  • Adverse Credit Boom Prompts Questions
    Over the last year, there’s been a flurry of product launches, as lenders pile into this nascent market. Some of the new entrants in 2005 included the Bristol & West, Victoria Mortgages and Beacon Homeloans, while investment banks Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley are in the process of setting out their stalls.
  • Credit Card Safety – Chip And Pin Not Enough
    Credit cards and debit cards are viewed as relatively secure methods of making purchases; however as with any security measure there are people who will try to find their way around it. Various increasingly complex methods have been devised to access bank accounts by obtaining the consumer's details such as scanning and copying the electronic strip on the back of the card to create duplicates which can be used to siphon off funds.
  • Debit Card Stats Outline Payday Loan Flexibility
    Research from Apacs released earlier this week provided the news that debit card purchases have, for the first time in history, outstripped cash spending in terms of the amount of money splashed out – underlining the flexibility which people today appreciate when it comes to making everyday buys.
  • Debt Management For The Normal Joe
    In today’s money orientated society it is hard to pursue your life’s need and desires without that big salary that we all wish we could earn. On a normal monthly salary it’s usually just manageable to feed and clothe the family and pay the bills. So when a minor crisis such as a non-serious car crash, or the washing machine breaking down can be turned in a mountain sized problem if you just don’t have the cash to sort it.
  • Doorstep Lenders Receiving Unwanted Interest
    Unwanted interest has come from sources including industry regulator, the Competition Commission (CC), following an Office of Fair Trading (OFT) investigation which was in turn sparked by a super-complaint lodged by the National Consumer Council (NCC).
  • Excessive Bank Account And Credit Card Charges Attacked As Unfair And Possibly Illegal
    One missed credit card payment, or going overdrawn without permission, and suddenly a £30 charge can be incurred. Bank charges can seem unfair and too harsh given the frequently tiny amounts of unauthorized borrowing involved. Now it seems that the law could be in agreement.
  • Football Fans Can Get To See All Of The Games This Year
    The ever-increasing season ticket prices means a lot of fans struggle to watch all of their team’s matches. With the price of even just a championship season ticket being around £400 most fans can struggle to foot the bill, even if their team isn’t in the expensive premiership. This will mean that football’s best fans wont be able to support their team, just simply because they can’t afford it.
  • Judging The Hidden Costs Of Credit Cards
    Recent reports from CreditAction and the National Debtline appear to show that UK consumers are becoming more financially aware and are looking to reduce their levels of personal debt which have spiraled seemingly out of control over the past few years.
  • Lifestyle Banking – Living For Pay Day
    For some people it comes mid-month, for others at month’s end. Occasionally it comes right at the start of the month – just in time for you to watch those figures plummet.
  • Mias Calls On Mortgage Lenders To Fix Their Exit Fees
    MIAS, the Mortgage and Insurance Advisory Services (http://www.mias-ltd.co.uk ), is concerned that, despite the recent publicity and various campaigns in the press, borrowers are still being stung by punitive exit fees.
  • Navigating Insurance For Students And Searching Out The Right Financial Solution For UK Parents
    Students are often portrayed as being lazy, indolent, or, perhaps most damningly of all: scruffy. But today’s students are often more active and involved than their parents, and they demand the rewards that come with this behaviour. Valuable pieces of equipment are de rigueur in many of the UK’s student halls; parents having lavished attention upon their offspring in the form of gifts, money and, increasingly, credit cards – cards immediately used to go out and purchase more ...
  • Reform Aimed At Personal Finance And UK Savings
    The Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) has issued a report which supports the Pension Commission's recent demand for reform in the structure of the basic state pension. In fact the report goes further than simply backing the report, it calls for reforms to be implemented more rapidly than the Commission has recommended.
  • Signing For Your Card Transaction Is Now A Thing Of The Past
    From Valentines Day (14th February) 2006 a signature is not good enough for you to purchase goods in the UK using your debit or credit card. Chip and PIN technology has been around for years, but before now it has still been an option that you may sign for your card transaction. Now, however, that luxury has been taken away. No longer will a signature be enough proof that the card you are using is yours.
  • The Long Financial Winter – Protect Your Home
    This time of year is always financially hard for families who may have over spent between Christmas and the New Year. Last year house repossessions in the 1st half of the year were 33% higher than at the end of the year. The Council of Mortgage Lenders stated that “The number of properties taken into possession rose from 3070 in the second half of 2004 to 4640 at the start of 2005”
  • UK Consumers Start Clawing Their Way Out Of The Financial Debt Pit
    Another year ended, and another round of UK debt statistics. CreditAction has just announced the latest summing up of the personal debt situation in the UK.
