Banks Finally Forced to Payout 0

Feb26

As a result of a directive from the Financial Services Agency, Banks in the United Kingdom are now being instructed to return fees to clients they are deemed to have overcharged. This is of major significance to those involved within the areas of Debt Management, Debt Settlement and Bankruptcy in general as these figures could be quite substantial overall

Long overdue, this affair could cost in excess of £300 million at the end of the day. Part of the problem lies with potential conflict of interest scenarios whereby the conveyancing quite often is carried out by the Banks own appointed “Panel Solicitor” who are unlikely to question too deeply any of the banks own imposed charges. The Lawyers feel that there quite often is case for being removed from a lenders panel if they were to question the ethics of the transaction and to be honest it is always better to have an independent conveyancing professional supervise this type of transaction anyway.

To put it simply, the problem is as follows. At the outset of any agreed Mortgage or Loan there is always the fine print that entails what additional charges there are that need to be settled in the event of early settlement. It’s funny this (actually it’s tragic but that is another issue) but these issues are very rarely to be seen when they are busy trying to prostitute themselves into trying to get you to do a deal with them in the first place.

Back to the matter in hand, the points referred to, cover a wide variety of issues and one of which relates to the cost of early redemption of the mortgage. This last fact is quite ludicrous as if they haven’t made enough out of you during the term of the deal but that is another issue. The bottom line is that your lender shouldn’t make alterations to your agreed amounts without your prior acceptance of these changes. If they do (which some of them have done) then you should complain to the Financial Services Watchdog – the Financial Ombudsman.

If you think you have spotted any changes then the first thing you and/or representative should do is go through your original agreement with a fine tool. If they are insisting on more and have dreamed up some spurious excuse for this and you don’t agree then threaten them with the Watchdog and don’t take this lying down! If they refuse or give you some sort of lousy explanation that we all know smells then complain and threaten them with the Ombudsman. This usually is enough to get them to cough up the money as at the end of the day none of our glorious financial institutions likes the bad publicity of being dragged through the Courts and also the papers!

As in all areas of negotiations then as a matter of course do not accept the first offering that they deign to throw at you. I have a client who has just settled a matter with the UK’s largest Mortgage lender (you know who you are) over a dispute over interest charges and they initially offered him a derisory £25 compensation figure and when the agreement was finally settled it end up at £379!

So the moral of the story is? Always (repeat always several times) check the fine print of any contract before you sign it and if someone tries to “slip something past you” without you knowing and you find out? The sooner that you disabuse them of this notion, the better for you and for some of the other silent borrowers that these institutions have either “ripped off” over the years or are trying to rip off now! Howl and complain as loud as you can!

With today’s economic crisis, many people are finding it more and more difficult to qualify for bank financing on a home.  The restrictions and requirements to qualifying are now very hard to meet, and if you qualify, you can expect problems if you are late with even one payment.  If you are self-employed or have had credit problems in the past, you can expect many more difficulties with financing.

If you have had difficulties in the past with selling a home, we can help.  With no credit check properties, low down payments, and reasonable monthly payment, you can be in your new home quickly.  If you need to sell your property, contact us to see how we sell house properties for a fair and honest price.

 

Freight Bill Factoring – a Transportation Financing Alternative 0

Feb24

Managing cash flow is one of the biggest challenges that transportation company owners have today. This applies both to carriers and freight brokers who must balance slow paying clients and suppliers that demand quick payments. It is not uncommon to have clients that pay in 30 to 45 days and drivers and suppliers who want to be paid quickly.

This is particularly challenging for new and growing companies who may not have strong cash positions. Traditionally, business owners deal with this problem by asking clients for quick payments. Sadly, this strategy seldom works as clients, who usually have the upper hand, will insist in paying in 45 days. An alternative that many consider is obtaining business financing through their local institution. However, most will not qualify for a business loans as banks usually have strict lending criteria. So, if a business loan is not an option – what is?

Fortunately there is a solution and it involves factoring your freight bills. This type of financing provides you with the cash flow you need to pay your business expenses and grow your company. Freight bill factoring provides you with a 90% advance (or higher) on your freight bills. Once your client pays the freight bill, you get the remaining 10%, less a small fee.

Factoring has a number of advantages over conventional financing. First, it’s very easy to obtain. The biggest requirement is that you do business with reputable and credit worthy clients. Second, it can be setup quickly, usually in a matter of days. But more importantly, freight factoring is flexible and tied to your sales. This means that your financing levels increase as your sales increase.

Factoring is also cost effective. Costs vary based on a number of parameters, but they range between 1.5% and 3.5% per month. When used properly it can help your company grow dramatically and serve as a crucial stepping stone to eventually obtaining bank financing.

Business And Banking: A Partnership Forged In Success 0

Feb23

It was clear that from the formation of the first banks it would be businesses that would feel the advantage a lot more than any other section of society. Banks themselves owe their standing in the economic world due to the entrepreneurship of middle age traders. Savings at that time were minimal amongst vast swathes of society and most of those rich enough simply kept their gold stashed away. The first to take advantage of the new financial houses were those who wanted the capital to embark on grand expeditions.


Using banks to loan the money and then invest the returns, the world of business banking and financial backing was firmly established. Today’s business accounts are comparable in principle, although the paperwork has become a lot more complicated. Modern banks serve much the same purpose enabling businesses preferential rates in order to make starting out in business that little bit easier and accessible to budding young entrepreneurs.


The ways in which the modern day business account differs from its middle aged predecessor are vast. Banks now provide a wide range of business support facilities; these include a wide selection of literature covering all aspects of business management twinned with interactive CD-Rom support for easy access and a constant source of reference.


Added to these hard copy resources, a modern business account offers the one to one support of a business manager; this experienced individual will assist creating ideas and further plans on the direction of a business and provide the expertise you need to succeed. This business advice can also inform on up to date legislation changes, which are essential to many businesses to stay on the right side of the law.


Another aspect to commencing a business account is to get the bank manager on side. It may sound obvious but appearing professional and well turned out will make all the difference. When applying for financial assistance ensure your business proposal is concise and thorough, this well help in getting results. Show how you will repay any loans taken by giving a precise idea of how and when these payments will be made. Try to avoid the ‘head in the sand’ syndrome, if things start to go wrong and a cash flow problem arises, keep the bank informed, they will be far happier with this than you ignoring all their phone calls.


Finding the right business account is also vital, with such a wide selection on the market today it can be a difficult task, an emphasis must be placed on shopping around. The most important thing to consider is what service your business account needs to provide, do you need to cash business cheques? How important to your business is electronic money transfers, or direct debits? Remember, this is the world of up to the minute internet banking; this can make life much easier. As can the use of telephone banking, keeping you up to date on your financial movements in a precise manner. It is important to identify how each of these aspects will affect your choice of business account as it could be the making or the breaking of your business.


Remember that the offers bandied about by the banks may entice you and be extremely helpful for the first eighteen months, it is easy to get caught up with the offers and neglect how the bank’s rates will affect you long term. Always try to choose a business account that will benefit you in terms of interest and maintenance charges once the honeymoon period is over. Negotiating such rates is always advisable, as the saying goes, ‘count the pennies and the pounds will follow’.
