July 2nd 2008 Real Estate and the Internet

With the last property boom raging there were many informational products released which tried to offer to show anyone how to make big bucks from the Real Estate market. Naturally things are different with the property market on the downturn, but it will recover sometime. The products included multimedia packages showing how to setup your own mortgage and property broker business, to info about making lots of money from foreclosures. With mortgages having slumped to a large degree there are less opportunities but some people are still attempting to push such products, insisting they will make you rich overnight. This is highly unlikely but even if it were true you should, before jumping on any internet scheme, try to make sure you perform in depth research on the product, and also on the seller. Check someones background with reverse lookup websites for a small fee, like having your own private investigator.


June 24th 2008 Britons Planning On Driving Abroad Urged To Take Precautions

British motorists planning to drive their cars abroad should exercise caution before hitting the road.

Such is the advice given by Sainsbury’s Car Insurance which reports that unless drivers take steps to make sure that they have adequate insurance cover before leaving to go on a foreign driving holiday then they could be faced with costly repair bills. According to the firm, just under a fifth (17 per cent) of people are planning on driving their vehicle overseas during the next 12 months. Overall, France was highlighted as being the most likely destination for a foreign driving break, with some 4.58 million motorists looking to take their vehicles to the European country over the next year. However, 1.89 million are set to hit the road in Ireland, with 1.7 million going on a trip to Germany. Spain, Italy and Belgium were also considered to be sought-after locations for drivers.

In addition, it appears that holidaymakers are planning a comprehensive journey, with about half of all those travelling abroad predicting they will cover a distance greater than 1,000 miles while away, meanwhile 19 per cent are predicting to drive between 501 and 1,000 miles.

However, before driving off to hit the road for Paris, Rome, Berlin or any other Destination in europe, Sainsbury’s Car Insurance not only urged drivers to get fully comprehensive car insurance but also to get iin contact with their insurer to advise them of their intentions to go away prior to their departure. It would appear that although many insurers provide cover for driving on the continent, policyholders need to let their insurer know of their intentions. If this is not done, Sainsbury’s reported drivers would likely see their cover reduced to only incorporate third party, fire and theft.

For those people who do not have adequate insurance cover whilst on their holiday abroad it could well be that they have to raid their own finances in order to meet the cost of repairs to their vehicle following a breakdown, accident or theft. This could well impact on their ability to manage loans, credit cards and mortgage repayments upon their return back home.

To minimise the chances of getting into difficulties whilst on holiday, the company advised drivers to plan their route carefully and to check the motoring legislation for the countries that they will be going through. Additionally, checking tyre pressure and brake fluid levels before departing was also recommended.

Joanne Mallon, car insurance manager for Sainsbury’s, reported: “When going on holiday, most people will remember to take travel insurance but we are concerned that some motorists are overlooking the need to ensure that their car journey is fully covered. Having an accident anywhere is bad enough but when abroad it can be compounded by a lack of local knowledge; to then find that the other party’s damage is covered, but not your own, is surely a blow worth avoiding.”

Those people looking for an useful way to pay for a trip abroad may well find that using personal loans is a good course of action. And for those wishing to buy a car to take to the road for an adventure holiday abroad, cheap loans may not only help with purchasing a new car but also help fund an adequate comprehensive insurance policy. Getting a loan for the means of getting a car could also be recommended, as a recent Experian study showed 20 per cent of males would go overdrawn in order to get a set of wheels.

June 11th 2008 Families Called Upon To Provide Deposits

Those attempting to purchase their first home are increasingly looking to their family to help stump up the initial deposit needed, it has been claimed.

Residential property industry commentator the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) states that the proportion of first-time buyers looking to parents to help them bring together a deposit is on the rise. The trend has resulted from the credit crunch leading all major lenders to withdraw 100 per cent mortgages (which lend sums covering the deposit required). Lenders in the UK have learnt lessons from the subprime mortgage crisis in the US, which resulted in large numbers of homeowners defaulting on their mortgage payments by borrowing more than they could afford.

While some families might be in a position to help their offspring raise a deposit with relative ease, others might consider secured loans as a means of gathering together the required capital. The equity growth enjoyed by those who have owned their home for a number of years could be helpful in providing the security needed to take on such a loan.

Bernard Clarke, spokesperson for the CML, commented on the trend: “[Family is] increasingly the main option for first-time buyers. It is another option, but it’s only open to those who are able to call upon that help and whose relatives are able to provide it. But we have seen [parents] who have enjoyed equity growth in their own property over a period, being able to draw on that to help relatives who are first-time buyers with a deposit.”

However, he added that the slowing property market was likely to see parents become increasing unwilling to provide financial assistance to their children. As a result, those hoping to raise a deposit in the coming months and years but currently harbouring a number of debts might like to consider a debt consolidation loan as an option. By combining their debts into a single monthly payment, such borrowers could provide more structure to the way that they tackle their debts and work more efficiently to get in a position where saving funds becomes a real possibility.

Alternatively, secured and unsecured personal loans could be taken out by those wishing to raise a deposit without parental assistance - although Mr Clarke stated that anyone doing so would have to consider their situation carefully. “They would need to look at their individual circumstances and see whether that’s an appropriate option or not. Clearly, they would then have two debts to service,” he stated. “That may be an option for those who have a large income, whose problem is … that they simply haven’t got the immediate liquidity to provide a deposit.”

Loans are becoming an option to consider for increasing numbers of people given ongoing restriction in the financial markets, which is affecting ever larger numbers of consumers’ pockets. Recent figures released by price comparison service Money Extra suggested that the impact of the credit crunch was extending beyond the financially vulnerable. First-time buyers who in more favorable circumstances might have considered themselves to be in a reasonably stable state were being forced to borrow increasing sums in relation to their annual earnings.

June 10th 2008 Bankruptcy Credit Card Rates

Credit card interest rates for people who have filed for bankruptcy are high. Most credit issuers don’t want to give credit to people who have bad credit or those who filed for bankruptcy. It’s hard to borrow money to people who have a hard time paying the money back. There is however, one bankruptcy credit card that guarantees approval and has a 0% interest for the first year, even if you have ever had a bankruptcy. Post bankruptcy credit cards are intended to help rebuild bad credit.


June 7th 2008 Save Money With A Debt Consolidation Loan

97 Years to clear a credit card debt!

If you have accrued debts on credit cards and store cards, you might be in for a shock when it comes to working out when you will pay off your debts.

Most credit cards charge just enough on the monthly repayment to cover the interest chargeable for that month. Very little of the capital borrowed is paid off thus making sure that you continue paying the interest for a very long time. I recently saw on a statement a £5,848 pound balance was incurring a monthly payment of £120.64. The interest charged for the month was £115.64. This meant that £5 was being used to clear the debt. At that rate, it would take 97 years to pay off the credit card debt, assuming that no other money was borrowed.

Most credit cards currently have an APR in excess of 16%. Store cards can be as high as 29%. If you have any of these, you would be well advised to consider refinancing all your credit card and store card debt into one cheap loan with one low monthly repayment. Not only will you save oodles of cash on interest, but you wont run the risk of missing any of your monthly repayments, and you will pay back the loan in a pre-determined time, say 5, 7 or 10 years or whatever term you choose to take the loan over.
Debt consolidation loans work. They can save you money and supplement your monthly disposable income.

February 6th 2008 debt consolidation loans can be harmful

One of the first things that pops into consumers minds who are in debt to find a way out is debt consolidation. Now before I explain why debt consolidation loans are bad first I want to separate the terms in this industry. Most people think that debt consolidation is the same as credit counseling. Both of these methods of debt relief are very similar however one involves getting a loan and the other involves making monthly payments that will be consolidated into one.

A debt consolidation loan is simply when someone uses something of value as collateral usually the equity of their home to obtain a loan and pay off credit cards and other loans. People look to consolidate credit cards or consolidate debt loans into one monthly payment and usually the interest rate will be reduced.

Now the problem with doing this is that you are not really reducing your debt at all but simply transforming it. You are essentially transforming a low risk unsecured debt into a much higher risk secured debt. Over 85% of the people who obtain debt consolidations loans to pay off debts within five years end up right back in the same position in credit card debt. However this time around the ride will not be so easy, because there is an additional secured debt that must be paid first or you can risk losing whatever that object is that secured the loan, usually your house. The problem is most people do not foresee this ever happening to them. But reality is the root of the problem was the debtors addiction to plastic and credit. Without resolving that you will inevitably end up right back in debt.

A very good option to explore as an alternative to debt consolidation loans is that of debt settlement. With this option you will actually reduce your debt not transform it and become debt free within a few years, all the while saving upwards of half of what you owe.

The risk level of losing your house if much less with looking to go through debt settlement. The only negative aspect of settling is that you must default on your bills in order for the creditors to be willing to make a settlement. So during the process you will have to deal with the harassment of creditors but that is a small sacrifice to save a tremendous amount on what you owe. You can hire a debt settlement company to help you out or retain a debt settlement law firm. You have more protection with a law firm as far as legal matters go in debt settlement and usually the negotiators at a law firm are able to save their client more money.


January 29th 2008 Planning To Get A Bridge Mortgage Loan?

If you are looking for a short term loan option and are unable to secure traditional financing, the bridge mortgage loan is for you. Here, you may have to pay higher interest rates as the loan is not approved on your credit profile. Instead the interest rate is based on the asset value of the property or the property collateral. However the benefit is that you will not have to do much documentation. It is not necessary for you to submit your income statements while applying for the bridge loan.

A bridge loan is a good solution for the problems of many people who are unable to get a loan smoothly. This is especially true in case of people who have a not-so-good credit history but expect strong chances of improvement in their credit and financial status. Besides getting you a new house, the bridge mortgage loan can also help you negotiate with your lender for a conventional loan once your credit has improved in a year or two. This way you will be able to get a better deal in future.

The bridge mortgage loan is also suitable for those who buy property with the intention of selling it soon. This is because over the extreme short term the difference in interest paid will be much lower than the potential profits that can be earned by selling the property.
