What Happens If I Don't Pay My Bills?

Sure it is a cliche, nonetheless, it bears repeating: “There’s the excessive month following my money. “

Not most people are a financial wizard and never most people are independently wealthy. Budgeting is difficult and surprises await those not ready with a three-month cushion of emergency cash.

Of course, some may think, “What’s the worst that could happen if I do not pay my bills?” The comprehensive response to that easy question is “Well, the treatment depends. “

It is inconvenient.

When looking at utilities, shut-offs are the first line of defense against non-payment. Very few people like to do without electricity, propane, water, etc. So usually getting them disconnect is incentive enough never to fall behind.

Taking days off to be home for re-connections isn’t just a pain in the neck, it puts overuse on work-life too. Gas companies generally are not going to re-establish service without someone being there, to be able to take necessary health concerns.

Eventually, the consumer will have to talk with someone about the failure to spend. Dealing with bill collectors is not just a hassle, it’s embarrassing. Collections agents are performing their job and never love exactly why there was failing to pay.

It is more expensive.

Almost any business working charges you late charges. Whether it is a percentage or even a flat rate, it winds up eating into the budget, making the next month tight on money also.

Payday Loans – The Right Tool?

Payday Loans - The Right Tool?

I am always intrigued by plumbers. I admit I’m not a handyman myself but I always felt that I was familiar enough with tools that I could take a look at one and immediately assess its value and usefulness. But whenever I have a crisis at home where I need to call a plumber, he invariably pops up with an all-new weird-looking tool that I never saw before. Sometimes I ask him the name of the tool but I cannot remember his answer because all I am considering is the place something so awkward could serve a helpful purpose. And more often than not, I am amazed when I note that the plumber knows just how to put the tool to utilize to ensure that my dreaded emergency gets solved!

Payday Lending

I seriously considered plumbers recently while I was reading a piece of writing in regards to the payday lending industry. There’s been a good debate occurring about payday cash advances and whether or not they are fantastic or evil. There are great arguments on both sides and looking at many of the advantages and disadvantages, it struck me that almost all the arguments I saw on both sides were valid. I did not disagree with one of the arguments themselves, simply with the conclusions. I began to realize that payday lending is neither good nor evil; it is merely an awkward-looking tool. If used the right way, it might solve the correct emergency. If not, then it might …

How to Obtain US Real Estate Financing For Foreigners

Recently, there has been a fall in real estate financing in the USA. Due to the economic turmoil and banks tightening their requirements, it has become harder to foreigners to obtain a loan.

HOW TO OBTAIN US REAL ESTATE FINANCING FOR FOREIGNERS

In fact, while cash deals have always been the most common way for non residents to purchase US real estate, it increased even more this past year due to the credit crunch in the market. Fortunately, lenders are slowly beginning to relax their requirements in tandem with the slow recovery of the economy.

If you are considering getting a loan for US real estate, here’s what the current process involves.

Amount Financed

Unlike loans offered to US residents, foreign investors are usually only allowed to finance 70%, or less, of a homes value. In addition to a sizeable down payment, interest rates and fees are also generally a little higher.

Property Usage

You’ll get better terms (more competitive rates and lower down payment) if your purchase is to be used as a second home rather than a rental property.

Property Ownership

Typically, banks are more receptive to lending to foreign individuals than to foreign corporations.

Credit Worthiness

Banks rely heavily on your credit history for US Real Estate Financing. Since many investors won’t have any history with US companies, it’s good to have at least 3 creditors from your own country that can provide proof of timely payments. Letters from institutions attesting to your credit worthiness may also be acceptable.

Asset Verification

This may not be required …
