Do you need a loan urgently? And are you worried about your credit score? You can always approach the internet based money lenders for no credit check loans. Yes you heard it right. These are the loans wherein the money lenders do not conduct any kind of credit check before approving your loan application. This is why there are almost nil rejections of loan applications. No matter how good or how bad your credit score is, you get your loan approved: that too, within a matter of hours.

Financial Fitness in 2009

Reposted from:

During the worst economic crisis in a lifetime, the right financial decisions are crucial.

BusinessWeek asked financial planners for some advice on what to do -- or not to do -- with your money in the New Year. As we bid farewell to a dreadful 2008, these "resolutions" may help keep your finances on the right track in 2009:

1. Don't try to predict the future.

"We are currently in the midst of unprecedented and complex challenges," says Femi Shote of Asset Harvest Group in McLean, Va. Anyone who thinks he or she can predict what's going to happen is "delusional," Shote says.

Financial advisers often hear from clients who would like to sell stocks now and then buy again when the market hits bottom. "My response is, 'How do you know when that will be?'" says Trent Porter of Priority Financial Planning in Fort Collins, Colo.

2. Do keep enough cash available.

Even if you're not worried about losing your job, a rainy-day fund can provide peace of mind.

There are different guidelines for how much cash to keep on hand. Some say $12,000 or more per adult; others say it should be six to nine months of living expenses. With extra cash available, you can avoid selling investments to pay for expenses in an emergency.

3. Do invest internationally.

Though the financial crisis started in the U.S., the past year has been worse for investments in the rest of the world. The MSCI EAFE, an index of international stocks, is down 43% this year, and stocks in emerging economies fared far worse. American investors who diversified abroad have also been pummeled by the rise in the U.S. dollar.

Even after a year like that, advisers say it's not wise to abandon international investments entirely. For one thing, though some key overseas economies, like China's, have been hit hard lately, their long-term economic fundamentals look better than those of the U.S.

4. Don't try to pick one winning investment. Diversify.

Putting all your money in one stock is dangerous at a time when a company's bankruptcy can completely wipe out the value of its shares.

Robert Siegmann of Financial Management Group in Cincinnati advises clients to balance their portfolios between fixed income and stocks, with shares in various types of companies -- small and large, U.S. and international. "Don't try to pick the winning stock, or the winning idea. Just diversify across all investments and markets," he says.

5. Do think about energy efficiency.

Russell Francis of Portland Financial Advisors in Beaverton, Ore., recommends that investors take advantage of a $500 federal residential energy tax credit that was rescinded in 2008 but returns in 2009. The credit can help cover the costs of adding insulation or replacing doors, windows, or furnaces -- home repairs that should also save you on heating and cooling costs.

6. Don't stop contributing to 401(k) and other retirement accounts.

Says Sidney Blum of GreenLight Fee Only Advisors in Evanston, Ill.: "Everyone loves to invest in their 401(k) when the markets are flying high, but they should keep putting money in while the markets are down." He adds: "More money is made at the bottom of a market than at the top."

Even more pessimistic planners say you should be taking advantage of any match your employer offers for retirement fund contributions.

7. Do live below your means. Save.

Investing for the future is only possible if you have some money left over at the end of each month to sock away. View this BusinessWeek slide show for 25 ways to save more each month.

8. Don't make sudden moves.

"Refrain from making extreme changes to the portfolio just because the financial markets are volatile," says William Howell, a financial adviser in Noblesville, Ind. "Stick to the overall investment game plan."

In such an extreme environment, investment decisions based on emotion or fear are likely to lose you money. It's probably better to ignore the day-to-day news and follow a long-term investing plan.

9. Do pay off expensive debts.

Rather than investing your money, you first might consider paying off debts, especially those with high rates or those for which interest is not tax-deductible. The avoidance of interest will likely save you more than your investments would have earned.

Stanley F. Ehrlich, an adviser in Westfield, N.J., notes: "Paying off a car loan with 7% interest provides an immediate 7% return, a return that is not (currently) available through most asset classes." Credit-card debt is so expensive that most planners say it is always the first thing people should pay off.

10. Don't give up on stocks.

"Historically some of the best periods for stock market returns have been during dismal economic times," says Paul Winter of Five Seasons Financial Planning in Salt Lake City. Though investors approaching retirement shouldn't risk too much money in volatile equity markets, investors hoping to build a nest egg for the long term have few better options than the stock market.

11. Do track your spending.

"It's very easy to lose sight of where your funds are spent," says Alexandra Ollinger of Truepoint Capital in Cincinnati.

G.M. Livingston III, a planner in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., advises clients to buy software like Quicken to track their spending. "It's a universal mistake," Livingston says. "Most people don't know where their money goes."

12. Don't pay high management fees.

It doesn't only matter how much your investments earn; it is also important how much you get to keep after trading costs and fees paid to financial advisers and fund managers. When market returns are small or nonexistent, even a 1% or 2% management fee can hurt. Decide if it's worth it. Also, check out offerings from traditionally low-cost fund companies like Vanguard, where the average mutual fund expense ratio is 0.2%.

13. Do review your credit reports.

With the Federal Reserve cutting the federal funds rate close to zero and policymakers eager to revive the housing market, mortgage rates are expected to drop substantially in 2009. That could be a great opportunity to refinance your mortgage, but only if you have a solid credit score. Check your credit report for any errors now, says Scott Beaudin of Pathway Financial Advisors in Burlington, Vt. "Fixing problems takes time and you don't want to be trying to fix your report while in the middle of a mortgage application," he says. The three U.S. consumer reporting agencies set up a Web site, to allow consumers to access a free copy of their credit report each year.

14. Don't follow the herd.

"Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful," says legendary investor Warren Buffett. Warren Ward, an adviser in Columbus, Ind., agrees, advising his clients to ease back into stock or bond markets rather than seeking the safety of cash or Treasuries as many other investors are doing now. "Do your own thinking and don't allow yourself to be panicked into taking an action you'll regret," Ward says.

15. Do write down an investing plan and budget, and stick to them.

A budget can help control spending and boost the amount of money you save each month. An investing plan takes the emotion out of your investing decision. "Investing systematically (is) especially (important) during market downturns," Ward says.

16. Don't forgo necessary insurance.

You can save some money by increasing your car insurance deductible or forgoing life, disability or home insurance, but you could also be left penniless after a serious emergency. Full coverage isn't always necessary, but make sure you're protected in a worst-case scenario.

17. Do check out your financial adviser.

The arrest of Bernard Madoff, who saw his $50 billion hedge fund collapse in an alleged Ponzi scheme, shows the danger of relying on one person -- whether a fund manager or a financial planner and adviser -- to handle your nest egg.

Don't just pick a broker or planner out of the yellow pages. "Do your homework," says Eileen Freiburger of ESF Financial Planning Group in Manhattan Beach, Calif. Ask advisers about their qualifications, certifications, and educations, as well as their fees, ethics and disclosure policies. Look them up in online databases that track complaints against planners. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's BrokerCheck is a good place to start.

18. Don't invest in anything you don't understand.

This financial crisis has demonstrated the dangers of too much complexity in the investing world. Investors lost big on asset-backed securities and other investments that in many cases they never really understood in the first place. If your adviser or broker can't adequately explain an investment in a few sentences, maybe it's not for you.

19. Do make sure safe investments are actually safe.

J. Mark Joseph of Sentinel Wealth Management in Reston, Va., sticks with supersafe government debt for his clients' fixed-income investments. "Bonds are for safety, so make sure your bonds are safe," he says. "Just because something is a fixed-income investment does not mean it is safe."

In case your bank or broker fails, make sure your bank accounts are covered by insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and your brokerage accounts by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation or supplemental insurance.

20. Don't take more risk than you can handle.

Some investors will react to 2008's losses by trying to be more prudent and conservative in the future. Others, however, will try to win back their losses through bold, risky bets on the next big thing.

That's happened in past downturns, says Elaine Scoggins of Merriman Berkman Next in Seattle. After the tech bubble burst, investors flocked to real estate. A classic mistake is "following one investing mistake by an even bigger one."

The past year has given investors an idea of how bad market conditions can get. In the future, investors may want to evaluate how much risk they're really willing to take and how long they're willing to wait to get outsize returns.

Ten Tips for Refinancing in a Recession Saturday, December 27, 2008

As with many things, refinancing can be broken down into a series of smaller steps, each of which is fairly simple on its own. For example, the following are ten tips that can help anyone refinance a mortgage successfully:

1. Specify the reasons for refinancing. Is the purpose of this refinancing to lower the interest rate, reduce the monthly payment, or lock in a fixed monthly payment? The type and terms of the refinance mortgage needed will depend on which of these--or which combination of these--goals is in play.
2. Define the refinance mortgage parameters. Based on the above goals, set targets for interest rates and monthly payments. Decide on the mortgage term and whether to apply for a fixed or adjustable-rate mortgage. A refinance mortgage calculator can help define these parameters.
3. Check your credit rating. In particular, find out whether it has changed since you last applied for a mortgage. A low credit rating will affect the interest rate and the availability of a refinance mortgage.
4. Determine changes in property value. A drastic drop in property value can make it difficult to refinance a mortgage unless that mortgage is old enough to have been paid down substantially.
5. Research prepayment penalties on the existing mortgage. Some mortgages have penalties for early repayment, which includes refinancing. This is not necessarily a deal-killer, but it is important to know the amount of any penalty so it can be measured against the potential savings from refinancing. Also, the original lender might waive this fee if they handle the refinancing.
6. Obtain refinance mortgage quotes from a variety of refinance mortgage lenders. Mortgage rates and lending standards vary from institution to another, so it is well worth researching multiple refinance mortgage lenders.
7. Ask lenders for full disclosure of points, closing costs, and other fees. This will help with setting up apples-to-apples comparisons between refinance mortgage lenders. For example, the lender offering the lowest interest rate may also be charging the most in points. Try to request quotes with as nearly identical terms as possible for comparison purposes.
8. Ask lenders how long they will commit to their rate quotes. Lenders can't offer the same rate indefinitely, but they may commit to locking in a rate for a reasonable period of time to allow for the application process.
9. Use a mortgage calculator to compare monthly payment savings with closing costs and other upfront fees. Besides comparing refinance mortgage quotes against each other, also compare them against your existing mortgage. It is likely that there will be a trade-off between paying upfront expenses to refinance a mortgage and achieving a savings in subsequent monthly payments. It is important to make sure the savings in monthly payments will, in time, adequately compensate for the upfront costs.
10. Check for any prepayment penalties in the refinance mortgage. As mentioned in tip #5, prepayment penalties can dampen the benefits of refinancing. Since another refinancing opportunity may arise in the future, it would be helpful to avoid prepayment penalties in the refinance mortgage and any benchmark lending issues.

Again, each of the above is a simple step on its own, and taken together they will help clarify the process of refinancing a mortgage.

Iva Services, Showing the Way to the Ones Who are Down and Out Wednesday, December 24, 2008

But even under such testing times, Individual Voluntary Arrangement, popularly also known as IVA across the whole United Kingdom has recently gained a lot of momentum among a huge chunk of people who are facing scores of problems in getting rid of their pile of debts. These IVA services, in recent times have suddenly become one of the most preferred way of settling the claims of creditors in a very convenient way. Interestingly, this is one alternative that without affecting the concerned person's future prospect, provides him with the cutting-edge solution to overcome the problematic financial hindrances.


Basically, Individual Voluntary Arrangement is an agreement inked between the debtor and participating creditors jointly. Conceptualised specifically to serve the debt-affected people, this agreement minimises the burden of debt on the shoulders of affected person to a large extent, giving him ample time to repay the due amount to the creditors, respectively. The best part of this service is that it is carried under the wings of law, hence, chances of being exploited in any way are almost nil. The whole process is executed under the supervision of Insolvency Practitioner, who takes care of the fact that the whole process is conducted honestly and on extremely transparent lines. The IP makes sure that the person acting on IVA advice, gives a detailed look to all the possible options. In case when it is a last resort, IP gathers all the details regarding the total value of asset available with him, property and any other thing which could help out them. Thereafter the proceedings follow, where a proposal is drafted and voting is asked for. Here the IP makes sure that the interest of neither creditor party nor the debtor party is affected, without compromising on the prime objective.


IVA services are a far better approach to resolve the debt relating problems than filing for Bankruptcy, which in the long run can be detrimental to a person's own credit profile. Ask Vincent Collins*, a former IT professional, who after losing his job to the recent downsizing wave, was under tonnes of debts. With the pressure of debt mounting on him, he was about to file for Bankruptcy, just at the right time when he was advised to go for IVA services, by a close friend of his. IVA advice proved to be a valuable one for Vincent, who after undergoing the process, is now breathing in fresh air with no worries of redemption of any long-forgotten debt troubling his mind.


Despite being a long term process, IVA definitely provides a sound solution to the problems of debts. One of the best features of this process is that it provides a solution that is agreeable to both the parties which eliminates all the chances of harbouring any kind of ill-feelings against each other. Another most striking fact about IVA Services is its secrecy factor. Yes, the whole procedure is performed with utmost secrecy so that the applicant does not get affected by the social stigma associated with it. Moreover, the person availing the services of IVA, does not lets him feel the pinch of paying off to numerous creditors without going hard on their basic requirements, accounting for their survival.

The Rise of Supermarket Credit Cards Tuesday, December 23, 2008

Recent years have seen a big increase in competition within the Australian credit card industry, a sector that only five to ten years ago was heavily dominated by the big four banks. Some of these new issues have neen local non-bank issuers while others have been overseas banks looking for a slice of the profitable Australian banking market. A new sector that has emerged from this is the supermarket credit card with Coles group offering a card and more recently the Woolworths credit card.

Along with department stores and supermarkets, credit cards in Australia are now issued by online retailers and telecomms companies. Major retailers in Australia have observed that more and more customers are paying for purchases with their cards, which means they have to pay more in merchant servicing fees. Having their own card helps them become more cost-efficient.

As a result it is no great shock to see the two largest grocery store groups in Australia launching their own cards.

Woolworths credit card

This combination credit and store card is formally called the Woolworths Everyday Money Credit Card. It is a store card because you get extra discounts and privileges when you use it for purchases during special promotions in Woolworth stores. In addition, it is a regular credit card, issued by HSBC Bank Australia, which means you can use it at any store that accepts MasterCard.

Two features make the Woolworths credit card stand out among other store cards.

- Cardholders may use the supermarket's checkout to verify their available credit balance and make payments to their account.

- The credit card features an automatic payment facility (called "epump") for petrol purchases. Pumps at petrol stations have a card reader that picks up signals from a small transmitter built in the card. The transaction is completed automatically, including applicable discounts on the purchase.

Standard interest rate on purchases is 18.99% (starting 1 Feb 2009), with a 55-day interest-free period. Cash advances, however, will attract 21.99% interest, and balances transfers are at 5.99%. An annual fee of $49 is currently waived for the first year you hold the card.

The Woolworths Everyday Money reward program gives 1 point per dollar spent in other stores, 2 points for spending in Woolworths stores, and 3 points for Woolworths Select products.

However, some cardholders may find one policy restrictive. Rewards are delivered through shopping vouchers which can be spent only at stores in the Woolworths group. Also, the vouchers are automatically issued every 4 months with an expiry of 3 months from issue date. Consumers may find that too limiting — and could forget the expiry dates.

Coles Myer Source Card

The Coles Group includes Coles, Target and Kmart stores under its umbrella. Holders of a Coles Myer Source Card can earn special discounts and offers at these stores as well as spending in any other Mastercard accepting retailer.

One special benefit from this credit card is the chance to save up to 8 cents per litre on your petrol purchases. You get a 4 cent/litre voucher when you spend at least $30 on your card anywhere, plus another 4 cent/litre voucher for minimum $30 spent at certain outlets (Coles, BI-LO, Liquorland). The fuel saver vouchers may be redeemed at Coles Express petrol stations. Note well that the vouchers are valid for only a limited time.

The Coles Myer Source Card (also called Coles Group Source Card) does not charge any annual fee and offer a 62-day interest-free period on purchases. If you have a FlyBuys membership card, you may also earn FlyBuy points on purchases at Coles Group stores.

You can also participate in special promotions with up to 48 months of interest-free purchases on particular items at their stores. But you must be careful to pay your monthly bill in full and on time; otherwise all these benefits will be for nought.

The standard interest rate is 20.25%, which is quite high. Failure to pay in full will trigger that rate and your balance will quickly build up. You wouldn't want that to happen. For the banks, it's all about benchmark lending.

Extra mortgage payments are payments that you make that are bigger in amount than regular mortgage loan payments.

Home increased mortgage loan payments

Increased mortgage loan payments are payments that are your regular mortgage loan payments increased by a certain amount. How increased they can be, and the number of times you can make increased mortgage loan payments during your mortgage loan term will depend on what your lender will allow.

Home double-up mortgage loan payments

Double-up mortgage loan payments are payments that are your regular mortgage loan payments exactly doubled. The number of times you can make double-up mortgage loan payments during your mortgage loan term will depend on what your lender will allow.

When you pay off your mortgage loan faster with double-up mortgage loan payments, you can own your home or multi-residential real estate sooner and quit making mortgage loan payments sooner. You can also begin to make pure profit from renting out your mortgage loan-free home real estate.

College Credit Ain't Easy

Looking through recent articles about college students, I keep seeing the same basic suggestions: minimize loans, don't get a credit card, pay your bills, and keep track of your spending. While these are certainly useful little tidbits of advice, they don't really address the largest problem of people already in debt.

The smartest thing to do is obviously stop digging into your credit but the next best thing is to shop for a low or 0% interest credit card and transfer your existing balances.

Bad Credit Loans – Loans for People Who Can’t Get Loans Elsewhere Friday, December 19, 2008

You run here and there, only to find out that the bad credit ratings you have are a hindrance to avail loan. What to do in such cases? Is there any hope? Yes, there is. You can easily get bad credit loans on the internet.


Loan companies won’t say anything if you tell them that your credit record is not good. In fact, they won’t care for your credit rating unless it is exceptionally black marked. The credit checking factor is not a formal part of loan approval process in such companies. But this does not mean that you can submit false information. You can get help anytime, anywhere, provided you provide the true information while filing up the form.


Lending companies believe in transparency and hence wont care about your past records. They check out your current income and repayment capability. Once done, the amount that can be lent to you under bad credit loans is fixed. It can be anything from 500 pounds to 5000 pounds. You are informed about it on phone or whatever method you select during filling up the application form. You can also discuss the repayment tenure and as soon as both parties: you as the borrower, and the company, as the lender, agree on the tenure, the money is transferred to your checking account.


Bad credit loans are a good way to improve your credit ratings. I forgot to mention here that you can avail both secured and unsecured loans under this scheme. Whatever type of loan you take, you need to calculate your monthly installment so that you can pay it on time. Once you start paying your installments on or before the specified date, your credit rating automatically improves. Don’t just believe me by reading this.

Loans to Overcome Bad Credit Wednesday, December 17, 2008

Having Bad Credit can be stressful, especially if you need financing and you can not get it due to stains in your credit history and a low credit score. There are however, loans specially tailored for those with bad credit that amazingly can help you overcome bad credit as the timely payment of your loan get recorded into your credit report.


You do not need to suffer bad credit all your life, you can improve your situation by improving your credit history as this will raise your credit score. In order to do so, you can apply for a bad credit loan and repay it in several installments. Each payment will put you one step closer to a good credit rank while at the same time you get financing for whatever purpose you can think of.


Overcoming Bad Credit


It may sound strange that in order to solve credit difficulties caused by debt problems you can use a loan, but truth is that the timely payments of a loan get recorded into your credit report and with each one, your credit score will rise. Eventually, when your loan is fully repaid, you will be able to get finance on better terms and repeat the process. Within a short period of time, you will be able to reach a good credit score.


However, it is not easy to obtain a loan with bad credit and that is when bad credit loans come in handy. You can easily get approved for a bad credit loan even if you have a poor credit score and thus, since approval is almost guaranteed, you can achieve the results explained above when you finish repaying your bad credit loan. The next time, you may not need to resort to bad credit loans because your credit will have improved.


What Is The Cost?


What is clear is that nothing comes at no cost. And in order to use bad credit loans to improve your credit, there is a lot of sacrifice to be made. For starters, you will need to free enough income to be able to afford the monthly payments of your loan. Usually lenders will require that the loan installments do not exceed 40% of your available income. And though this requirements is sometimes flexible, it rarely reaches above 60%


But more importantly, in order to get financing for bad credit and be able to increase your credit score, you will have to face high interest rates and fees. Bad credit loans always charge significantly higher interest rates than regular loans only exceeded by pay day loans, cash advance loans and certain credit cards and store cards.


Thus, unless you can offer some kind of collateral or a co-signer, you will have to face higher costs in terms of interests to obtain financing with bad credit. Secured loans carry lower rates regardless of your credit because the risk is reduced by the asset guaranteeing the loan repayments and thus, the lender has no need to compensate the risk with such higher interest rates.


A co-signer is also a personal guarantor of repayment. In case the main borrower does not meet the monthly payments of the loan, the co-signer is also obliged to repay the loan and thus, will have to take charge of the loan repayment or his own credit score would be affected. This is due to the fact that the lender will report a delinquency not only naming the main borrower but the co-signer too.

Those who have their own property can go for the secured loans. You would get to enjoy several benefits which are like lower interest rate, large amount and longer repayment term. Thus, these will be ideal for expensive and longer educational programs.

Those who cannot offer anything as collateral will find good support in the unsecured loans. This is because no security is required here. The rate of interest in it may be a bit higher but otherwise the loan amount is quite helpful for affording education. If you want to avoid these high interest rates, then you can adopt other loans.
