Is applying for an IVA a good idea?

November 3, 2011 – 6:28 pm

An IVA could improve your life in five years time

The eighties saw the start of the Individual Voluntary Arrangement Plans that we now know. Those with unsecured debts of more than £15,000 often apply for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement Plan (IVA), or a PTD in Scotland. This plan is one of only two debt solutions that can write off part of your debt bankruptcy is the second option.

If 75% of creditors agree to the IVA proposal, it becomes legally binding. Interest on the debts is frozen and the debtor may not apply for more credit elsewhere. Unpaid debts at the end of this 60-month term are written off. Creditors may not make any claims against assets after the IVA has been agreed upon.

This agreement depends on having monthly repayments made as set out in the IVA agreement. This will ensure that creditors can take no further legal action against the debtor.

An IVA is a legally binding agreement; therefore you must be confident that you can afford repayments.

Jim Rogers: Greece Deal Won’t Save Europe

November 3, 2011 – 11:29 am

Investing legend Jim Rogers said that although the latest Eurozone deal for Greece is more generous than he expected, its not enough to solve Europes problems.

Politicians have delayed addressing the problem yet again, Rogers told Investment Week. It will come back in a few weeks or a few months and the world will still have the same problem, but this time only worse because the European Central Bank and other countries will be deeper in debt.

The deal European leaders hammered out on Thursday includes boosting the regions rescue fund to $1.4 trillion (1 trillion euros) and asking bondholders to take a voluntary 50% haircut on Greek debt.

Rogers said while the deal isnt enough to fix the issues, the haircut was more than he expected.

Improving housing markets could boost refinance option

October 29, 2011 – 4:08 pm

 

Two new surveys show that housing markets could be improving in the coming year. If you live in one of these areas, rising home values could provide the boost you need in home equity to qualify for a new mortgage at a reduced rate. While you wait for home values to rise, you should also be working on boosting your credit score by paying all your bills on time and reducing your debt. A higher credit score will not only improve your chances of qualifying for mortgage refinancing, but it will also make it possible to be approved for a lower interest rate.

Improving Markets Index

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) released their second edition of their Improving Markets Index (IMI) on October 6, 2011. This new index, which tracks markets that show signs of economic improvement, measures:

• Employment growth from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
• House price appreciation data from Freddie Mac
• Single family housing permit growth from the U.S.

Welfare changes will lead to big rise in poverty

October 26, 2011 – 8:14 am

According to a report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), Government welfare changes will mean there will be 3.1 million children in poverty in the UK by 2013.

Typical families will see their annual income fall by around £2,000 by the year 2013, warned the IFS, pushing 600,000 more children into poverty.

The independent financial research organisation said the current economic situation is partly the reason for the rise in poverty, as well as the Government’s welfare overhaul.

In the Government’s emergency budget in June 2010, it was revealed that the benefits system would be in line for a radical overhaul.

The massive overhaul is aimed at helping people get back to work but, at the same time, end the situation where some risk losing out financially if they take a job.

The Government has already announced reductions to the child tax credits system, while child benefit was frozen.

However, a spokesperson for the Department for Work and Pensions said benefits changes would tackle poverty by making work pay.

Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, recently said the radical welfare reforms are designed to make a life on benefits “no longer an option”.

The massive overhaul is aimed at helping people get back to work but, at the same time, end the situation where some risk losing out financially if they take a job.

The Government is proposing a Universal Credit, which is designed to replace six income-related work-based benefits.

Meanwhile, commenting on the projections by the IFS, Barnardos chief executive Anne Marie Carrie said: The projected figures for child poverty revealed today are a tragedy.

This isnt just about statistics as every day thousands of families are being forced into making choices between heating or eating, she added.

The IFS report comes at a time when households are also being squeezed by higher inflation, rising unemployment and sluggish wage growth.
