Student Loan Rates to Increase 35% July 1 – Consolidating Now May Save Students Thousands of Dollars

September 1st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in Loans

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 12, 2005

On July 1, 2005, Federal Student loans rates will increase by 35-40%. Students who have graduated or are about to graduate need to act now to consolidate their loans to lock in the current interest rates which are the lowest in over 38 years. Students with a debt of ,000 could pay as much as ,500 more over the life of their loans in a 20-year period. The rates are based on the 91-day T-bill auction that occurs each May. Based on todayÂ?s current T-bill auction, rates may jump as much as 1.5%.

Students who consolidate loans while in their grace period and prior to July 1, may receive a fixed rate as low as 2.875%. For those students who are already in repayment, they may receive a fixed rate as low as 3.37%. Rates are variable until consolidated and have a 8.25% cap.

Â?Based on the current T-bill rates, students who wait to consolidate after July 1 will be facing increased rates of almost 5%Â? according to Mary Montiel of Collegiate Funding in San Diego CA. Â?Students need to realize that they must act quickly this year and consolidate immediately. Many times students wait until their 6-month grace period is up, but this year that would be a risk due to the potential rate increase. Students may also put their consolidated loan into deferment if they are unemployed and unable to make the paymentÂ?

Parents who have used the Federal PLUS program, the parent loan for undergraduate students, are facing the same increases. Such student loans are variable and adjust every July 1. The rate is fixed based on the weighted average of the loans once consolidated. Current Plus rates are 4.17% but could increase to 5.75% or higher.

Some lenders also offer incentives that further reduce the fixed rate. �Our student and parent borrowers are given an additional 1% rate reduction after they make 36 payments on time. We also give them a 30-day grace period to ensure that they qualify along with a ¼% reduction for automatic withdrawal� states Mary Montiel of collegiatefunding.com. Montiel cautions that you need to read the fine print because lenders often have disclosures stating they may revoke this incentive at any time.

The federal student loan program will go through reauthorization this year and the possibility of the fixed rate going away once and for all is a major concern for todayÂ?s students. President Bush has recommended this reauthorization in his budget cuts for the fiscal year. Consolidation can take up to 3 or 4 weeks which means that students and parents should act quickly to take advantage of the current rates.

One Month of Mojo, Applied to Credit Cards

September 1st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in Loans

Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 28, 2008

How do you make your voice count in a crowded space like the credit card market? Speaking louder than too loud might be the current popular way, but what if a new web site tried a new approach? The approach of presenting the best and the latest in Credit Card news and offerings, under the guidance of two cardinal principles:

1.    Credit Cards are not evil, credit cards are wonderful and flexible tools for sound personal finance management; abuse and misuse of credit cards is evil.

2.    Information is not power, only correct action based on facts is power. And someone else’s opinion, which might be biased, is just that, an opinion, one’s choices must be based on objective facts, not subjective opinions.

Credit Cards Mojo’s first article was published July 24, 2008, and today CreditCardsMojo.com is celebrating its one month anniversary ranking in the top 2.63% of all websites according to Alexa, an online service that measures traffic for millions of sites on the Internet in a similar way to Nielsen television show ratings.

CreditCardsMojo.com is part of the Personal Finances Networks (PFNetworks.com), a new start-up in Boston MA focused on providing information about personal finances directly to consumers in a way that is informative and entertaining at the same time. The business plan calls for multiple sites following different aspects of personal finances, from very niche aspects to general, arranged topically (the networks). CreditCardsMojo.com is the first of the series, and will soon be followed by sites related to Mortgages, Personal Loans, Auto Loans, Student Loans, and other topics.

While CreditCardsMojo.com is looking for writers, it also extends the invitation for guest writers, anyone from Finance and Personal Finance professionals to Personal Finance enthusiasts, who have something interesting and original to say and might not have access to a publishing platform.

“People are tired of self-fulfilling advice from too many sources, pretending to know with one single message what is good for everyone across the board. When it comes to Personal Finances, each individual situation is different, and individual are smart, they only need FACTS, and then they can often make the best decisions for themselves. Too much information, and especially biased and misleading information is where the danger is.” says Marco Aniello, PFNetworks.com’s Managing Partner.

Understanding the Financial Option of Cash Advances and Payday Loans

September 1st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in Loans

DR. LEE WARREN PLIM.ORG USA Rescission Depression
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Hackensack, NJ (PRWEB) September 26, 2005

Payday loans are intended for a short term use. Payday Loans (which also go under the name of cash advances, personal loans and paycheck advances) are arranged for employed individuals who find themselves in a predicament where they are short of fluid cash. That is why they are called payday loans and should be paid with the next paycheck.

The payday loan lending industry has generated billions of dollars in loans and keeps growing at an enormous rate.

There are many people that have considered or wondered about the option of a payday loan or cash advance. Lets shed some light on the subject. A cash advance is a financial service that allows an individual to borrow money for a fee when you need it the most. To qualify for a payday loan or cash advance, one just needs to fill out the no hassle, no credit check personal loan application. Qualifying is easy, the following guidelines are as follows; One must be 18 years of age or older, a United States citizen, make 00 per month, and have a checking or savings account. It is really that easy. An individual can apply for a payday loan either online, though an 800 number, or in certain states a payday loan store. Although one does not want to become dependent on online payday loans or cash advances, they are helpfull when you need to pay bills, such as credit cards. Not only does the monthly finance charge hit hard, but if you miss a payment on your card, it goes against your credit rating, making it all that much harder to get a home or apartment, and applying for a car loan. I hope you found the information above usefull. Thanks for looking.

InsureMe Looks at Parallels between Crime and Home Alarms

September 1st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in Loans

Denver, CO (PRWEB) May 19, 2008

InsureMe, a web-based service that helps people find affordable insurance, announced results of research to determine in which states people are more likely to have home alarms and whether that data coincides with crime figures.

“According to our statistics, people living in less populated states are not as likely to have house alarms, which makes sense,” said Peter Deusterman, InsureMe’s in-house statistician. “Wyoming, Vermont and the Dakotas have the fewest house alarms and are some of the least populated states.”

But population is not the only factor playing a role in the prevalence of home alarms. Crime rates play a role as well.

InsureMe’s aggregated data shows that over 40 percent of people residing in Louisiana, Florida and Maryland, using the InsureMe.com homeowner’s insurance shopping service, indicated that they have home alarms. Those three states also rank in the top 10 most dangerous in America, with Louisiana having the highest murder rate in the country.

Similarly, the majority–over 70 percent–of locals in New Hampshire, Maine and North Dakota do not have home alarms. In addition to being less populated, these states are the safest nationwide.

“So far it looks like the data aligns with nationwide crime statistics,” Deusterman said. “However, there are some anomalies, such as Alaska, which is ranked the eighth most dangerous in the country but is near the bottom for home alarm percentage.”

One reason for this apparent outlier, Deusterman conjectured, is that that the rural nature of Alaska might lend itself to a different type of crime. This theory is confirmed by the crime statistics: Alaska has high rates of assault and rape, but it places near the bottom of the list for all other types of crime.

“It seems different types of crime cause people to want a house alarm,” Deusterman said.

And Virginia makes a strong case for this point; it is the 15th safest in the country, yet almost 40 percent of Virginians have house alarms. While Virginia is a safe state on most fronts, it has the fifth-highest burglary rate in the nation.

High rates of burglary, robbery and murder tend to motivate people to buy home alarms.

Smart-Pipe Strategy to Provide MNOs with 31% Share of $188bn Mobile Content Market by 2012

September 1st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in News



Hampshire (PRWEB) September 5, 2007

Non-messaging mobile content revenues (including advertising) will reach 8 billion by 2012, according to the latest report by Juniper Research Limited. However, the question of which category of player will retain the largest portion of this pool of revenues is still very much open to debate.

The focus in the industry is currently on how to generate revenues from non-messaging mobile content, but there is a very poor understanding of why revenues are being shared at all, and what is being paid for. The report explores new business models that will distribute revenues among mobile content providers under three different scenarios, identifying who will retain the greatest proportion of available retail revenues and why.

Dumb Pipe

In the first scenario, mobile network operators (MNOs) themselves are reduced to Dumb Pipe status by aggressive end-user retail revenue-seeking activity by content owners, search engines and other branded service providers. This is the fastest road to bankruptcy for MNOs, since they will only retain a maximum of 24% (.7 billion) of the non-messaging mobile content market, while content providers will make 63% (8.7 billion) and third parties around 13% (.5 billion).

On-Portal

The On-Portal scenario suggests that MNOs will continue to attempt to implement the vertically-integrated model currently prevalent in developed North East Asian markets. Although MNOs will retain up to 30% ( billion) of revenues, the increased negotiating power of content providers means that the lion’s share of 67% (6.3 billion) will go to them, while there will be less space in the market for third parties, who will only retain around .5 billion.

Smart Pipe

The Smart Pipe scenario enables new business and revenue models to emerge that support the delivery of flexible, applications-centric value configurations – like search, imaging and information services – based on the core competencies of the various players. Under this scenario, mobile network operators are able to generate a small retained revenue upside (31%, or billion) by making a range of business-to-business services available to a larger number of third parties.

“Mobile network operators have nothing to lose by looking at alternative business and revenue models that enable them to blend a retail strategy with a well-articulated business-to-business and wholesale approach that capitalises on the network- and subscriber management requirements of an increasing array of downstream service providers,” says Sue Uglow, report author. “This requires a step-change in the mindsets of most MNOs, but we are beginning to see movement in this direction.”

Uglow maintains that reducing focus on retail revenues will increase profitability for many service providers. “Some providers may need to relinquish the end-user relationship as the costs associated with reaching consumers of non-messaging mobile content will exceed the revenues available. Profitability will become a more important long-term indicator of success than revenue,” she concludes.

PMLG Takes Project Management to Asia

August 31st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in News


Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 15, 2007

Project Management Leadership Group will hold its world-renowned Certified Project Manager Boot Camp™ on May 20-25, 2007 in Singapore.

PMLG is offering for the first-time ever its unparalleled Certified Project Manager (CPM) Boot Camp™ to the public in Singapore. Individuals interested in gaining the skills, tools and knowledge of completing a project on-time and on budget should participate in this dynamic, intense training experience. During this 5 ½ day total immersion training, participants apply the techniques learned through participating in a fun, simulated project environment. Through several different and challenging workshops, participants will leave this training with the successful techniques and tools for managing any size and complexity of a project.

Bill Stewart, CEO and President of PMLG, Inc., is a 30 year project management veteran and a pioneer of the project office concept. “PMLG plans to double our business this year and then double again next year, with about half of that growth coming from our expansion into the Asian-Pacific market.” The main reason Stewart selected Singapore is because the city-state is central to all Asian markets both geographically and culturally and is very open to American business with a strong desire for project management methodology. Stewart plans on using his Singapore business as a springboard for expansion into Australia, Korea, Malaysia and China, where he sees, “without question, the largest market in the region.”

While participants leave PMLG’s CPM Boot Camp™ with the tools and techniques for successfully completing any size project, they also gain invaluable leadership skills necessary for leading all types of projects. These leadership skills are obtained by participating in several challenging, yet realistic team building exercises that test and develop their individual leadership skills. Eighty percent of a Project Manager’s job involves effective communication and leadership abilities. Our hands-on workshops and teambuilding activities will provide the student with the skills needed to be an effective, yet dynamic leader.

“Over the years I have attended a number of project management classes, but PMLG’s Boot Camp is the only one where I learned techniques I could directly apply to managing projects better.” “I truly believe that without the PMLG training, we would not have achieved the on time, in scope and within budget results we are experiencing today.” These two student testimonials just begin to touch the thoughts and feelings of the students when they leave this unbelievable training experience. Our students leave with a feeling of accomplishment and the desire to return to their jobs with the confidence needed to successfully complete their projects.

The six day boot camp begins on Sunday with team building and leadership development. Students are divided into two teams and are assigned to a project which they will work on throughout the week. Each evening, they apply what they learned in an engaging team environment. Through this hands-on learning opportunity, students gain skills, techniques and tools in team building and project planning. Each student will have the opportunity to lead their team as the project manager. On Friday morning, students take a written examination and will participate in a comprehensive project simulation that will test their knowledge and skills learned during the week at boot camp. Two experienced PMLG instructors are assigned to each boot camp and provide coaching and mentoring to all participants throughout the week and thereafter.

PMLG, Inc. is a leading project management and professional services firm with a proven approach for rapidly moving organizations to a culture of disciplined planning and execution if strategic projects and programs. This mission is accomplished by providing a wide range of practical and proven products, services and training programs, delivered by experienced and talented project management professionals.
