			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Wells Fargo &#8212; and by extension Wachovia &#8212; used to feel like a nightmare to get a loan modification from. But as of May 9, 2009 the Wells Fargo loan modification nightmare has gone from awful to not so bad. They have finally embraced the Home Affordable Modification Program and are openly accepting modification applications.<br/><br/>The three big requirements Wells Fargo is looking are are:<br/><br/>- That your mortgage total is less than $729,750<br/><br/>- You must have taken out your mortgage before January 1, 2009<br/><br/>- The payments you are making now must be fore than 31% of your gross monthly income<br/><br/>If you believe that you fit into all of these requirements, WF just may grant you a loan modification.<br/><br/>Their newer requirements are quite a change from their old ones, which made it virtually impossible for middle income families to qualify. What&#8217;s more is they are offering Wells Fargo loan modification programs that can take your interest down to 2% if you qualify. The overall goal is to get your monthly mortgage payments down to 31% of your gross monthly income, and nowhere above it &#8212; whatever that takes.<br/><br/>The requirements are very simple, so the importance is placed on filling out the paperwork properly. A single mistake can end in a denial. A poorly-written hardship letter can do the same. So being extremely careful with both aspects of the application is very important.<br/><br/>You can get assistance with filling out the paperwork from FHA-appointed specialists who will give you help for no fee. These specialists will not only help you with your paperwork, but also give you a consultation beforehand.<br/><br/>Possibly the most surprising thing about the Wells Fargo loan modification program is that the program doesn&#8217;t much for negotiations &#8212; you either fit the requirements above or you don&#8217;t. And if you do, they will work with you to reach an agreement.<br/><br/>This whole change is very surprising to WF borrowers, who never expected them to actually bend to the pressure from the government. But with foreclosures at an all-time high, lending companies across the country are doing anything they can to try to avoid losing the hundreds of thousands of dollars they would if they let all of the homes go into foreclosure.<br/><br/>If you are a WF borrower, now is the time to apply for loan modification through them. Wells Fargo loan modification has gone from one of the most difficult lenders to deal with to one of the easiest, and it&#8217;s your chance to take advantage of that.</p>

<p align="justify"><br/><br/>Some homeowners, when they originally purchase their home or refinance, are pushed into an expensive &#8220;credit insurance&#8221; policy. Despite how they are sold to the borrowers, though, these schemes can often just be one more way that lenders enrich themselves by taking advantage of the financial ignorance of most borrowers. Abusive credit insurance can also be used as a defense against a foreclosure lawsuit.<br/><br/>But what is credit insurance? There are two common types of it &#8212; a credit life policy and a credit disability or accident and health policy. Both can be abused by lenders when they force expensive policies on borrowers who may receive little or no benefit from them. Although some policies may be advisable in some cases, expensive policies that have limited or no benefit for the borrowers are a sign of abuse.<br/><br/>Credit life policies will pay off the existing mortgage in the event the covered person dies. Credit disability coverage is designed to be used by borrowers to pay their monthly mortgage expenses in the event of a disability or other interruption in income due to health reasons. Both can be quite helpful for homeowners in certain situations, but these types of insurance are also offered cheaper through other sources.<br/><br/>One reason that other insurance providers may offer such policies cheaper is that the lender, when it pushes homeowners into a credit insurance policy, is often compensated directly by the insurer. The insurance company pays the mortgage origination company for placing the insurance, which gives lenders incentives to recommend the highest-cost policy available.<br/><br/>The potential abuse of such policies comes from the way that the creditors (the mortgage lenders) benefits from the sale of the insurance. Lenders receive a commission, in most cases, determined by a percentage of the total premium the borrowers have to pay. The higher and more expensive the coverage, the more then bank gets paid by the insurer. Of course, this means that the highest cost coverage is offered.<br/><br/>Also, borrowers who purchase a credit insurance policy voluntarily may have the premiums added to the balance of their loan amount. This means that the bank will be able to charge interest on the insurance policy premiums, thereby increasing the cost even more over the life of the loan. This raises the effective interest rate of the loan and increases the profit of the loan to the bank.<br/><br/>While most homeowners may just not be aware of how these policies work and the lenders&#8217; incentive in offering them, the practices described above may not be outright abuses. However, some borrowers have been pressured into paying for insurance policies where they are ineligible to receive any benefits under the terms of the policy. This is an obvious abuse and mortgage companies can be held responsible for it.<br/><br/>However, the most important point for homeowners to remember is that they have a choice with these policies. If the lender is forcing them into one, they can always go with a different bank or lower coverage amount. A future article will look at how the insurers inappropriately deny benefits even for borrowers who have adequate coverage, as well as legal claims against the lenders and insurers.</p>

<p align="justify"><br/><br/>Most people will need to borrow money at some point in their lives. Whether it is a home loan, car loan, or even home renovation loan, there are many reasons why people borrower many. Because most banks and financial institutions make most of their money from lending, they are usually very willing to approve most loans. One particular loan that many people are interested in is an unsecured personal line of credit.<br/><br/>It is important that you know the difference between a secured loan and an unsecured loan. If you have a secured loan then it means the loan is backed with collateral. The collateral could be anything from your home equity to your vehicle. These loans give you the best interest rates that are available because of the low risk.<br/><br/>Unsecured credit on the other hand doesn&#8217;t have any collateral that is backing the loan. This generally makes these loans are riskier choice for different borrowers. Anyone who is looking to get an unsecured loan approved should generally have a good credit rating to get a competitive interest rate for the loan application. When it comes to most loans, you credit rating does matter.<br/><br/>An unsecured personal line of credit works similar to credit cards. The borrower is pre-approved for a certain limit of money. Once you are approved you can use up the credit limit, but you must repay the minimum interest rates every month. Once you have paid off the credit limit you can then use up the limit again. The benefit that these credit lines have over credit cards is the interest rates are lower than other forms of credit.</p>

<p align="justify"><br/><br/>Study reveals that nearly 9 million people in America have problems of bad credit. This forms about 3% of the population, (over 6% of the adult population!) of the United States. So the knowing the credit history of a person is gaining ground and necessity for creditors.<br/><br/>The fact remains if your FICO rate is below 620, people won&#8217;t lend you any credit. This FICO score being low has various reasons like bankruptcy, excessive debts, inability of rendering payment of bills at proper time, among others.<br/><br/>However, there is a ray of hope! Your credit score can be improved. This can be done by maintaining your potential for credit,however small it may be and making it clear to creditors that you&#8217;re capable of paying your debts in time, without having to having to resort to more credit. To help you improve your credit there 5 basic steps below.<br/><br/>1. Get yourself a copy of the your credit report. Then utilize the various advantages of the credit report of the government (which is free) from every Bureau of the National Consumer Credit &#8211; Equifax and Trans-Union. This will get you to the start of the process. It will give you a clear picture of your present rating.<br/><br/>2. File an application for a credit line, which may be a secured or unsecured credit card.<br/><br/>3. On getting the card, do not make blind purchases. Restrict the purchases to 70 percent of limit imposed on the credit card. i.e. if the limit of the credit card is $500, use it to the extent of $350 only.<br/><br/>4. Then, make sure you pay pay bills at the proper time, as this alone takes up 35% of the FICO score of yours. So this is a good base for creditors to judge your creditworthiness.<br/><br/>5. So what about Prepaid cards?<br/><br/>You can also use a credit card that is prepaid. This often a solution that many borrowers are unaware of. This, is perhaps the simplest and most effective method for longer term improvement if you have debt discipline problems. This effectively means you will mean using a credit card to rebuild credit &#8211; a &#8216;win-win&#8217; situation. Use a prepaid credit card that is reported to a Credit Bureau. Only a few of the credit cards regularly report to a credit bureau. So select one that does so, on a regular basis.<br/><br/>One thing to note about prepaid cards is that you must Keep a track of fees. The prepaid card companies often levy fees. Make a prior comparison with many companies in order to secure a credit card where the lowest fee is charged. Bear in mind that some fees need to be paid for credit cards that get reported to the credit bureau, which can be up to an annual fee of$100 &#8211; But remember the purpose of this card is to repair credit!<br/><br/><br/><br/>Check the benefits<br/><br/>Some prepaid cards are available with certain benefits, but not all of them. Some give you points which can be used for free call time and other activities.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Preventing abuse of the credit card<br/><br/>Prepaid cards have the distinct benefit that you can never cross the limit, so it enables you to avoid interest and penalties. The implication is that if a report to the credit bureau is made, it is literally impossible to get a FICO score which is lower than your current score with such a card. So you can get credit cards to rebuild credit. It only gets better!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><br/><br/>For those of you who have a Wells Fargo loan, the good news is that your lender has typically shown a willingness to work with borrowers in the past.  This means that they do approve loan modifications for those borrowers who qualify.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>The main problem for homeowners trying to get approved for any Wells Fargo loan modification, whether it be an in-house lender program or a government sponsored one, is meeting the guidelines.<br/><br/>If there was one thing I had to pick that stands out from everything else, it would be your income and expense documents.  This is where most homeowners fail to get approved.<br/><br/>Typically, you don&#8217;t want to make too much money and you don&#8217;t want to make too little.  When you add up all your income and subtract your monthly expenses, you want to be somewhere around one hundred dollars plus or minus.  This seems to be the magic number.<br/><br/>Before you go off and make up a bunch of numbers to get in the sweet spot, let  me remind you that you lender has access to your credit report and knows exactly how much you pay each month for anything listed on it.  Don&#8217;t change any of those figures!<br/><br/>If you would like expert assistance preparing your Wells Fargo loan modification, just visit the links below.  You can read reviews on some of the top no upfront fee loan modification companies and even try out a free HAMP loan modification calculator that will tell you what your new payment would be.<br/><br/> <br/><br/></p>
