December 12th, 2010 admin Women gathered to take pictures and children clapped and cheered as Mayrse Wirbal stepped up to the edge of a large, inflatable slide and jumped, laughing and shrieking in delight on her way down. Wirbal, chief executive officer of Nashua Pastoral Care Center, a nonprofit organization that assists families at risk of homelessness, was one of many employees and residents of the care center’s transitional housing unit Norwell House that attended a party at Jump On In in Nashua on Wednesday night. Jump On In is an indoor inflatable playground, complete with slides, trampolines and climbing structures. The party was funded by the Telegraph Santa Fund, the holiday assistance program created by the publisher of The Telegraph nearly 50 years ago. The care center is one of the distributors of the Santa Fund. The party was open to all of the women and children who live in NPCC’s transitional housing and featured a visit from Santa Claus, who gave a new toy to each child in attendance. According to Wirbal, Wednesday’s party was the only time many of the children who live in the care center’s transitional housing had been to a place like Jump On In because their families simply cannot afford it. Still, Wirbal said the party is just as much a benefit for the mothers as it is for the kids. “The mothers can come together, relax and watch their children have fun,” Wirbal said while watching a mother and son playing basketball at the party Wednesday night. “(Jump On In) is a great place because the mothers can play with their kids so it’s good bonding time.” One of the mothers, Brittany Silvio, agreed, adding that many of the kids living at the care center ‘s transitional housing have had to grow up quickly and that the party Wednesday night helped them remember how to be kids. Silvio is one of the care center ‘s success stories: She and her son just moved out of the center’s transitional housing unit last Saturday. Silvio first moved into Norwell House two years ago after experiencing domestic violence. Since living there, Silvio has earned an associate’s degree in criminal justice from Hesser College and has plans to earn her bachelor’s degree and become an attorney. Without the help of the care center , Silvio said, her and her son’s life would be very different. “They gave me the stepping stones to get me on the road I needed to be on,” Silvio said Wednesday night.

November 3rd, 2010 admin It may sound strange that homeownership has anything to do with unsecured loan. However, being a homeowner can provide you with some benefits when applying for an unsecured loan. And this is due to the fact that homeownership has important implications for the lender in terms of reducing risk.
Risk is an important issue when it comes to loans, whichever the loan nature is. But when it comes to unsecured loans, the risk has an additional importance that makes any variable that reduces risk excellent news. And so, homeownership will affect Unsecured Loans terms and approval in several ways.
Unsecured Loans – No Collateral
Unsecured loans as opposed to secured loans do not require any asset to be provided as collateral to guarantee the loan repayment. Collateral reduces the risk of lending because the lender can repossess the property and get his money back in such way. Due to the lack of collateral, unsecured loans feature a higher risk for the lender.
As a consequence of this greater risk, unsecured loans carry higher interest rates than secured loans. There are different kinds of unsecured loans with increasing rates due to the increasing risk of the transaction. Personal Unsecured loans have the lowest interest rates and cash advance loans have the highest interest rates. Some unsecured student loans have lower rates but this is due to the fact that they are subsidized by the government or private institutions.
Homeownership
Homeownership reduces the risk implied in any loan transaction whether it is a secured loan or an unsecured loan. Even if the property is not directly securing the loan, it is still a guarantee of repayment because eventually all the borrower’s asset guarantee his legal and financial obligations.
The risk reduction will consequently imply a reduction on the interest rate charged for the loan. This is the reason why more and more home owners are requesting unsecured loans instead of secured loans. The interest rate charged is not that higher and they drive away the risk of repossession providing more flexibility for negotiation in case things go wrong.
Risk Management
Since risk is so important when it comes to unsecured loan’s approval, reducing the risk has become a theme of great importance. As stated above, being a homeowner reduces the risk and thus, it also reduces the interest rate. However, if you want to further reduce the risk there are additional measures that can be taken.
It is important to show the lender a good credit report. Due to past delinquencies you may not be able to do so. In that case, you need to create a perfect recent credit history. This will imply some patience since you need to pay all your bills on time avoiding late payments and missed payments for at least six months. This period of time is what most lenders take into account when considering unsecured loan’s applications. Once your credit report shows a stainless recent credit history you can apply for your loan with confidence.

October 7th, 2010 admin HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — China faces risks of growing debt levels and surging investment, areas that could potentially be problematic for the country’s credit rating in the event of an economic cooling, according to Fitch Ratings. The rating agency said there’s little immediate threat to the nation’s A+ rating, adding that it has assigned China a stable outlook, but added that it is aware of downside risks to China’s growth profile, said Fitch’s head analyst for Asia Pacific Sovereigns, Andrew Colquhoun, according to Dow Jones Newswires. “The banks and the investment are the two main downside areas that we look to,” Colquhoun was cited as saying in the report. China grew its bank lending by about a third in 2009, and is one track for a double-digit increase this year, the report said.
