2003, the research found. Specifically, in those two years, it did not report limits to Equifax and Experian in about 80 percent of the cases, and did not report to Trans Union about 65 percent of the time.

Home Equity Line Of Credit (AXcess News) Mclean VA - According to a recent study released by the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies (AHAA), ad sales in hispanic print and television media grew 4.7 in 2004.

"Just that one credit card made the FICO model think that the card was maxed out, " Mr. LeFebvre said. "We got Capital One to report their credit limit and we moved them 31 or 32 points up by correcting that one issue." The 2004 Federal Reserve study's finding that 46 percent of the consumers' files were missing at least one credit limit indicated the problem had worsened for consumers.

Credit Solution Of America "Our new study confirms what AHAA agencies have known for years," says Carl Kravetz Hispanic Advertising Agencies Foundation, Inc. (HAAF) Chairman. "Hispanic marketing is flourishing. Yet still more than 100 of the top 250 television and print advertisers are allocating less than one percent of their total budgets in these media to reaching the influential U.S. Hispanic consumer. Some of America's most iconic brands -- like Apple, Maytag and Nike -- are missing in action. Others are doing the barest minimum: Mattel, for example, showed 0.1% spending in the Hispanic market in 2004 according to study findings. Considering that nearly a quarter of all children in America are Latino, it just doesn't make good business sense."

Nuance reported fiscal fourth quarter revenues of $61.9 million, a 47 percent increase over revenues of $42.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Nuance recognized a net loss of $7.7 million, or $0.06 per share, in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared with a net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.06 per share, in the comparable period 2004.

Credit Card Solution "The continued growth in Hispanic media spend is encouraging," says Loretta H. Adams, founder and president of TNS Market Development, the multicultural arm of TNS. "However, the stronger growth in general market media spend suggests that U.S. marketers have not yet aligned their Hispanic Media Share with the fact that over one American adult in ten speaks Spanish at home. This provides marketers with a significant opportunity to further support their brands," Adams concluded.

Credit Union AHAA first commissioned analyses of targeted advertising spending levels in 2002, and since its foundation in 1996 the association has developed strategies to foster the relationship between U.S. Hispanic consumers and corporate America. "We want corporate marketers to trust the data, invest in the whole Hispanic consumer -- regardless of language spoken -- and consult AHAA agency advertising experts to deliver profitable returns on their investments," Kravetz says.
