"For example, if people have two earners in their household and one of them loses their job, we're working on a scheme with the banks where they would be able to reduce their mortgage payments for two years to get themselves through that difficult period," he said. Mr Purnell said that during previous recessions, support was cut and people were left to "sink or swim".

And you know what? When the creditor finally relents and drops the bad debit from your credit reports they are suppose to send you a 1099 or some such notice for the IRS and a notice advising you of the deletion but they do not always do this.
I had a number of spoiled credit cards from way back that were fraudulently opened under my name. I tried to have the bureaus remove them nope. There was no regulation or standard on how to deal with credit card fraud when the creditor refuses to accept their error. So I didn't pay one red cent. Having worked for 4 years at a VISA/MC credit card issuer I knew that eventually they would write off the debit and in 7 years the record would be removed. Well then Mr. Bush changed the rules a little stating that creditors no longer get endless shots at ruining your credit. IF they cannot collect in 7 years they completely lose their chance to collect from you at all. Creditors used to be able to reactive a bad debt should you pop up on the radar again - lord knows the credit card company I worked did it all the time.
About two years ago, I started receiving these strange notices from the original creditor not the agencies. 1099 and statements of I cannot remember the exact term basically stating that I owed nothing and that they had removed the bad debt from my credit report. About a week later I started receiving credit card solictations again.
I've got two more fraud credit cards that should have removed themselves from my report and should have sent IRS info but I've receive nada from those companies. I suspect that they are going to be the lone holdouts on resolving this matter. I've basically shut down my ability to obtain credit cards and CC companies abilities to send me unsolicited offers. And I learned while working at VISA/MC that credit cards truly are no good.

HR Block Inc., known affectionately within the trade as Hit and Run Block, has agreed to pay $4.85 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the California Attorney General’s Office over an allegedly deceptive tax refund advance program run by the company. Under the settlement, the tax preparer has agreed to stop offering high-cost loans marketed as early federal tax refunds. The settlement applies to customers who received so-called refund anticipation loans or checks from 2001 to 2007.

Now that the weather is cold (and rainy in Oregon), its the perfect time to save money with a soup night.   I like to schedule a soup night once a week, because its a great way to use up leftovers that might otherwise go bad in the back recesses of the refrigerator.
I keep a 2 cup container in the freezer, where I keep leftover veggies.  When the container is full, I know its time to make a big pot of soup.
To make a frugal soup from leftovers, start with about 5 cups of some kind of broth or soup base (beef, chicken, tomato, etc.).
Add a cup of protein, such as beans, beef, or chicken.
Add a cup of rice or pasta, a cup of vegetables, and season with your favorite spices.
Throw it all in a slow cooker and cook on low all day.
At dinnertime add some bread (I like homemade) and maybe a salad, and you have an easy, frugal meal.  And your leftovers wont be wasted.

As Action News reporter Gabe Osterhout tells us, New York wants to make sure you understand understand the costs of refund anticipation loans.
New York State wants to protect people in line for an income tax refund.
Tax preparers must now give you a copy of a new consumer bill of rights.
It's a list that tells a customer exactly what to expect when filing their tax returns.
Wendy Loomis says one of the most important sections deals with Refund Anticipation Loans.
"What these refund loans are and what they can't be anymore is advertised as a loan against your refund," Loomis said. "It is simply a loan and you're responsible to repay that loan even if you don't get enough in your refund to do it."
Loomis says many times people are in a hurry to get their refund.
They may sign up for a loan offered by their tax preparer without knowing the true cost.
She says the loans usually come with high interest rates and administrative fees that may add up to more than the refund itself.
The bill of rights now requires tax preparers to put all of that information in writing.
"We're trying to protect the consumer," Loomis said. " This is a very vulnerable time in people's life, especially now with the economy the way it is, people need every penny they get back in their refund."
Loomis says the best way to get your full refund fast is to electronically file your return.
Have your refund directly deposited into your bank account.
She says it may take slightly longer than getting a refund anticipation loan, but it will also save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.
The New York Consumer Bill of Rights for Tax Preparers went into affect on January 1st.
Loomis says it takes as little as 10 days to get a refund through e-filing with direct deposit.
It could as little as 14 days to get your check by mail.

Most of those services fail on more than one front. Even if they have decent interface (zoocasa) or aggregate various feeds (housing123 before realtors shut it down), they are simply inadequate. A decent solution must include asoild interface AND critical mass of listings. Even realtor.ca does not have all the listings avilable on the realtors' own intranet. Then there are multiple FSBO type sites, none with enough content to be of any use. And so the more persistent among us still have to go to a half a dozen (at least) places to look; others hire an agent.

Reader Question - Keep Emergency Fund Or Pay Off 0% Balance Transfer Credit Card? by My Two Dollars personally, I would pay off the debt, and then rebuild your emergency fund. It feels so good to see that balance dwindle, and you still have the cards if you need them in an emergency (though, only for an emergency). Since you won't have monthly payments on your cards, you can rebuild your emergency fund that much faster.

NORWALK

By STEVE KOBAK

Hour Staff Writer


State Sen. Bob Duff, D-25, joined Attorney General Richard Blumenthal Tuesday to propose legislation that restricts predatory debt reduction services that prey on unsuspecting consumers.

The legislation -- "An Act Concerning Foreclosure Rescue and Debt Reducers" -- requires debt reduction firms to clearly disclose information that explains their services and prohibits advance fees for debt reduction.

"Anytime there is economic uncertainty or crisis, these people come out of the woodwork to do harm to innocent people," said Duff. "We're seeing now that people may not be able to afford their mortgage, and scam artists will come out and promise things that are too good to be true."

According to Blumenthal, debt reducers are unregulated and often claim to offer services to rescue homeowners from foreclosure or severe debt.

In some cases, debt reducers deceive consumers into relinquishing their homes, turning homeowners into tenants. In other cases, consumers pay expensive advance fees to debt reducers that fail to provide promised relief. Often, consumers report that oral promises fail to translate into consumer contracts.

"Rescue predators pitch a variety of financial snake oil -- promises to stop foreclosures and save homes, reduce mortgages and erase credit card debt, eliminate back tax obligations and rehabilitate bad credit histories," Blumenthal said.

The attorney general said the new proposal would ban the "worst practices of these predators," including deceptive pitches, advance fees and exploitive contracts.

Blumenthal said his legislation would include provisions that require predatory debt reduction agencies to "describe in the contract the services to be provided and an analysis of the consumer's debt, including the likelihood that the debt can be reduced or foreclosure avoided."

The legislation would also authorize the Banking Commissioner to investigate and reduce debt reducer fees that are excessive when compared to common industry fees and in relation to the consumer's financial benefit of such services.

Blumenthal noted that debt reducers are separate and distinct from debt adjusters, which are regulated and actually collect consumer money and forward payments to debtors until the debts are paid off.

The legislation will be discussed in the Banking Committee of the state Senate within the next few weeks, according to Duff, who added the state offers mortgage reduction programs via the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority.

"I urge people to go through the state programs that we set up last year in our foreclosure-prevention bill instead of going to debt adjusters," he said.

The reason is that you don't have to deal with it. Amazon isn't magic and they use the same hardware available to everyone else. Sure, there's some scale involved when it comes to labor and power and bandwidth, but they can't undercut what you can do yourself.However, spraying files everywhere is a pain! MogileFS makes it a lot better, but you're still in charge of monitoring it and making sure it's healthy. With only two boxes, you have to be always on call so that you can order another box from your provider fast.Plus, there's the issue of multiple data centers. S3 doesn't just make redundant copies of your data. It makes copies across data centers. So, you're paying $0.10/GB for data in, but you don't have to pay for when it replicates copies into several data centers.You also have to realize that you have to pay for excess capacity anytime you're doing your own storage system. If you like to keep a 50% buffer (a reasonable size), you're going to be paying 1.5x the base cost of $0.10/GB that you've come up with.And then there's the issue of having to make sure you're monitoring it and that if you see a spike in storage usage you can add drives fast enough. . .You pay for a bit of convenience with S3. I'm not going to argue that it's cheaper, but it's definitely a lot less headache. Are you going to colo several boxes in different data centers, constantly monitor the storage, make sure that they serve the files properly, making sure that more copies get replicated if one server dies, replace drives as they fail, adding more servers as needed. . .If you're on a large scale, I'd say you should do your own storage because you can justify making that someone's job (or a large enough portion of their job). I'm not sure I agree with SmugMug using S3, but I'm not sure I disagree either - it allows them to concentrate on what they want to do. Remember, for every tech person on HN, there's 100 that will say they're doing backups and aren't (ok, maybe not true, but you have to find an employee to manage your storage who you trust as much as Amazon).However, most people don't have that much to store. If you're storing 100GB of data, you'd then be paying for multiple servers all with RAID and managing MogileFS or the like for what? 20% savings? $150/year? I'm as cheap as the next person, but I also like sleep. I don't want a pager calling me telling me that one of my two file stores is down and that I need to provision and configure a new box at 2am. And do you want to focus your time on creating a compelling product that your customers think is awesome or do you want to spend your time creating an awesome file store that works really well? Life has tradeoffs. You're not wrong, but I don't see Amazon as ripping people off with their pricing and I don't mind someone profiting from giving me a hassle-free, no-lock-in solution.EDIT: I personally think your estimate of buying boxes and colo'ing them is a tad low so my 20% might be your 50% and so it might make sense by your numbers more. Maybe I've just seen crappy colo offers. Link if you know good ones! I love being proved wrong.

Habitat for Humanity is an organization that has skilled leadership. Architects, Contractors and others who know the craft of home building are often paid and oversee their work. Habitat Homes arent really free either. In our community there is many hours of sweat equity each person must contribute on other homes to qualify for their home.
In my job, Ive been on the management end of building and construction projects for many years. Not knowing all the facts about this particular development, but what you have posted and commented on here Kevin, I would not be so harsh on the people living there. There are proper building materials and techniques to eliminate mold problems. With the homes being 5 years old or less, Its very likely someone did something intentional or neglected to do something that should have been done. Like installing a proper vapor barrier in the foundation, or wrapping the house in Tyvek and properly installing vents.
Habitat for Humanity I assume is listed as the General Contractor for these projects; they hold the responsibility to ensure it was done right. If it wasnt, for whatever reason, then what other recourse is there for the unsuspecting people often of limited means, and often limited education living there.

With the current financial crisis gripping the economy many people have tried to access financial help, but had little success. A causative factor in this mass rejection of loan applications is the state of the economy. The loans are basically being declined as a consequence of the credit crunch that the world is experiencing.
In the past, loan applications were hitting record numbers, but now the figures have reduced due to the tightening of application criteria. This has made the application of loans that are being turned down increase tenfold. Many people who ordinarily would have had some success with their loan applications are being declined.
Another issue in loan applicants being unsuccessful is people having poor credit. In the past simply having a poor credit rating would not affect money being given out by banks. This has since changed and people who have bad credit history have an unsuccessful chance of successfully getting a loan application granted.
So, what can people do to help them reduce their loans getting declined? A good starting poing could be to contact an authorised credit check agency. For a small sum you can get your previous credit history send to you and this will give you essential information in your past spending and this will help you shed light on your credit history.
If this seems like too much hassle, then something else you can do is consider how many times you have applied for loans and credit cards in the past. Many people who have applied many times subsequently get poor credit as a consequence. Multiple loan applications can have a negative impact on your credit rating.
Payday loan is an alternative to the formal credit check process of loan applications. You can simply apply for a payday loan and subsequently not have to go through the arduous process of your credit rating being checked over. Payday Loan companies usually allow you to obtain money, on the basis that when you are paid you can pay it off accordingly.

Every year my wife complains about how much money she spends hosting bunco! I see some of the bills and almost go into cardiac arrest myself. In a sluggish economy, everyone tries to save money, even at bunco. Hosting the event does not have to be overly expensive, but the trick is planning ahead.

Our house is a fixer upper that we had been eyeing for some time until we could buy it. Years later we are still working on our home from time to time. Luckily my wife's bunco group tells me a year in advance when her time to host is. Yet my wife and I continue to procrastinate. One way we could have planned better is to break up the cost of the house remodel quarterly instead of one big lump sum.

Hosting bunco can be very expensive. My wife tends to over buy, which does not help. Instead of buying alcohol the week of bunco, watch the sales a month or two ahead. Wine will last a while if uncorked, so watch the circular and buy a couple of bottles at a time. Many grocery stores run very good wine specials, and offer a discount if you buy six bottles at a time.

My theme of buying ahead is prevailing! I understand you can not buy lettuce two months before bunco, but you can buy olives, crackers, and non-perishable ingredients. If the item is on sale, and you have a coupon, you may have felt like a bunco winner, and the dice have not begun to roll yet! Choose group-friendly entrees, such as casseroles, chili, enchiladas, or even pizza. Limiting the appetizers will help you save money as well.

We always seem to do Halloween. Which is my wife's favorite holiday. Again we will be hosting in 2009. This year we bought stuff on clearance such as napkins, plates, and cups so we wouldn't pay a premium in 2009. A nice 75% discount never hurts.

Please take time to inventory what you have before you go shopping. I cannot tell you how many cans of pumpkin I donated to the food bank this Christmas. Once again, plan according for items you need. A few quick checks ahead will keep you from getting burned with leftover unwanted product.

My friends are teaming up with me to help ease the expense of this expensive get togethers of our wives. So start strategically planning in advance so you will save money and look like a stud in your wife's eyes.
