Advanta Credit Card Scam

July 18th, 2010

I sit at my desk completely frustrated with Advanta. I opened up a business credit card with them 3 years ago and made a purchase of $6500 to help build my business credit for Rapid Recovery Solution, my Collection Agency. I have paid more then the minimum every month, on time. Three months ago I noticed that my interest rate seemed a little high. No where on my statement did it say the actual interest rate so I called the company. After 10 min or so I get a live rep on the line and they tell me it is 36.1%. Are they kidding, this must be a mistake. I have over a 750 score and never missed a payment. They said they sent me a notice in Aug that they are doing this due to a change in there lending methods. It turns out this is the second time this year they did this. I went from 8.99% in Jan 08 to 18.99 in Feb 08 to 36.1% in Aug 08.

Now, being in the industry for over 10 years I know that I need to watch my credit. I look for charges I didn’t make and it is tough to scam me. I have seen it all but this takes the cake. They told me I am now at a high risk for default so that is why they raised my interest rate? That doesn’t make any sense. They should lower my rate if they think I will default on my credit card. How will an increase in what you are charging me keep me from defaulting. Luckily, I have the ability to pay off this card today but I want everyone to realize that these companies have you by the short-n-curly’s. Watch your statements and lookout for this scam.

FYI, In NY, the maximum interest rate is 30%. They are charging me more then the maximum allowed in my state. I will send a letter to the BBB, the NY Attorney General, the UT Attorney General and the Department of Consumer Affairs.

As a nation we are in deep trouble. If a credit card company can just raise my rate because they feel like it I am positive that 99% of their customers are also paying 36.1%. How many other credit card companies are doing this to innocent people? We need to fight back. I am going to tell as many people as I can.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do except payoff the card. I was told I am a high credit risk. I paid the bill in full after I realized the rate was so high and the next month I received another bill for more finance charges for about $255. I paid that bill in full. I just received another bill in the mail for $5.65 and my rate was changed to 37.99%. Another point higher.

Just for cookies and giggles I called again to see why the rate went up again and they said “Sir, you have been classified as a very high credit risk and as a company we can’t risk you not paying your bill with us.” I said “I just paid my bill in full with your company, I have never had a late payment with your company in three years, I have one mortgage on my house for $290K, 25 years left at a fixed rate of 5.375% and it is worth over $500k and almost zero credit card debt personally. I am in the fastest growing industry right now, CNBC expects the debt collection industry to grow at 25% a year for the next decade. What else would I have to do to receive a better rate?” The extremely rude lady said “Sir, you would need to send a letter to Santa Clause and maybe he can help you out.”

The Government should put a maximum rate in place for the next year or so on all credit card debt. If the credit card companies are truly worried about consumers defaulting on their obligations, wouldn’t it make more sense to lower the rate so we can continue to make the payments? By raising the rate, it only makes it harder to pay and more likely that a consumer will default. The credit card companies are preying on the weak right now hoping you don’t pay so they can pound you with the highest interest rate. When you do default, they now have a higher balance to sell to a collection agency. In my eyes, this is a crime.

The Government doesn’t care either. Instead of giving the banks 350 billion dollars, They could have sent $1151.98 to each US citizen to pay towards credit card debt. The banks still get the money but we the people get a little break on our bill. The average family of four would receive $4607.92 to pay off a credit card. They reason that the banks need the money so they can lend money again to us? Are they crazy? All the banks did was raise the interest rates on our cards and pocket the money without ever having to say what the money went towards. No accountability!

Now the geniuses in Washington are considering giving billions to the auto industry so they can produce more shit cars that we can’t afford. How about giving the money to everybody with a current auto loan so we can pay for the car we already have. The money would still flow to the banks and auto makers via we the people.

Good luck America, your gonna need a miracle.

I feel better now. I was very upset prior to writing this blog. I hope everybody reading this realizes that if it can happen to me it can happen to anybody.

S1 Attorney – S1 Filing – How To Take Your Company Public

July 17th, 2010

I wish I could say that I wasn’t writing this article from experience but that would be a lie. I wish I could say that chemistry is never an issue between the consultant, S1 attorney and newly elected board members but that would be nave.

The truth is some attorneys who perform great on some public offerings are an absolute nightmare on other transactions. Some board members with a gargantuan size portfolio of contacts are worth the aggravation on some deals but on others fall flat on their face as they try to take the whole company to the ground with them. The reality is qualifying an attorney for the process of an S1 filing goes far beyond whether they’ve got time and experience under their belt. You need to ask the more difficult questions that are almost impossible to test for such as, how do they react in stressful situations? Are they open to stepping outside of their comfort zone to engage in cutting edge filing strategies to speed up the offering process? Do they help with the fundraising? Are they able to refer a PCAOB auditor and a market maker to file the 15c211? These are things that need to be addressed with your S1 attorney but are difficult to actually test beforehand.

Each lawyer is different and all I can say is sit down with them and drill them with a million different questions from a multitude of angles to test their knowledge and their patience. Watch their facial expressions, hand gestures, eye and forehead shift. Look for a bouncing leg or foot and other nervous habits and what questions did you ask to trigger this nervous twitch?

The same techniques can be used for qualifying a board member. The only way to get the best idea of whether there is a fit is to push them to the brink during the interview?

Be careful with this as many qualified professionals could easily take this challenge as disrespect and they’ll walk so don’t be rude or arrogant but with a placid look on your face and a calm voice, drill them and drill them hard.

Many consultants in this industry, myself included had to learn this lesson the hard way and took a lot of time and effort to correct the mistake of bringing on the wrong individual for the solution we were seeking. This is an extremely high stress industry and the environment is constantly at 100 degrees.

Concentrate on being calm, forward thinking, compromising on some issues and uncompromising on others, write down 10 pages of questions and when you sit down with the candidate ask all those questions and other questions that come to mind during the meeting. Test them, push them and get the right person for the job.

Deciding Between Cash-Basis And Accrual Accounting

July 15th, 2010

The method that you use to maintain a thorough record of your finances for the purposes of keeping tabs on your cash flow and financial reports is known as your accounting method. When doing record keeping, you can either use the accrual basis or cash basis. Those of you who run a small business have to figure out the preferred method of bookkeeping you want to use in order to keep compliant with the IRS, among other things.

In order to stay abreast of tax laws, you have to keep records of your finances. Also, managers can use this information to learn how the company is doing money-wise, which will help them make decisions on its future. While you can switch up accounting methods down the road, it helps things along much better if you pick the right one from the beginning and stick with it, so weigh your options carefully.

When you use the cash method for accounting records, you will record income and expenses as it is transferred from your accounts in real time – instead of writing down when you made the commitment to spend money, you write down when it actually left your hands. Also, you write down when you actually received money, instead of when you intended to take money in. This makes it possible to delay billing and expedite payments so you do not have to pay income taxes on some of it until the next business year.

You can get a lot of benefits with the cash method; namely, compared to accrual method, it is a far easier to look at, it gives you a much better idea of how your finances are doing, and you do not have to get taxed on certain expenses till the following year. Due to the fact that you are altering the times at which you pay and take in money, though, you might tend to adjust details of how your company is doing financially, which can be misleading. What’s more, accrual methods work harder to show when you actually spend and took in money.

With the accrual system, when you earn the revenue you record it, and when you spend money you record it. It does not matter when the money actually leaves your hands, just when you made the intention of spending or taking it in. While accrual methods give you a better idea of how your company acted in the financial year, and it gives you an idea of the bigger picture, it is a lot harder to figure out than cash methods, and you would have to pay income taxes on revenue before you even get it.

A home is also a place you are heading to for relaxation, private moments, or just to lose the tiresome. So, it is obvious that you will need to make the best decision to choose the best living place for you and your family. Before hunting the houses for sale, there are some important points you should know such as the special category and the specific type of the houses for sale. These are the common things to learn before you make the decision.

In the real estate market, there are three categories that cover the houses for sale. These categories include a house for sale with a clear title, a house of sale that is under foreclosure, or a house for sale that is foreclosed upon by the government. In general opinion regarding USA’s real estate market, the common category of houses for sale with clear title gets pretty tough pressure from the foreclosed units. This way will decrease the prices in an extremely huge amount. However, even though through this category you will find the price is quite costly, it can be safer choice because there are papers and conditions included.

Furthermore, speaking of foreclosure houses for sale category, you will be provided with three divisions which are the pre-foreclosure house for sale, the house for sale at the foreclosure auction, and the REO or real estate owned house for sale after being repossessed by the banks. Through the pre-foreclosure stage, there is a short sale happens. You can meet the satisfying low price as well as a good condition or shape of the house about to sell.

It is unquestionable true that you can get the cheapest offer of the houses for sale in the foreclosure auction, however, the condition of the house is the worst and you are not allowed to examine the houses because those houses are sold on as-is basis. Moreover, among the previous divisions, the REO units are certainly priced higher, but it doesn’t mean that there is no option offered. The banks are providing huge discounts whenever you are interested in repossessing the homes you like.

Apart from the foreclosure of the houses for sale category above, you can find many other types of houses for sale in the real estate market. For instance, Duplex offers you the two stacked apartments on different floors. Specifically, two family-homes can be a good choice of a small apartment house. Commonly, an apartment will provide you bathing cooking, and sleeping facilities and people sometimes see it as flat. Furthermore, an apartment tower consists of block or flats.

Another type is condo. It is an individual apartment with certain common areas, whereas garden flat included at the ground level in a multi-level building. With higher price, penthouse is positioned on the top level of a multistory building. Other popular types are studio or bachelor apartment with its single room, a kitchenette, and a bath, and another one is lofts or warehouse conversions. The last one is the garage apartment.

Take A Hike With Mountain Personal Bank Checks

May 27th, 2010

If you are looking for a way to make your personal checks more appealing and exciting, and you enjoy the stately feeling of mountains, then you may want to consider joining the two and carrying mountain inspired checks. They are most likely not as costly as you think they might be and they provide a great way of exhibiting your creativity and personality.

Mountains are mystifying things. They are imposing and impressive and provide glimpses into the record of our earth and its wide-ranging history. Mountains are also eternally changing. Time, animals, erosion, and people have distorted the appearance and feel of mountains throughout time. For instance, the Appalachian Mountains used to be larger than the Himalayas and now some people hardly consider them to be mountains at all.

For those that follow more naturalistic styles of faith, mountains are thought to possess immense power and captivation. You can regularly come across spiritual centers positioned on mountain tops, where the panorama can certainly be stimulating.

For the hiker, walker, trekker, or backpacker, climbing up to the top of a steep mountain can be challenging and rewarding and offer a sense of accomplishment that few things are able to provide.

There is an assortment of mountain inspired checks to select from. For instance, the National Park checks contain dazzling images of some of the most admired parks in the country including the Great Smoky Mountains, Arches National Park, Grand Teton, Acadia, and Yosemite.

If you are searching for something more inspirational then you can also find checks series that contain beautiful images of mountains along with scripture verses as well. These uplifting checks contain 4 designs in the series so that each check you write will be different from the one before it.

Several of the different check series include striking photographs of mountains. Still, it is also possible to discover check designs that have paintings and imaginative renderings of mountains, too. These can be just as charming to have and carry.

If you enjoy viewing dazzling landscapes, then the “Scenes of America” checks might call to you. These contain 8 rotating designs and several of the images include mountains. The checks are brilliantly depicted and you might have difficulty giving them away since each of them is akin to a miniature work of art.

Most check design series have matching accessories that can be purchased at an additional cost. For example, you might want to consider purchasing a matching leather checkbook cover, or coordinating address labels and contact cards to go with your checks in order to complete your ensemble.

Despite what check design series you settle on, you can be guaranteed that when you purchase them online from a protected site you can save as much as 50% off the price of them. You will also have a large variety of checks designs to pick from, too, so you won’t have to settle for a design that you don’t like.

Before you order mountain checks, go to MountainChecks.com to find coupon codes and to save up to 50% off your next purchase of mountain personal checks.

Reverse Mortgages: Time To Take Another Look

May 27th, 2010

Reverse mortgage volume has grown incredibly over the last ten years. As more and more seniors require additional solutions to meet their retirement needs, these products have filled a very important void. However, recent real estate market conditions and high closing costs have pushed many otherwise-eligible borrowers away from these loans.

While the significant fees associated with these products and the depreciation of home values has hurt reverse mortgage growth rates, the industry must accept much of the responsibility for the lack of reverese mortgage popularity among seniors. Strong sales tactics and lack of consumer education has created significant misunderstanding related to these loans. However, recent market conditions and the elimination of many fees by lenders may make for the ideal opportunity for borrowers to take another look at what reverse mortgages have to offer.

In the first part of this year, lenders started slashing reverse mortgage fees. This has led to an incredible borrowing opportunity for seniors. In some cases, these borrowers have seen their overall costs of taking out a reverse mortgage reduced by $10,000 or more. This has undoubtably put more money in these borrowers’ pockets and has created a more beneficial product.

With this increasing competition, however, a surge in aggressive marketing tactics my many reverse mortgage companies has been in full force. While these products are cheaper than ever before, consumers must be careful when dealing with mortgage brokers who are more interested in closing a deal than providing valuable information to the consumer. For this reason, it is now more important than ever that consumers work with a mortgage broker that will take the time to teach them about their options and educate the borrower as to the variety of products available in the marketplace.

Reverse mortgages can be tricky. However a good mortgage professional can cut through the difficulties and explain the loan’s terms in a simplified fashion. When selecting a broker, make sure you find someone who’s interested in learning about your needs and not just selling you a loan. By taking the necessary precautions now, you can save yourself signficant headaches in the future.
