Careful When Choosing A Credit Agency

A warning from the President of Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada on choosing an agency.

John Eisner tells us there are some companies making claims right now they can't back up.

He says some agencies are promising to cut interest rates before even looking into a client's financial situation.

Eisner warns about one agency that is calling homes of people who are not having financial problems and he says they have made a complaint about it.

53-year old James Harvey Goddard has been found in the rubble of what used to be a home in Sussex Corner.

The body was found late yesterday afternoon after the home was destroyed by an explosion Friday night just after six o'clock.

A 51-year old woman who escaped the blast has been released from hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

The quiet neighbourhood was rocked when a huge explosion demolished the home which was for sale.

Residents we spoke with in the area of the house tell us Goddard was an explosive expert who worked in the mines in both Pennobsquis and Sussex.

RCMP still don't know what caused the explosion.
