Private Mortgage Insurance (PCI) is specialized insurance which is required by lenders on mortgages which are for more than 80 percent of the properties value. When a homeowner is not able to put don more than 20 percent as a deposit on their new home, then the lender ill require that they fork out cash for Private Mortgage Insurance.

Bankruptcy is a tool that is designed to help people who are underwater with debt gain a fresh start. While that is sound in principle, there is one group in our society who don’t really need a fresh start, they just need a clean end, and that’s the elderly. We have a rapidly growing senior citizen population and while many have been able to plan for the future with quality pension and health insurance plans, there are just as many who rely on social security. Problems really develop when this same group are suddenly hit with demands from creditors on debts that they have co-signed on, often for their children or grandchildren.

In most cases, if a senior citizen is collecting social security, then they will most likely travel through the bankruptcy process totally unscathed – they won’t lose a thing. In some states, bankruptcy can be a painful process, even for our elderly. If they own their homes outright, and the state has a low homestead exemption, then the trustee may well take the home to repay these debts. An atto

Check n Go, a leading payday loan provider, released a video called Payday Loan APR: Myths vs. Reality in April 2009. As Michael Cammon, Vice President of e-Business for Check n Go Financial explains, Check n Go created this video because of common misperceptions regarding payday loans and APRs. We want to help consumers understand payday loan annual percentage rates compared to other types of loans and fees, said Cammon,

Lending institutions are required by law to show their fees and interest in terms of an annual percentage rate (APR). However, payday loans are short-term loans to be repaid on your next payday. Therefore, the APR will be stated higher for payday loans because it is based on a shorter period of time.

In this video, Check n Go compares the APR of a payday loan to other financial options consumers face if they do not take out a payday loan. Examples include the financial implications of making a late payment on a credit card bill or writing a bad check.

New research by Loan Market Group is pinpointing Generation Y as being the best savers amongst us all.

According to a survey by Loan Market Group, 69 per cent of respondents had become determined savers and more concerned about taking on further debt since the GFC. Many have looked at debt consolidation options and paying down their home loans, car loans etc.

The Loan Market poll which asked “Did the GFC fundamentally change your approach to finances?” found Gen Y respondents were the most savings conscious, with 44 per cent saying they were now focused on creating a savings buffer.

The online survey found 42 per cent of the 498 respondents said they had been creating a savings buffer since the GFC, while 27 per cent said they had been conscious about taking on more debt.

Ten per cent said they were now more risk averse as a consequence of the GFC.

These results are not really surprising given that many Generation Ys are only starting out to live on their own and are learning to cope with managing family finances such as home loans or rental payments.  Many are having issues with credit card balances and are looking to consolidate these and pay them down as soon as possible.

We all have seen advertisements online for helping to find your lost money. The question is how are companies able to hold on to money owed to you for such a long period of time. The truth is that there is not one single answer, but the majority of these people are allowed to withhold money from you due to the fact that you might have owed them money originally. Many people are quite shocked to find out that they have bounced a check or do not have enough available funds to clear a charge. Part of this is simply due to the fact that some people do not balance their checkbooks on a regular basis and others are due to the fact that someone has charged money against your account without your knowledge.

The majority of identity thieves do not go for one big charge, but charge a bunch of smaller charges against your account for as long as possible. Depending on the individual this can be for up to a month or more.
