– Dont close any credit cards. Almost 30 percent of your FICO score, the one most lenders rely on, is based on how much of your available credit youve used (called your credit utilization ratio).

Rent row ignites at fire-hit building

The owners of Bangkoks Fico Place office building, which was severely damaged by fire over two months ago, are involved in a dispute with tenants over rent and insurance claims.

Manjusha Pandey, director of Info Sys Asia, an IT outsource company, said...
