How to Get Your Credit Reports for Free

Ellen Martin November-24-2011 No Comments »

The first step in assessing your personal finances is to obtain a copy of your credit report. Your credit report will provide several key pieces of information that will help you develop a clear picture of your financial condition. A credit report tells you: (1) who you owe; (2) how much you owe; and (3) whether you have missed payments to creditors.

Your credit report states the name and address of your creditors. This is the same information that you are required to provide should you decide to file bankruptcy. Often a creditor statement can be vague about where to send notices or correspondence. The information on your credit report is supplied by the creditor, and is presumptively correct.

Your credit report shows the total balance of your debt and the monthly payment. This information is also provided by the creditor to the credit reporting bureau. This information may or may not be correct, but it is a good estimate if you are unsure about what you owe.

Finally, your credit report contains information about payments and missed payments.

“Super Committee” Misses Deficit Reduction Agreement Deadline

Solidan Arim November-24-2011 No Comments »

After three months of waiting and the creation of the congressional Super Committee, made up of six democrats and six republicans, the Super Committee and Congress could not come up with a deficit reduction agreement of 1.2 trillion in spending cuts and possible tax increases by the November 23 deadline.

What Does This Mean for Taxpayers?

Tax implications of the decision remains uncertain at this point.  What is certain are automatic budget cuts of 1.2 trillion, will commence in the beginning of 2013, unless Congress and the Super Committee can agree on a bipartisan plan before January 2013.

The last resort, mandatory reductions, will cut evenly from both domestic and defense programs.  The automatic Budget Control Act, passed in August, already mandated $450 billion in defense spending cuts over 10 years.

We also know that the credit rating agency, Standard and Poors issued a statement, that failure to reach an agreement would not downgrade the United States credit rating as long as the automatic spending cuts remained in place.

We will continue to update you on tax implications of the automatic budget cuts. W

How to view credit reports?

Admin November-23-2011 No Comments »

If one has ever been sanctioned with a loan, a credit card or a line of credit, one will have a credit report on records of the credit bureau. Credit bureaus maintain and store information regarding one’s repayment and borrowing habits in a complete credit report. This report may includes information like personal identification, one’ credit history, public data with an effect on one’s credit and the list of authorities one has authorized to check credit report. The motto of this report is to create an objective and standardized credit rating for one. The credit rating is a method of evaluating how reliable one is while it matters to repaying one’s debts.

FCRA or the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ensures that every consumer of U.S. is entitled to free credit reports every year. The purpose behind this objective is to ensure that client can view credit reports to remain informed, get fair treatment and fight identity theft. Previou Read more…

Bankruptcy Loans – Still Possible with No Credit

Ronald Groovy November-21-2011 No Comments »

Filing bankruptcy doesn’t mean that you can never have credit again. As a matter of fact, the point of filing bankruptcy in the first place is to help people who have made disastrous financial decisions in the past, learn from their mistakes and move on.

Bankruptcy loans are a great way to help you re-establish your credit and buy important items such as a home.

There are two types of bankruptcy loans:

-Debt consolidation loan.

-Post-bankruptcy loan.

While the debt consolidation loan may help those who have filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy pay off their creditors and begin to re-establish their credit earlier than making monthly payments according to their bankruptcy schedule, it can be a recipe for disaster for those who have failed to learn how to budget their money properly and stick to a budget by piling on even more debt to their overburdened financial situation.

The more common bankruptcy loan is the post-bankruptcy type of financing. Read more…

4 Pros and 4 Cons of Settling a Second Mortgage for Las Vegas Residents

Ellen Martin November-17-2011 No Comments »

It’s common for people considering filing a Las Vegas bankruptcy to have a second mortgage on their homes when the first one is already underwater; in other words, they owe more on their first mortgages than their houses are worth, leaving zero equity in their second mortgages or home equity lines of credit. They have many options for how to handle this situation, including discharging it in bankruptcy. Here are the pros and cons of settling an underwater second mortgage.

Pros:

  1. If you are delinquent on payments the creditor knows you are in trouble. If that’s the case, then it knows that you have options that will allow it to make nothing, e.g. going into foreclosure or filing bankruptcy. Consequently, the lender may be quite happy to receive ten to fifteen cents on the dollar rather than lose everything.
  2. If your financial situation is precarious but not so much that you will be forced into bankruptcy, then you can use the threat of bankruptcy as leverage in negotiations with the second creditor. The

Managing Your Finances on Your Phone

Solidan Arim November-15-2011 No Comments »

Until recently it had been far too easy to fall in the trap of relying on a not-so-keen sense of frugality to keep your expenditures in orderespecially while out and about. Was it just last week that you bought that new TV you had to have because it was on sale? Did your buddy Ted already pay you back for that one time you covered his dinner because he forgot his wallet at home? Maybe youve got a few hundred dollars to go before you hit your spending limit, right?

We all know how those stories end. You end up missing payments, dealing with overdraft fees or penalties, and falling into debt. Okay maybe thats an overstatementbut it can happen often enough that it remains a very real worry.

Thankfully the proliferation of smartphones has given consumers a very useful tool for keeping finances in line. Because of the vast popularity of both the iPhone and Android, most major banking, credit card, and otherwise money-related companies have apps available for one or both platforms.

Did I Reaffirm my Mortgage Debt in My Bankruptcy?

Ronald Groovy November-15-2011 No Comments »

In addition to consumer bankruptcy, my firm does a lot of non-bankruptcy debt relief work for Michigan consumers, some of whom have already filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy with other law firms. Largely, these clients are attempting to save a home through a mortgage modification or other non-bankruptcy negotiation. The first question we have for these clients is: did you reaffirm your mortgage note obligation in your bankruptcy?

A reaffirmation agreement, as I have written about many times before on this blog, is an agreement that is struck during a bankruptcy process between the filing debtor and one of his or her creditors. The reaffirmation agreement must be signed by you (the debtor), your bankruptcy attorney if there is not what is called “undue hardship” (no or negative income left over at the end of the month after your basic household expenses are deducted from your monthly average income as listed on the bankruptcy petition), and the creditor.

Foreclosure rate doubled from last year

Ronald Groovy November-10-2011 No Comments »

According to the latest data from Fitch Ratings, foreclosures are almost two times as high as they were at the same time last year.

The agency uses Residential Mortgage-Backed Security, or RMBS, Performance Metric.  Their most recent findings indicate that the rate of foreclosure on homes with delinquent mortgages has increased to 10 percent a month.

Officials say the apparent increase in foreclosures is related to last year’s discovery of problematic procedures in the foreclosure industry like “robo-signing” and the subsequent delay in many foreclosure proceedings.

Experts predict that home prices in the U.S. will drop by about 10 percent in the months to come.
