Help Save The Catlow Theater
Hollywood studios could force a historic Chicagoland movie theater to close! Movie lovers can help save The Catlow.
The Hollywood movie studios are committed to reducing their movie production and distribution costs by eliminating the use of film. Very soon, every movie theater in the country will either have converted their film projection systems to the new digital format or they will be out of business with no movies to show. The message from the movie companies to small theaters like ours is clear: "Go digital or go dark." Hollywood’s edict means the 85-year old Catlow Theater must upgrade its audio and visual equipment at a cost of at least $100,000. The multiplexes and large chains are getting substantial discounts for their digital conversions. They are not! They intend to stay in business, but well need a lot of support from those who love movies and who appreciate historic movie houses like The Catlow.

A Few Credit and Debt Tips
What is it's not your debt?
Collectors often contact the wrong person, since old debts tend to be poorly documented. That won't stop them from suing you. Send a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, telling the collection agency that you don't owe the debt and to stop contacting you. If the collector files a lawsuit, don't ignore it. You'll get the case dismissed if you can prove it's not your debt. The National Association of Consumer Advocates (at naca.net) can help you find an attorney.
Be a better borrower!
Monitor your credit reports to ensure collectors don't post old debts there. File complaints about debt collectors by calling 877-382-4357 or visiting the FTC website (ftc.gov) and contact your state attorney general's office. Search for your state's statute of limitations on debt at bankrate.com
