Most people still don't understand a thing about their credit score, and it's costing them big time

Credit scores greatly impact a consumer's financial moves — and how much they'll pay along the way — yet many don't even know how the rating works. Around 40 percent believe, incorrectly, that age and marital status play a role in their three-digit score, according to the Consumer Federation of America's credit card survey, which included interviews with some 1,000 people from May 31 to June 3 of this year. Only around 20 percent of people fully realize how a low credit score can bring on heftier interest-rate charges.

Indianapolis Colts unconcerned Andrew Luck still not throwing

Sports

Andrew Luck is still not throwing but first-year Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich is not concerned.

Recurring soreness in Luck's shoulder prompted the Colts to finally shut him down two weeks after he returned to practice in early...
