			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/>HSH.com Weekly Mortgage Rate Radar: 2012 Kicks Off With Low Rates, More Fed Guidance &#13;        &#13;      &#13;    &#13;    &#13;          &#13;        &#13;    &#13;    &#13;    &#13;    &#13;        &#13;                  &#13;
<p class="releaseDateline">Foster City, CA (PRWEB) January 04, 2012 </p>
<p> Rates on the most popular types of mortgages increased slightly, according to HSH.com&#8217;s Weekly Mortgage Rate Radar. The average rate for conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgages rose by a single basis point (.01 percent) to 4.07 percent. Conforming 5/1 hybrid ARM rates increased by 2 basis points, folding the Wednesday-to-Tuesday wraparound weekly survey at a mean of 3.02 percent.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s often little movement in rates during the holidays,&#8221; said Keith Gumbinger, vice president of HSH.com. &#8220;Markets will start to return to normal levels of activity over the next couple of days, and that should set the tone as we move deeper into January.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>The Federal Reserve announced on Tuesday the intention to begin providing quarterly projections of the likely direction of future interest rates. &#8220;This important change to the Fed&#8217;s communication strategy will help to provide a better sense of when interest rates can be expected to begin rising,&#8221; said Gumbinger. &#8220;The Fed’s current timeline is to consider raising rates starting in mid-2013, but rates may not rise until possibly even later than that.”</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>However, Gumbinger noted that mortgage borrowers should not rely on projections of the federal funds rate to set expectations about mortgage rates. “For this year at least, short-term rates should remain at or near record lows, but fixed mortgage rates don&#8217;t follow short-term rates very closely,” he said. Mortgage rate projections for the coming year can be found at HSH.com’s expectations for mortgage rates and housing markets for 2012, which was also released Tuesday.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Average mortgage rates and points for conforming residential mortgages for the week ending January 3 were, according to HSH.com:</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgage&#13;</p>
<p>     Average rate:   4.07 percent&#13;     Average points: .25
<p>Conforming 5/1 ARM&#13;</p>
<p>    Average rate:   3.02 percent&#13;     Average points: .21
<p>Average mortgage rates and points for conforming residential mortgages for the previous week ending December 27 were, according to HSH.com:</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgage&#13;</p>
<p>    Average rate: 4.06 percent&#13;     Average points: .27
<p>Conforming 5/1 ARM&#13;</p>
<p>    Average rate: 3.00 percent&#13;     Average points: .23
<p>Methodology&#13;<br />The Weekly Mortgage Rate Radar reports the average rates and points offered on conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and conforming 5/1 ARMs. The weekly mortgage rate survey covers a large sample of mortgage lenders and is conducted over a Wednesday-to-Tuesday cycle, with data released every Wednesday. HSH.com’s survey helps consumers find the best rates on home loans in changed market conditions. Unlike mortgage rate surveys that report totalled rates only, the Weekly Mortgage Rate Radar’s inclusion of both average rates and average points rendering a more accurate view of mortgage terms currently offered by lenders.</p>
<p>&#13;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/><strong><i>Question by Kristy R</i>: How can you fix bad credit, can you wait it out until it disappears off your credit report?</strong><br/>I&#8217;ve heard bad stuff goes off  your credit report after 7 years, so can you wait it out and have decent credit again after 7 years?  Anyone know how that works or what to do to fix it?<br/><br/><strong>Best answer:</strong><br/>
<p><i>Answer by scorpiomaj27</i><br/>I thought the 7 year rule was for bankruptcy, it takes 7 years for that note on your credit to disappear.  You can actually repair bad credit in a matter of months if you have some form of credit that you can keep up with.  If you have 1 credit card and a terrible rating, that&#8217;s all you need &#8211; pay the card down to $  20 and charge a new $  20 each month and pay $  20 each month.  The problem is if you close totally your cards, then you have no way to rebuild.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/><strong><i>Question by love_earth22</i>: How do I fix my credit and make sure my unpaid debt is taken off of my credit report?</strong><br/>I am getting sick of my bad imputing ruining everything I try to do. At this point I am finally able to pay off my debt in order to fix this problem. I have heard stories of populating paying off their debt but the accompanying leaving them as unpaid on their credit report. I DONT want this to happen. How do I go about paying everything off while making sure it is taken off my credit report for good? How long does it take your score to change after you paid everything off?<br/><br/><strong>Best answer:</strong><br/>
<p><i>Answer by bdancer222</i><br/>Paying off old debt will not improve your score.  The burnt is already done and the derogatory item will remain on your credit report for the balance of the 7 year reported period, whether paid or not.  However, creditors do look at your completely report, not just your score.  Paid old debt looks better than unpaid.With this in object you should try to settle for as little as you can.  If the debt is concluded 3 years old, offer 25%; 2 or 3 years old, offer 50%; less than 2, offer 75%.  Lump sum gets the best deals.  Payment plans must be short term.  Get any settlement agreement in writing and keep it along with your payment proof, forever.  Do not give collectors direct access to your bank account.If whatsoever of the derogatory items are single entry items like medical and utility charge, negotiate a pay for delete &#8212; you pay $  x and they remove the item.  This will help your score.  But it doesn&#8217;t served for regularly reported items like credit cards and installment loans.  The collection agency can&#8217;t remove what the original creditor reported.After you get every thing cleared up, you will need at least 24 months of consistent, on time payment history to see improvement in your score.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/>Economy, Politics Among Credit Professionals’ Top 2012 Concerns &#13;        &#13;      &#13;    &#13;    &#13;          &#13;        &#13;    &#13;    &#13;    &#13;    &#13;        &#13;                  &#13;                  &#13;
<p class="releaseDateline">Columbia, MD (PRWEB) December 14, 2011 </p>
<p> Credit professionals still consider the economy to be their biggest concern for the coming year, according to an annual survey conducted by NACM. For the third straight year, when asked “Looking forward to 2012, as a credit professional, what are your biggest concerns?” the largest percentage (26.7%) of the nearly 1,000 participants chose “lingering uncertainties about the still-sluggish economic recovery.” The result was expected, as credit professionals continue to face stagnant business conditions along with an increase in bankruptcy filings, preference actions and customer difficulties.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>The top concerns garnering the majority of survey responses included: &#13;</p>
<p>&#13;  Lingering uncertainties about the still sluggish economic recovery (26.7%)&#13;  Slow payment, delinquencies and general customer creditworthiness (19%)&#13;  Job security, the future of career, or ensuring that salary keeps pace with cost of living (11.7%)
<p>New to this edition of NACM’s annual survey of credit professionals was a deep sense of pessimism tied to the fact that 2012 will be an election year. Just over 11% of respondents listed “election-year politics, and the elections themselves, and their effect on economic growth” as one of their chief concerns for the coming year, and many participants took the opportunity to lament the current state, and future, of American politics in the survey’s comment section.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>“The total gridlock of the federal government has the potential to take our, and the world&#8217;s, economies down. We are on the brink of that happening now and I don&#8217;t think it would act much to force us over the edge,” said one respondent. “Politics as usual must come to a halting. Somehow, a spirit of agree must happen so we can fix the economy and put populate back to work. It is my perception that even if people have jobs and can afford to buy, they aren&#8217;t spending because of the pervasive negativity and uncertainty around the world.”</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>As bad as things currently appear on Capitol Hill, many appraise participants noted that they only expected things to deteriorate farther as the 2012 run season ramps up. “I think there will be way too much concern and feelings of uncertainty over the presidential race next November,” they said. “Instead of political parties working together on solutions for economic recovery, I&#8217;m afraid too much [attention] will be paid to whose party will win.”</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>“Our leaders aren’t focusing on fixing the problems,” one respondent summarized.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>While some participants suggested that political gridlock is causing the nation’s economic turmoil, others noted that it’s merely exasperating what’s already a bad situation. “I’m concerned that the customers who have struggled to hold on won’t be able to endured much longer,” said one respondent. “This, conjugate with the nonsense we deal with from the feds and the pending election…is making things that much more unpredictable.”</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Ultimately, this translates to what credit professionals believe will be a protracted economic slump. “I don’t see things improving until possibly the first of 2013, if at all,” state one participant. “This could be a long downturn.” </p>

<p class="releaseDateline">(Vocus/PRWEB) March 01, 2011 </p>
<p> The National Mortgage Complaint Center is saying, &#8220;The US mortgage system is broken, it needlessly wastes the consumer&#8217;s money, it gouges the consumer with schemes like title insurance costs, or lacks transparency with respect to kickbacks such as the afford spread premium, and it really is time for a revolutionary change in the mortgage world.&#8221; They say, &#8220;Most consumers have never heard of a give spread premium kickback mortgage brokers have to disclose, or are supposed to disclose, but banks have no such requirement, even though they get the very same kickback.&#8221; The group is saying, &#8220;Most current US homeowners have no clue they are paying a high monthly mortgage payment because of the give spread premium kickback scheme&#8211;but they are. We are simply saying it&#8217;s time for a change. The future of the mortgage industry is a flat fee approach regardless if the home costs $  100,000, or $  500,000&#8211;not this nonsense we have today.&#8221; http://NationalMortgageComplaintCenter.Com</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>But the Federal Government will fix the US mortgage mess when it comes to financing, or refinancing a home, right? The National Mortgage Complaint Center says, &#8220;We have lost all faith in the federal government&#8217;s ability to protect consumers in the mortgage process. Had the US Department of Housing &amp; Urban Development, or the US Congress been on top of things in 2003 or 2004, we probably would not have the current US real estate disaster. Tragically they were all asleep at the switch, and with the federal government&#8217;s or Congress&#8217;s recent mortgage transparency attempts like the new Good Faith Estimate, it appears to us they are all still asleep at the switch, or worse yet, bought and paid for by the banking, mortgage banking or title insurance industry&#8217;s special interest groups.&#8221; http://NationalMortgageComplaintCenter.Com</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>So how would the new flat fee mortgage process work? The National Mortgage Complaint Center says, &#8220;Initially the flat fee mortgage fee service would be designed to service borrowers who have very good credit, with FICO scores of 740+. There would be a flat fee that would cover everything including loan origination fee, credit report, appraisal fee, processing, tax certification, and flood certification, all bundled into one fee, say $  2500 to $  3000, regardless if the home costs $  100,000 or $  500,000. This would save the typical borrower $  1000&#8242;s.&#8221; They say next, &#8220;We would propose a completely brand new national title insurance company that would offer rates perhaps as low as one-third of what they are now&#8211;perhaps even closer to one-quarter of what they are nowadays, there literally is that much profit in title insurance.&#8221; The group says, &#8220;and finally we would have escrow hubs in each state, that do nothing more than prepare documenting for closing, and disburse funds to sellers, mortgage holders, etc. All closings would be done by mobile notaries that come to the borrower&#8217;s housing for closing.&#8221; http://NationalMortgageComplaintCenter.Com</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>The National Mortgage Complaint Center says, &#8220;There is an old saying&#8211;build a better mouse trap and people will line up to get it. The flat fee, bundled mortgage service is the future for US high credit rated mortgage and equity-driven originations. Why is the cost of doing a $  500,000 mortgage greater than a $  150,000 mortgage cost when the same amount of work is done in each transaction?&#8221; They say, &#8220;The flat fee, bundled mortgage service is not only the future, it instantly makes all major US banks or existing title insurance companies obsolete, and they would be instantly forced to change or face extinction.&#8221; The group says, &#8220;The win for the consumer would be obvious&#8211;instead of paying $  6000 to $  10,000 for a mortgage directly or indirectly, they would be paying close to half of this amount, and because the service has a flat fee, the service would be designed to get the borrower the lowest possible rate. The flat fee mortgage service would make its profits from volume, as opposed to gouging every consumer as much as possible.&#8221; http://NationalMortgageComplaintCenter.Com</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Ever hear of a Service Release Premium? The National Mortgage Complaint Center says, &#8220;A SRP, or Service Release Premium, is the amount an investor will pay a bank or mortgage banker for your loan. It&#8217;s rarely, if ever, disclosed to the borrower.&#8221; They say, &#8220;In the flat fee concept, the SRP will be included and disclosed to the consumer up front. It can range between $  1000 to $  3000 depending on the loan amount and the quality of the borrower.&#8221; The group says, &#8220;The US Mortgage System is blemished, it is inefficient, it needlessly gouges consumers, it really is time for a change. So who wants to be the next Bill Gates?&#8221; http://NationalMortgageComplaintCenter.Com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/>Over 55s an Average £30 per Month Worse Off Due To Rising Prices since September &#13;        &#13;      &#13;    &#13;    &#13;          &#13;        &#13;    &#13;    &#13;    &#13;    &#13;        &#13;
<p class="releaseDateline">(PRWeb UK) March 4, 2011 </p>
<p> Latest figures exhibit the gap between the price rises experienced and headline RPI1 nowadays costs a mean over 55 year previous £907.202 a year, which is a £303 rise in the monthly cost of living since September 2010. </p>
<p>&#13;
<p> Age band        % difference between Silver RPI and            Average cost of gap between Silver RPI and &#13;<br />                          headline RPI since January 2008                  headline inflation per year since January 2008</p>
<p>&#13;
<p> 55-59                                   3.4%                                                 £904&#13;<br /> 60-64                                   4.2%                                                £1,015&#13;<br /> 65-69                                   4.9%                                                £1,038&#13;<br /> 70-74                                 5.3%                                                  £925&#13;<br /> 75+                                   4.9%                                                 £654&#13;<br /> Average over 55                   5.%                                                 £907.20</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>The Silver RPI is published to coincide with the Bank of England Quarterly Inflation Report in February 2011 and shows that the gap between costs for those in later life and the general population has widened. This is due to the continued impact of low mortgage interest rates which have less effect on those in later life as they are less likely to carry mortgage debt, and in the last quarter, cost increases in products and services such as energy and food that over 55s spend proportionally more on.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>The Silver RPI shows that between September 2010 and January 2011 the price of energy for the over 55s has increased by 6. percent. Energy now accounts for on average 3.6 percent of expenditure for those between 55 and 59 years old, almost doubling to 7.1 percent for those over 75, compared to 4% in the general population.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Age UK Enterprises, recognising the impact of rising energy prices on those in later life, is committed to helping customers manage their costs. While the sector as a whole has passed on price rises due to wholesale price increase, Age UK Enterprises in conjunction with E.ON delayed a six percent increase5 until April 2011 for Age UK Energy customers, when the worst of the cold weather will be over, and has fixed prices for new customers until April 20136. In addition, every year each Age UK Energy gas or dual fuel customer receives a guaranteed additional cold weather payment from E.ON, supplementary to the Government’s Winter Fuel and Cold Weather Payments, and an additional payment for every day when the temperature drops below freezing7. </p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Commenting on the findings, Gordon Morris, Managing Director, Age UK Enterprises said: “The latest Silver RPI demonstrates the shocking impact of rising prices on over 55s who are now more than £907.20 a year worse off than official inflation measures estimate.  There is a widening gap between the inflation experienced by the general population and those in later life, and this worsens with age. A typical 70-74 year old now experiences ‘real’ price rises at 5.3 percent above headline RPI figures.” </p>
<p>&#13;
<p>He continued: “The rise in everyday costs is in part due to over 55s spending proportionally more on products and services, such as utilities, that have increased rapidly in price in the last quarter. We believe the financial services industry has to do more to help consumers in later life manage their costs. This is why E.ON provided its Age UK Energy customers with over £4 million in Cold Weather Payments in 2010 and has created a fixed Energy price option for new customers until 2013.”</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Erik Britton from Fathom Consulting said: “The Silver RPI shows that inflation has been far higher over the last few years for those over 55 than for the general population. Inflation effects are not homogeneous, and measuring those differences helps those in later life plan for their financial future by taking them into account.”</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>The Silver RPI was developed by Age UK Enterprises in partnership with former Bank of England inflation specialists, Fathom Consulting, and is the most complete measure of cost increases in later life. It uses information from the Living Costs and Food Survey (LCF) to re-weight the 78 items that make up the official RPI and better reflect the expenditure patterns of over 55s. The measure is the first to consider inflation at five year age bands above 55 years of age and unlike existing ONS pensioner measures it includes all housing costs and households at all income bands. The Silver RPI launched in November 2010 and is updated quarterly, with the methodology adjusted for the February report to include more up to date information on expenditure patterns. To reflect this, the weight attached to utility bills was increased, and consequently an increased estimate of the total price rises experienced by those in later life since January 2008.</p>

<p>&#13;
<p>1 Headline RPI for over 55s is 5.1% (ONS: January 2011)&#13;<br />2 The additional costs faced by older consumers is calculated by multiplying the difference in percentage change in prices faced by each age band and that faced by the population as a whole since January 2008. This is then multiplied by the average weekly expenditure for that age band and finally multiplied by the number of weeks in a year (52) to establish the annual cost of these extra price rises. &#13;<br />3 Calculated by applying the average increase in pricing since September 2010 experienced by those aged over 55 (1.95%) to the monthly cost of the RPI basket to those aging over 55 in 2008 (£1710.61).&#13;<br />4 Average headline RPI rates: 2008 &#8211; 4.3%, 2009 &#8211; -.78%, 2010 – 4.6%&#13;<br />5 Just under 6% for dual fuel customers and 9% for electricity and 3% for gas customers&#13;<br />6 For those new customers signing up to Age UK Price Protection April 2013 tariff&#13;<br />7 Age UK customers aged 60 or over receive extra payment for every day between December and February that the temperature falls below freezing.  The temperature is taken from the Pickering Weather Station in North Yorkshire, one of the coldest places in the UK</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/>RE/MAX Agents Report that Buyers Face New Challenges – and Opportunities – When Applying for Mortgages &#13;        &#13;      &#13;    &#13;    &#13;          &#13;        &#13;    &#13;    &#13;    &#13;    &#13;        &#13;                  &#13;
<p class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) December 05, 2011 </p>
<p> In a recent study of RE/MAX agents in northern Illinois, agents reported that although this remains a great time to buy a home due to ample inventory and mortgage interest rates at a historic low-toned, earning approval for mortgage financing has become a longer and more difficult task. </p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Mortgage interest rates in tardy November hovered near historical lows, with Freddie Mac describing that the interest rate for a 30-year bushelled-rate mortgage stood at 4 percent while the rate for 15-year repaired-rate mortgages played 3.31 percent.  At the same time, homeowners are uncoerced to negotiate on everything from terminal sales prices to closing dates and repairs.  This means that buyers can anticipate to pay less for single-family homes and condominiums today, yet those in premier locations throughout northerly Illinois.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>But there&#8217;s one challenge that buyers face today: Earning approval for bonding financing.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>&#8220;It used to be that if you could breathe and had a pulse you could buy a home,&#8221; said Sharon Esslinger, managing broker/owner of RE/MAX Country Crossroads in Viola. &#8220;That is no longer the case. Things are tighter, more rigid, today. Getting a loan today requires more patience.”</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>The good news is that the most negative rumors aren&#8217;t true: Mortgage lenders are, in fact, continuing to lend money to qualified buyers. And those buyers worried about credit and down payment requirements also have a solid option in FHA financing, which has steadily become a more popular option among borrowers. But it is true that qualifying for a mortgage loan is more of a challenge today than it was during the height of the housing boom.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>RE/MAX agents in Illinois say that buyers today must be prepared for this new lending reality. Buyers with good credit, solid debt-to-income ratios and the documents to support their income claims will still be able to find favorable mortgage loans, and they’ll find them at historically low interest rates. Buyers just have to be patient and expect to provide a lot of paperwork before closing their loans.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>&#8220;This really isn&#8217;t new. Getting a loan was never a slam dunk back in the pre-boom days,&#8221; said Mark Zipperer, broker/owner of RE/MAX Edge in Chicago. &#8220;You victimised to be nervous about taking out a loan. You did whatever you needed to do because you were asking for someone else&#8217;s money. You made sure your finances were in order, you paid down your credit-teased debt, you socked away some money and were ready to go. During the dinning, all that planning went away. During the boom we joked that we could write a mortgage application for your pet and the lenders would close on it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Today, buyers hoping to qualify for mortgage financing at low interest rates must first have a substantial credit score. Most conventional lenders today reserve their best rates for borrowers with credit scores of 740 or higher on the popular FICO credit-scoring scale.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Buyers must also have low credit-card debt and income levels that are not only eminent enough to cover their monthly mortgage costs comfortably, but that can also be documented with a paper trail. Most established lenders today want buyers&#8217; monthly debt &#8212; including their estimated mortgage payments &#8212; to be no more than 36 percent of their monthly income.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Susan Coveny, broker/owner of RE/MAX Prestige in the Chicago suburb of Long Grove, said that she tells her buyers today that they must be capable to document all of their recent significant financial transactions. For example, buyers who received a $  2,000 payment into their check accounts must be able to produce documentation showing that this payment is either an annual bonus check or a gift from their parents.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>&#8220;Today, we have to prepare our clients to have all of their financial paperwork in order,&#8221; Coveny said. &#8220;Clients need to make sure that everything is in perfect order. Lenders today want to make sure that buyers are living within their means. They want to make sure that they won&#8217;t overextend themselves by taking on a monthly mortgage payment.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>It&#8217;s also important for buyers to have financial reserves, Coveny said. </p>
<p>&#13;
<p>&#8220;Lenders want to make sure that if buyers lose their jobs, they&#8217;ll be able to make their mortgage payments for several months as they search for new employment,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Vicki Geiger, broker/owner of RE/MAX Top Properties in Morris, relies on the many relationships she has formed with mortgage lend officers during her long existent estate career to help her clients navigate the new mortgage reality. When her clients have questions about the mortgage-lending process, Geiger recommends one of the loan officers with whom she&#8217;s formed a relationship.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>This way, Geiger knows that her buyers will receive the best advice possible when it comes to what documentation, credit score and debt-to-income ratios they&#8217;ll need to qualify for a mortgage loan.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>&#8220;Resourcing is one of the most important benefits that real estate agents can provide to their clients,&#8221; Geiger said. &#8220;I know many excellent lenders. If my clients ask me legal questions; I&#8217;d refer them to a real estate attorney. If they have lending questions, I refer them to a knowledgeable loan officer.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Above all, RE/MAX professionals advise buyers today to be patient during the lending process. Mortgage loans do not close in two weeks. The underwriting process takes time. </p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Buyers should not be insulted when their lenders ask them for additional verification. Just ask Lynn Fairfield, broker associate with RE/MAX Suburban in Libertyville. </p>
<p>&#13;
<p>She recently worked with buyers who had gotten married in the middle of applying for a mortgage loan. These buyers received a significant amount of money for their wedding, and promptly deposited it into their bank account.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Their lender wanted proof that the money came from the wedding.  He asked for a copy of the couple&#8217;s wedding invitation.</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d never heard about anything like that before,&#8221; Fairfield say. &#8220;But that&#8217;s the way it is today. Borrowers need to be ready to verify everything.&#8221;</p>
