Many people automatically obtain mortgage financing that amortizes over thirty years. Amortize, according to Wikipedia, “is the process of decreasing, or accounting for, an amount over a period of time. The word comes from Middle English amortisen to kill.” Basically, applying it to a mortgage, it means the terms for killing off that huge debt to which you just obligated yourself. That’s a nice thought – killing your mortgage, right? Now, consider the basic question – how long are you going to be hacking away at this debt?
Typically, as aforementioned, the most common loan term is for 30 years. But also quite common is the 15 year mortgage. What’s the most obvious difference? In basic terms, it’s the payment itself. The loan that amortizes over 15 years costs you approximately 20% to 25% more out of pocket per month. That difference oftentimes is where the buck stops. It’s a matter of affordability.
However, if the numbers work for you, a 15 year mortgage has its added attractions. In a nutshell, you pay less interest over the period of the loan, so it’s less out of pocket at the end of the day (or mortgage, in this case). Over fifteen years, this time reduction can result in considerable savings. read more »

With uncertainty in the markets and the credit crunch putting a squeeze on our daily finances, homeowners have faced difficult circumstances when it comes to the financial implications of owning a home.
One of the most common methods for helping to ease financial uncertainty is a payment holiday. With rising unemployment levels and the financial markets going through a turbulent time, many banks and building societies are under pressure to pass on savings to customers and help eliminate some of their personal debt.
Mortgage rates and other financial products in the UK have fluctuated during this difficult time, with property values and also the cost of home insurance seeing big rises in response to the financial climate. With the government now putting pressure on banks to pass on savings to customers, calls to the Consumer Credit Counselling Service have increased in recent weeks, with many consumers seeking solutions to their financial problems.
Payment holidays can be saving a grace if you’re struggling with payments on your mortgage, and also during situations such as wedding preparations and bereavements, however many are put off by the fear of asking the bank in the first place, and with market conditions the way they are many believe it to be unlikely that they will agree to such terms. read more »

Most Americans have errors and other unverifiable notices on their credit reports that can be bringing down their over-all credit score. There’s a very good chance that even YOUR credit score is lower than it SHOULD be! Sadly though, there is a good chance that you will be like most of the millions of Americans who will continue to suffer with an unfair credit score because you haven’t done anything to fix your credit.
Most Americans want to believe that the current credit reporting system that we use works; that people “earn” their bad credit scores and that there is nothing that can be done to fix it other than wait out the seven (7) years. This is simply not the case. Studies have proven that the current credit scoring system is flawed. This is why the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other consumer protection legislation give you the ability to do something about it. They give you the legal right to know and challenge items on your credit score. read more »
