When it comes to insurance costs, your credit record can be just as important as your driving record

When it comes to insurance costs, your credit record can be just as important as your driving record
As a smart consumer, it should be no surprise to you that
your credit report can affect the interest rate you get on
a car loan. The better your credit score, the better your
rate. But did you know your credit can also influence your
auto and home insurance premiums?

It's called insurance scoring, and it can drive up—or
drive down—your insurance premiums.

Insurance companies believe there is a correlation between
credit history and the likelihood of someone filing a
claim. So now, almost 90% of auto insurance companies, and
an increasing number of home insurers use credit
information to determine your premiums...or if they should
even insure you at all.

What is your insurance score? You can order your insurance
scores any time by clicking here. Your insurance score
takes into account factors such as your outstanding
debt...length of credit history...payment history...and
amount of revolving credit (the credit card balances you
carry over month to month).

You might be thinking: "Hey, this sounds a lot like a
credit score." Well, you're right. The two are very
similar. However, while both insurance and credit scores
look at the same characteristics of your credit report,
insurers place more importance on the factors that show
long-term stability. They place emphasis on how regularly
you pay rather than how much you owe.

Can you improve your score? Keeping your credit healthy can
be a big boost to your insurance score (and your credit
score, of course!). Here are a few quick tips for a stellar
score:

* Limit the number of credit cards you apply for—aim
to apply for only the ones you know you'll need

* Pay your bills on time—sounds simple, but it is a
huge factor in your score

* Be responsible—keep your balances well under your
credit limit

Stay in the driver's seat One of the best ways to ensure
your credit is helping (and not hurting) you is to check it
regularly. By checking your credit report frequently, you
can stay on top of your information easily.

By making a real effort to improve your credit, you could
lower your premiums quite a bit, especially if your credit
wasn't up to par in the past. And that could mean a little
extra money in your pocket every month.

Just keep in mind that your insurance score is only part of
your premium equation. Things like your age, driving record
(for auto insurance and home property value (for home
insurance) might also be factors.

How to Use Your Rewards Credit Card Points

How to Use Your Rewards Credit Card Points
Competition among credit card companies is a great
advantage for consumers. Credit card rewards are made
bigger and better by credit card issuers to make sure that
consumers would choose them over their competitors. How can
you use your credit card points effectively and get the
most out of your rewards credit cards?

The first thing to consider would be what type of rewards
credit card do you currently have? If you're still on the
process of selecting a rewards credit card, which one
should you choose?

Because rewards credit cards come in a variety of classes,
it is best to choose the one that best suits your
lifestyle. For instance, there are travel rewards credit
cards, gas rewards credit cards, or cash rewards credit
cards. You'll be able to get the most benefit if the type
of rewards credit card you have is that fits your needs.

Travel Rewards Credit Cards

Travel Rewards Credit Cards are especially designed for
people who frequently travel. Whenever you use your credit
card for purchasing, you automatically receive points that
are equivalent to travel mileage points. The minimum
mileage points you need to collect in order to qualify for
a free travel will depend on the credit card issuer.
Usually, credit card companies have partnership with an
airline that sponsors free travel tickets. Thus, you may
consider getting the Travel Rewards Credit Cards that is
affiliated with the airline you must often fly with.

Gas Rewards Credit Cards

If you're frequently on road trips, you can get the best
deals out of gas rewards credit cards. Gas Rewards Points
are also collected each time you make a purchase using your
credit card. These points allow you to get full tanks of
gas at no charge at affiliate gas stations. Imagine how
much money you'll save in a month if you often get full gas
tanks for free.

Cash Rewards Credit Cards

Most people prefer to get cash rewards credit cards.
Usually, you'll be given a point for every dollar you spend
on your credit card. However, some credit card issuers give
2 points or more for every dollar spent on the card. You
can use these points to make new purchases or these points
can be added on your credit. Some credit card companies
have their own exclusive online store where customers can
shop to redeem their points.

Choose Wisely

Make sure that you will be able to use the points you'll be
collecting. For example, even if you earn a free travel
rewards, what if it includes restrictions, or what if you
can only claim it for a limited time period? Be sure to
check out all the terms and conditions that apply when
claiming the reward. If you don't, the rewards you earned
may simply be thrown out the window. Also, make sure that
the credit card allows unlimited time for collecting
points. If not, then you'll always be trying to earn enough
points in time which is a very risky way of using your
credit card.

Lastly, see to it that you'll be paying off your balances
before the due date ends. Otherwise, you may end up paying
for very high interest rates which defeats your purpose of
purchasing to earn rewards. Also, some credit card issuers
disqualify a card holder who has an outstanding balance in
their account.

Airline Rewards Credit Cards: Take Advantage of Airline Offers

Airline Rewards Credit Cards: Take Advantage of Airline Offers
Flying has become an increasingly common and convenient way
to travel. Whether you frequently travel by air or want to
fly to your next vacation destination, airline rewards
credit cards can help you out. Read on to learn how airline
rewards credit cards work and find some of the best offers
available.

Earn the Miles

Airline rewards credit cards come in many shapes and forms,
but the majority of them share the same basic principles.
Most airline rewards credit cards allot you one mile for
each dollar spent. Once you have earned a certain number of
miles, you can exchange them for a plane ticket.

Besides earning miles through purchases, many airline
rewards credit cards grant you bonus miles when you sign
up. They may also offer special deals for you to earn
additional miles once you have the card. Some award double
points for making purchases at select places, such as
restaurants and movie theaters.

Most major airline carriers offer a co-branded card, which
is issued in partnership between the airline and a bank or
credit card company. These cards allow you to earn
additional miles when you purchase plane tickets through
them or use their airline partner services, such as hotels
and car rentals.

Reap the Rewards

Once you have an airline rewards credit card, you can keep
track of the miles you earn on your card statement. Each
card company sets the number of miles needed to earn free
plane tickets. Usually fewer miles are required to travel
domestically, while more are needed for international
flights. Some cards allow you to redeem your miles for
other items, include hotel stays, cruises, or car rentals.

While the rewards are fantastic, airline rewards credit
cards also include certain terms and conditions. Most of
them come with a higher interest rate and charge an annual
fee. However, if you pay off your balance each month, the
travel rewards will far outweigh the fees.

Best Offers Available

It is important to consider your travel interests and
lifestyle as you look for the right airline rewards credit
card. If you want the flexibility of flying any airline,
the Discover Miles Card is a good choice. It offers
benefits for signing up, including 0% interest on purchases
and balance transfers for the first twelve months. Also,
you can earn an additional 1,000 miles each month, just for
using the card. That can total up to 12,000 bonus miles
over the first year! You earn one mile for every dollar
that you spend. And with Discover Miles Card there is no
annual fee involved.

Another airline rewards credit card with plenty of
flexibility is the Chase Travel Plus Platinum Visa card.
This card allows you to choose from over 250 airlines.
Chase Travel Plus Platinum Visa comes with 0% interest on
purchases and balance transfers for up to twelve months.
With a low annual fee of $29 and reward options including
flights, hotel stays, car rentals, cruises and more, this
card is well worth the investment.

Airline rewards credit cards offer enticing benefits. By
making purchases on your card, you can earn miles that can
be used for free travel. Look over your vacation plans.
Then apply online today for an airline rewards credit card.
Soon you'll be turning in those miles for tickets. Happy
flying!

Love that loan! How to get the best rates

Love that loan! How to get the best rates
Buying a new home or car is exciting stuff. Whether you're
going after a condo or a convertible, it's a great feeling
finding what you want. The only thing better? Knowing that
you're saving money on your loan because you're prepared
and your credit report is in tip-top shape.

When you're considering getting a mortgage or car loan—or
any type of loan, really—there are three things you should
focus on before you apply. These loan factors are called
the "big three" because they could save you big money if
you know how to use them to your advantage.

FACTOR #1: Your credit score. The first thing you should do
is check your credit score. Scores above 680 will help you
qualify for standard rates. The higher your credit score,
the lower your interest rate will be. Get your credit score
as high as you can before you apply. Here are a couple ways
you can do that:

* Order a credit report and make sure it's accurate. If
there are mistakes, have them corrected by filing a dispute.

* Pay your bills on time, especially for at least 6 months
before applying for a loan.

* Keep your credit card balances way below your credit
limits and do not apply for any more credit.

Your credit scores can be improved if you work at it.

FACTOR #2: Debt-to-income ratio. Lenders need to be sure
that you can repay your loan. So they use a calculation
called your "debt-to-income ratio" to help them figure out
where you stand. You can determine your debt-to-income
ratio by adding up your monthly debts and dividing that
amount by your monthly income. A debt-to-income ratio under
20-30% is usually considered good and will help you be seen
as financially secure.

If you're not hitting the 20-30% mark, try to lower the
amount of your monthly debt. Create a monthly spending plan
to help you save money. You'll want to shrink your debt as
much as you can before you apply for your loan. You may
also be able to increase your income by co-signing with
your spouse.

FACTOR #3: Loan-to-value ratio. Another thing that will
affect your interest rate is the loan-to-value ratio. This
ratio helps you work out how much you can afford to borrow
(at the best rates). All you do is divide the loan amount
by the property's value. If your loan-to-value ratio is
above 80%, your rates could jump up quite a bit. So the
trick here is to make sure your loan-to-value ratio is
below 80%. You can do that by finding a less expensive home
(or car) or saving for a bigger down payment.

Keep these big three factors in mind as you prepare for a
loan, and you can enjoy BIG savings on your new home or car.

Consumer Credit Counseling Dis-Services: Beware of these 3 Scams

Consumer Credit Counseling Dis-Services: Beware of these 3 Scams
It's happened countless times in Canada with dishonest
consumer credit counseling services:

Consumers gather their bills, swallow their pride, and
shell out cold hard cash for help in clawing their way out
of debt by using debt settlement services or a debt
management program, only to be taken to the cleaners by the
very people trusted to helping them improve their financial
situation.

The culprits in these schemes? Bad apple consumer credit
counseling services whose agenda isn't in helping you, but
helping themselves - to your cash.

Let me start by stating that many consumer credit
counseling services are honest, but there are a few out
there that are interested only in enriching themselves at
your expense. It only takes one bad one to spoil the bunch.

Consumer credit counseling services routinely try to
negotiate reduced interest charges and late fees to quickly
take a bite out of your debt. By negotiating these
reductions and consolidating all of your payments into one
payment you can make to them once or twice a month, in
theory you can save money and get out of debt more quickly.
The debt settlement service then makes payments to your
creditors on your behalf.

Here are some of the tricks the bad ones use - and how you
can protect yourself.

1. The unscrupulous debt counseling services will apply
your first payment to their fees, instead of forwarding it
to your creditors. When this happens, not only do they
usually "forget" to disclose this fact to you, doing so
will result in your getting hit with late fees by your
creditors. You can avoid this situation by finding out in
writing what their fees are and how they'll be paid.

2. This next tactic flies in the face of logic if you're
trying to claw your way out of debt and improve your credit
situation, but some debt consolidation companies make
payments on your accounts based upon their own schedule,
regardless of when the payments are actually due. If this
happens to you, your credit scores will sink a little
farther and you'll probably have to pay a late fee, which
will result in higher account balances.

3. The third most popular scam is the most egregious.
Instead of making the payments you've entrusted them to
make, a fly by night debt consolidation company will take
your money and completely skip making the payments. When
confronted with the charge that your payments were never
made, they will claim that it's a computer glitch or the
"check is in the mail" -- all the while continuing to take
your money each month.

After a few months of this activity, they'll disappear into
the night and your chances of recovering your money will
evaporate. They'll be richer and you'll be left holding a
stack of unpaid bills and a credit report that looks like
it's been in a bar fight.

Here's what you should do.

You can help protect yourself from this situation by
thoroughly checking out any debt management program you're
considering. A good place to start is with the Better
Business Bureau http://welcome.bbb.org/ and with Credit
Counselling Canada. http://www.creditcounsellingcanada.ca

Once you've signed on with a debt management program, check
with your creditors yourself to ensure that scheduled
payments have been made. If they haven't, immediately
contact your local law enforcement agency and quit paying
the debt settlement service immediately.

It's one thing to swallow your pride and acknowledge that
you have a problem with debt - it's another thing
altogether to realize too late that the bitter taste in
your mouth is the residue from an expensive lesson learned.

Everything You've Been Told About Investing is Wrong!

Everything You've Been Told About Investing is Wrong!
There's no such thing as a high yield, low risk investment,
is there? There are no different investment options other
than those you see advertised in the media, or the ones
your financial advisors suggest might be 'exactly right for
you', are there?

In fact, the investment industry wants you to believe a
story - a myth, if you like - and it goes something like
this...

* Investment is risky

* You need to leave it to the experts

* The experts know what they're doing

* They will, of course, charge you for their knowledge

* Every product has a commission attached

* Every loan application comes with a fee

* Every stock trade costs you money

* Every move between funds attracts a charge

* Each time we advise you, we'll charge you

* And the best we can offer you is a few percent a year

* It's simply impossible to do better without taking
massive risk

* And we don't, of course, advise that course of action.

Now, I could take each of those statements apart, one by
one. Instead, let me condense my response into one simple
statement...

Everything you've been told about investing is wrong!

* Your financial advisors have not told you the whole truth
- mainly because they don't know it themselves!

* Your bank manager has been unwittingly leading you astray
all these years

* Your pension is not performing the way it could

* Your investments are returning you paltry sums, compared
to what is possible

Now, all this does assume that you are currently an
Ordinary Investor. You have a pension pot (maybe). You have
some savings (if you're lucky), perhaps in a high-interest,
online account. You sometimes dabble in the stock market,
and maybe in commodities such as gold occasionally.

You make a bit here, you lose a bit there and, overall, if
you can beat the standard bank rate (say, 5%?) then you're
happy.

Is this you? Do you recognise yourself here? Then, with all
due respect, you are an Ordinary Investor.

Maverick Investors also use 5% as a benchmark.

BUT - while Ordinary Investors are thinking "5% per annum",
Maverick Investors are thinking 5% per MONTH!! And on many
occasions, they'll actually exceed this target - sometimes
by a significant margin!

Why is the investment industry is set up in such a way to
feed you the story outlined above, based on highly
selective information?

Because the investment industry is huge, and it largely
remains so by keeping you in the dark!

Think about it - there are thousands of investment houses
out there, employing hundreds of thousands of analysts,
traders, agents, sales people and back office staff.

The retail side of this mega-business - in other words, the
side that has commission-only agents selling you
low-yielding products - relies on retail customers (like
you!) buying these products and thereby funding the
business through commissions and fees.

It's in the industry's best interests to keep you coming
back to the same agents for more low-yielding investments,
year after year after year.

Now, imagine this.

Imagine you found a way (or several ways) to significantly
out-perform every one of those retail investment products
on your own, without any sales agents being involved, you'd
never go back, would you?

And if there really are high yield, low risk investment
methods out there which require little of your time, no
special equipment, no lengthy training, which pose minimal
risk, and that you could manage yourself from home, do you
really think the investment industry would let you know
about them?

Of course not!

That would threaten their commission income, and they'd
never accept that!

Maverick Investors don't believe that investment is
necessarily difficult, or risky, or that it should be left
entirely in the hands of 'experts'.

Experts have their place, of course, but the investment
industry wants you to believe that experts are vital, and
that they are your only route through to smart investment
strategies.

That simply isn't true.

With a little application, you can quickly become your own
expert. The only thing that stands between you (achieving
5% a year at a push) and me (achieving 5% a month, almost
with my eyes closed!) is knowledge.

Don't you owe it to yourself and your family to seek out
this knowledge for yourself, and start making some massive
strides towards true financial freedom?

----------------------------------------------------
Now you're thinking, 5% a month? Who's he trying to fool?
And you might be right! Then again, I do have a reputation
to consider. And I have set up a content-rich website
specifically to educate people about these little-known,
high-yield, low-risk strategies. And I do use most of these
strategies myself on a regular basis. No, I'm not fooling
anyone. Come and see for yourself...

Learn the "Correct" way to buy a home so it's not a disaster.

Learn the "Correct" way to buy a home so it's not a disaster.
Buying a home is the single biggest purchase you will ever
make. Surely you want to make sure it s a smooth process.
We are a society that likes to touch and feel. Kind of like
trying to buy a car, you want to take it for a test spin
before you buy. Unfortunately that is not the way it works
in the real estate arena. You will find that most "seasoned
real estate" professionals will not jump in there car to
show you a home until you have secured financing with at
reputable lender. With the current credit crunch and
liquidity problems with banks, you better make darn sure
you can secure financing. Even individuals with good credit
are having issues getting financing secured. Here are the
steps to follow:

Get Pre-Approved not Pre-qualified.
Getting pre-approved means you have a lender verify all
documents to support the loan approval. Most lenders will
run you loan through a automated engine. Once everything is
verified and ran through either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
engine you should be approved at that time.Pre-qualfied
means that someone has taken your information over the
phone and has not verified anything other than your credit
report. This type of approval does not mean jack hill of
beans.

Meet with your lender whom has approved you.
This is an important part of the process, so there is no
misunderstanding on loan terms. Make sure you understand
your payment interest rate etc...........

Find a reputable and seasoned realtor.
Finding a seasoned reputable realtor is so important; the
reason is they need to understand the current market, and
what to look out for on your behalf. A realtor's job is to
look out for your best interest. Once you have been
pre-approved, then the realtor will have a better
understand as too what type of negotiation process to start
on a home.

This process is the best way to assure your home buying
process is as smooth as possible. I am sure you hear of the
nightmares out there, typically this is because the proper
process in not followed. The end result is not good one.
Lenders are looking at your credit scores very close now.
Make sure before you start the process you pull a current
copy of your free credit score report. That way you already
have a idea where you stand.

How to Finance and Buy a Business Opportunity Investment

How to Finance and Buy a Business Opportunity Investment
There are a number of key business financing difficulties
to anticipate and avoid when obtaining a business
opportunity loan that covers a business acquisition that
does not include commercial property as part of the
financing. For example, many commercial lenders will not
provide commercial loans that do not include real estate as
part of the business purchase.

The level of interest for buying a business opportunity
investment has increased due to the reduction of activity
involving residential real estate investing. However,
because there are so many critical differences between
financing residential real estate and business financing,
it is important for potential business owners to educate
themselves before proceeding.

In order to buy a business, a commercial borrower is likely
to need business financing. If the business includes
commercial real estate, the borrower will need a commercial
mortgage. If the business purchase does not involve real
estate, a business borrower must use a business opportunity
loan.

Unfortunately the availability of business opportunity
financing is more restricted than commercial real estate
financing. There are also some potential limitations and
problems unique to a business opportunity loan, and
commercial borrowers should make every effort to avoid
these business financing difficulties.

This summary is designed to address the unique business
financing requirements involved when real estate is not
involved. Our suggested approach to business opportunity
financing is provided below.

Begin your business opportunity investment financing plans
by formulating a realistic assessment of cash available for
a down payment and desired maximum business purchase price.
In most business financing scenarios, a total down payment
approximating 20% to 25% of the purchase price is
advisable. Usually seller financing is permissible for a
portion of the down payment, but a potential buyer
generally needs to plan on investing at least 10% of the
purchase price from their own funds even if the seller is
providing 15% or more.

Evaluate whether a Small Business Administration loan is
relevant for your particular business financing and
investing circumstances. This step is both important and
somewhat complicated, and the involvement of an SBA loan
expert is strongly advised. Among the issues to explore are
whether collateral is available for SBA financing and how
important refinancing is to your overall business
opportunity financing process.

Determine the length of lease to be arranged in conjunction
with buying the business. As noted previously, business
opportunity financing and investing does not involve the
purchase of commercial real estate, so arrangements must be
made for a long-term lease. The length of the lease is
important because the normal business finance terms will
restrict the length of business financing to the period
covered by the lease (although you should anticipate a
ten-year maximum for investment business loans). In other
words, with a seven-year lease, the commercial loan is
likely to be for seven years, and even with a fifteen-year
lease, the commercial financing will probably expire in ten
years.

Explore whether including real estate is a viable option or
not in order to buy a business. With the inclusion of
commercial property, you can obtain a longer business loan
and the interest rate will be lower. However, improved
business financing terms should not be the sole factor you
look at, since the absence of a commercial mortgage can
prove to be a significant advantage in a declining real
estate market.

Discuss business finance options with a business
opportunity loan expert before making any offers to buy a
business investment. These discussions should include
issues such as potential purchase price, down payment
possibilities, seller financing, buyer credit scores, tax
return requirements and collateral options.

Delaying Property Repairs 'Could Be Costly'

Delaying Property Repairs 'Could Be Costly'
The impact of last week's earthquake could affect more than
homeowners' properties, it has been suggested.

Following the tremor which affected many parts of England
and Wales, consumers may find that the natural occurrence
will see them having to dig deep into their pockets to meet
the cost of repairing their home, the Royal Institution of
Chartered Surveyors (Rics) asserts. However, pointing to
insurance companies' forecasts that such expenses could run
into millions of pounds, people were urged against paying
more than is necessary to finance getting their home back
in shape.

Rics suggested that replacing a clay or concrete roof
covering will set homeowners back between 280 pounds and
290 pounds per tile. Furthermore, it was stated that
rebuilding a broken chimney stack could see consumers come
under more financial pressure. Reconstructing a damaged
chimney stack carries an expense ranging from 2,170 pounds
up to about 4,340 pounds, depending on the number of high
pots it contains.

For people looking for an effective way to pay for
repairing their property, taking out a cheap home loan
might prove to be of assistance.

It was also suggested that, following the earthquake, many
consumers could discover that the doors and windows of
their home have become tighter than normal. This was
attributed to damage sustained to their frames, with the
cost of having windows and doors repaired standing at 110
pounds and 68 pounds respectively. However, if homeowners
do not take steps to get such features repaired as soon as
possible then they may find that glass will crack.

People were also warned against leaving small cracks in
walls and ceilings unattended. By letting it develop, Rics
claimed that such a fracture may see damp appear and cause
wooden floors and walls to rot. To replace external
brickwork that has suffered a 1 m-long crack, it was
suggested that consumers may be set back by up to 190
pounds. However, if such work is required at a high level,
homeowners may face expenses of between 155 pounds and 230
pounds. Blocked and broken drainpipes were also cited as
potential damage that an earthquake could cause, inflicting
harm that would take up to 275 pounds to fix.

Ian Potts, spokesperson for Rics, said: "If properties are
left unchecked and damages are not routed out and repaired
straight away, it could cause more extensive damage to the
property and to the wallets." He went on to report that
before taking any steps to repair damage to their home,
consumers should first call out a chartered building
surveyor. It was claimed that such an official will be able
to do a "full property evaluation in order to ascertain the
full extent of the damage to the property". From this, a
surveyor may be able to judge how much a home has been
impaired and what construction work needs doing.

Consumers looking for an effective way to fund property
repairs may wish to consider applying for a home
improvement loan. This type of homeowner loan may not only
help consumers to pay for materials but also to hire
professionals to assess what work needs doing and others to
carry out this out. In addition, such a loan could be of
assistance to consumers wishing to revamp their property.
Earlier this year, research carried out by Yorkshire Bank
indicated that a significant number of people are looking
to increase privacy within their homes and gardens.

One way to finance the implementation of this, which could
include fitting semi-opaque windows or a security system,
is to take out a homeowner loan.
