This week’s money news

May 28, 2024 By Liz Weston

This week’s top story: Debt settlement hurts your credit score. In other news: Weekly mortgage rates fall, but existing home sales sag, DOJ files antitrust suit against Live Nation/Ticketmaster, and why the disconnect between economic strength and sentiment matters.

Is Debt Settlement a Good Idea?
Debt settlement hurts your credit score, and there’s no guarantee of success. Consider other debt relief options first.

Weekly Mortgage Rates Fall, But Existing Home Sales Sag
In what should be a reassuring display of good timing, mortgage rates fell for the third week in a row — right at the start of homebuying season.

DOJ Files Antitrust Suit Against Live Nation/Ticketmaster
A ticketing debacle in 2022 before Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour sparked federal investigations.

Why the Disconnect Between Economic Strength and Sentiment Matters
Over the past several years, the economy has been remarkable, in a literal sense; there has been a lot to talk about.
