigerator to help first responders when communication is hard. Residents can call Sergeant C. Stephens at 336-641-5313 for more information.  YES! Weekly
