Mar 7th
Millions of Britons are set to borrow money this year – whether this be through credit and store cards or personal loans – to fund their spending in the run-up to Christmas, an industry expert has asserted.
Susan Hannums, savings manager for AWD Chase de Vere, claimed that borrowing money to finance the festive season is becoming a more popular option for consumers as many look towards using plastic cards, loans and other forms of borrowing to help them manage their spending. However, Ms Hannums suggested that consumers could well find themselves coming under further financial pressure this Christmas as mortgage costs have increased due to the impact of the five interest rate increases carried out by the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee since August last year.

Mar 4th
Some schools will meet 100 percent of your ‘need’ in grants and scholarships, and some will meet 100 percent of it in loans and work-study. For the most part, it will definitely be a combination of grants, scholarships, loans and work-study.
The majority of financial aid comes from four primary sources, which are: 1. Federal Government 2. State Government 3. Campus-based programs 4. Private Scholarships.
Starting with the Federal Government programs, there are three major federally based programs: 1) Pell Grants 2) Parent PLUS/SLS Loans 3) Subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans
Pell Grants: The Federal Pell Grant does not have to be repaid. Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students with extreme financial need.

Mar 1st
Amortization is the elimination of a debt over time with periodic payments. The equal monthly payments of principal and interest over a specified period of time will completely pay off an amortized loan. If you want to see how amortization works, it is best to look at an amortization schedule.
For example, assume you make a school loan payment every month. A portion of that payment covers the interest you owe, and a portion of the payment pays down your principal. The majority of each payment at the beginning of an amortization loan pays for interest.
Interest on amortized loans is paid in arrears, and more interest is paid during the early period of the loan than at the end of the loan. As time goes on, more and more of each payment covers your principal. You are then “amortizing” the loan.

Feb 28th
The consumer credit sector is on track for a downturn over the course of 2007, new figures indicate.
According to research conducted by Datamonitor, the amount of money the public borrows – whether this is through secured loans, overdrafts or credit cards – is set to continue to fall over the remainder of this year. The news comes as the industry was revealed to have experienced a “tough quarter” in the period between April and June.
Over the course of the second quarter of 2007, balances outstanding accounted for some 213.8 billion pounds, a rise of some 0.4 per cent from the previous quarter and one percentage point higher than the same period last year. This was attributed to more borrowers reducing their expenditure and making more repayments on personal loans and other types of debt. Meanwhile, consumer credit advances during the quarter made up some 50.5 billion pounds, a fall of some three per cent from the same time in 2006. The figure was also 1.2 per cent below the period between January and March.
Consequently, the firm predicts that although the consumer credit market is set to rise from the 207.4 billion pounds in gross advances taken out last year to stand at 229.8 billion pounds by 2011, 2007 will see a “dip” in borrowing. The fall was mainly attributed to the impact of five interest rate rises carried out by the Bank of England since August 2006 and the tightening of lending criteria following the recent sub-prime crisis in the United States.

Feb 25th
Consumers need to adopt a more hands-on approach to managing their money, it has been suggested.
According to research conducted by Callcredit, millions of Britons have developed serious difficulties in making repayments on their borrowing, whether this is through personal loans, overdrafts or credit and store cards. It is reported that some 8.2 million adults are currently experiencing particular financial hardship, while 2,750 county court judgments are filed in the country everyday. Overall, the majority of Britons (60 per cent) state that they do not know how much they are in the red by. Meanwhile, debt difficulties could be even more pronounced for the 15 per cent of consumers who openly admit that they do not have a clue as to how much they owe.
The credit reference agency also pointed to findings from the Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) which indicated that a “shocking proportion” of older people are experiencing hardship in managing personal loan responsibilities and other forms of debt. According to the service, the proportion of those above the age of 60 who have monetary problems rose at the fastest rate of any demographic over the course of 2006. The organisation also forecasts that by the end of this year, it will be helping more of the over-60s manage their finances than it does with people under the age of 25.

Feb 22nd
With widespread concerns over the stability of the housing market escalating in recent months, new statistics have shown that approval rates for mortgage loans fell by 50 per cent during March 2008.
According to the British Bankers Association, figures for all major high street banks showed a downturn in the availability of mortgage loans, with personal loans also being reported as weakening. Total figures for mortgage lending among all major banks stood at 5.1 billion pounds, down from 5.5 billion pounds in February. This amounts to just 35,417 new mortgages being approved during the course of the month, an 18 per cent decrease from the previous month. Consumer credit approvals also fell by 200 million pounds to stand at 500 million pounds.
The decline in mortgage loan availability was experienced across all forms of applications, with approvals for house purchases standing at its lowest level since 1997. Furthermore, close to 50 per cent of successful applications came from homeowners looking to secure remortgaging deals, although fewer of these types of loans were successful than in previous months.
