			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, Congress allowed an important window of opportunity to remain openone that enables IRA owners age 701/2 or older to directly transfer up to $100,000 tax-free to charity in both 2008 and 2009. Because this provision applies to every individual IRA holder, a husband and wife who both meet the minimum age threshold could effectively move $400,000 out of their taxable estate over the next two tax years.Is Transferring Money from Your IRA to a Charity Right for You?The ability to transfer money tax-free from your IRA to contribute to a charity can be an excellent way to advance both your philanthropic and estate plans. While you will not receive a charitable deduction for a transfer from your IRA to a charity, the amount of your transfer will never be included in your gross income.If you fit any of the following profiles, we encourage you to contact your financial and tax advisor before year-end to help determine if this provision is appropriate for you.? Are you 701?2 and already receiving your required minimum distributions (RMDs)? Any IRA holder who has reached the age of 701?2 is eligible to make the tax-free transfer of funds from his or her IRA to a public charity. Also at 701?2, the IRA holder starts to receive the taxable required minimum distributions (RMDs) from his or her IRA. Accordingly, at year-end, many charitable-minded IRA holders with excess RMD amounts would prefer to use these funds for charitable contributions. The 2006 Pension Act permits an IRA holder to distribute either a portion or all of his or her RMD tax-free directly from his or her IRA by transferring any amount up to a total of $100,000 to a favorite qualified public charity. The IRA holder reduces his or her taxable income by the amount distributed and the charity receives a contribution. ? Do you have a large IRA that likely will be subject to estate taxes at death? IRA assets are subject to estate taxes and estate beneficiaries may have to pay income taxes on IRA assets they inherit. Using the IRA charitable distribution provision permits an IRA holder to reduce the size of his or her estate, thereby reducing the total amount of taxes imposed.? Do you take the standard deduction when calculating your taxes or do you itemize? Many retirees take the standard deduction when calculating their income-tax liability because they dont generate enough deductible expenses or income to make itemizing worthwhile. As a result, they could be losing out on the tax advantages of deducting their charitable donations. An IRA holder who uses the tax-free IRA charitable-distribution provision as a way to make charitable contributions will be able to obtain the tax benefit of the contribution without having to itemize his or her deductions.? Are you collecting Social Security? An IRA holder who collects Social Security is also required to receive the RMD from his or her IRA at age 701?2. The amount of the RMD could increase income to a level where a portion of your Social Security benefit is taxable. By using the IRA charitable distribution provision, the IRA holder may reduce total income and thereby reduce the taxes imposed on Social Security benefits.? Are you interested in donating more than 50% of your annual income in 2008 or 2009, or both years? Typically, a donor may only deduct a cash contribution to a charity up to 50% of his or her adjusted gross income (AGI) in any given year. Any excess charitable contribution deductions are carried over to the following five years. By using the tax-free IRA charitable-distribution provision to transfer money directly from an IRA to a charity, the donor effectively &#8220;skips&#8221; the 50% AGI charitable deduction limitation. Therefore, an IRA holder may donate up to $100,000 per year in 2008 and 2009 from his or her IRA without having to worry about the 50% AGI charitable deduction limitation. An IRA holder who has a large IRA may use this method to reduce its size during his or her lifetime leaving less exposed to income and estate taxes at death.? Did you wish to complete a gift to a charity for a particular purpose? Charitable-minded individuals may have in mind ambitious programs such as underwriting a research project or sponsoring a scholarship program at their alma mater, but had been hampered from making any contributions by current tax laws such as the 50% AGI charitable contribution limitation for cash contributions discussed in the previous paragraph. The IRA charitable-distribution provision may be an ideal strategy that would enable an IRA holder who wishes to make a substantial donation in 2008 or 2009 to fulfill these charitable goals in a tax-advantageous manner.? Do you live in a state with unfavorable tax rules for charitable deductions and RMDs? The ability to make a tax-free transfer to charity from an IRA could be especially appealing to residents in states that impose state income tax on IRA distributions and dont allow any offsetting charitable deductions. The 2006 Pension Act permits the IRA holder to make the charitable contribution directly to a qualified charity from his or her IRA and not have to treat the contribution as a taxable IRA distribution, thereby avoiding any state or local tax imposed on IRA distributions.Additional RequirementsAny IRA holder who takes advantage of the tax-free IRA charitable distribution must send a letter to the qualified charity informing the charity of the donation. Here are some important points to keep in mind:? You must be 701?2 on or before the date of the charitable transfer.? Contact us before making a donation to arrange for the proper transfer of funds from your IRA to the charitable organization.? You may not write a check to the charity from another account into which you transferred your IRA funds. Doing so would eliminate the tax-free treatment and would cause the amount distributed to be included in your taxable income.? Donor advised funds and most private foundations are prohibited from receiving IRA rollover gifts.? You cannot receive anything of value in return for your donation. For example, you cannot get tickets to a charitable event for your donation.? The transfer must come from a traditional or a Roth IRA. Transfers to a charity from other retirement plans, such as a SEP or SIMPLE IRA, or from a 401(k) or 403(b) plan will not qualify under this provision. It may be possible, however, to roll over funds from these accounts into a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA and then make an eligible transfer to charity.? A qualified charitable distribution is treated as coming first from deductible contributions and earnings. If you have made non-deductible contributions to your IRA, have your tax advisor determine how much of the donation is considered tax-free under this provision. After the IRA Charitable Distribution: Written Documentation RequirementCash donations, regardless of whether the contributions are made from an IRA or another source, must be backed up by &#8220;proper&#8221; records, such as a check, bank copy of the check, electronic funds transfer record, credit card or credit union statement, payroll stub or W-2 (in the case of a payroll deduction). These must show the name of the charity, the donation amount and the date paid or transaction posting date. A written acknowledgment from the charity showing that information also will suffice.Graeme H.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>37 Mortgage Servicers commit to Obama Plan <br/><br/>Are you having difficulty getting your mortgage servicer to work with you on a Making Home Affordable (MHA) loan modification? The below list of 37 mortgage servicers have committed by signed contract to this program. In addition, all servicers for mortgage loans owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are required to participate! If your home is in Illinois and you want to investigate whether you qualify for the home loan equivalent of Cash for Clunkers then contact a real estate attorney. The MHA program is the first real loan modification program that is making worthwhile modifications whereby homeowners come out of it with a payment they can afford. These modifications are proving to have a much lower re-default rate than previous half-hearted efforts that amounted to not much more than forbearance plans. Those stingy initial loss mitigation efforts resulted in such high re-default rates that the notion of continuing to modify mortgages at all became in serious doubt. Thankfully, the MHA program came along with a balanced view of lender, investor and finally HOMEOWNER interest in mind. <br/><br/>Examine the list of 37 servicers we know are participating. Your mortgage may also qualify if Fannie or Freddie own it. American Home Mortgage Servicing, Aurora Loan Services, Bank of America, Bayview Loan Servicing, CCO Mortgage Services, Chase Financial, CitiMortgage, Citizens First Wholesale Mortgage, Countrywide Home Loans, Farmers State Bank, First Bank, First Federal Savings and Loan, GMAC mortgage, Green Tree Servicing, Home Loan Services, IBM Southeast Employees Federal Credit Union, Lake National Bank, Mission Federal Credit Union, MorEquity, Mortgage Center, National City Bank, Nationstar Mortgage, Ocwen Financial Corp, PNC Bank, Purdue Employees Federal Credit Union, RG Mortgage Corp, Residential Credit Solutions, Saxon Mortgage Services, Select Portfolio Servicing, ShoreBank, Technology Credit Union, Wachovia Mortgage, Wachovia Bank, Wells Fargo, Wescom Central Credit Union, Wilshire Credit Corp. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cheapest credit counseling is the kind you do yourself, but if youre having trouble with that, you can find free or low-cost counseling from a variety of agencies and public entities. <br/><br/>Do-It-Yourself Counseling <br/><br/>Although its not technically counseling, you can do many of the things they do on your own. <br/><br/>Most services offer budgeting forms and money management advice. You can learn to budget your money by borrowing personal finance and budgeting books from the library or following advice available on websites like this. If you need budget software, you can find several free online sites to help track your spending and bills. <br/><br/>If your credit is decent, you can arrange a debt consolidation loan through a credit card balance transfer, personal loan, or home equity loan without involving a credit card counseling service. <br/><br/>You can also negotiate for lower interest rates directly, simply by calling your credit card company and asking. <br/><br/>Professional Free Credit Counseling <br/><br/>If youve tried all of the above on your own without success or feel you need professional help, you can find it free. Many reputable counseling agencies offer free counseling for those in serious need. They may also provide free education materials and budgeting forms. <br/><br/>Certain programs are not free, however. Debt management programs nearly always include some kind of fee, although it varies by the amount of debt included and your ability to pay. Ask for a list of estimated fees before agreeing to anything. <br/><br/>If debt settlement is your only option, then it will also usually require a fee. Very few people succeed in settling debts on their own, but you can try. <br/><br/>Where to Find Free Counseling <br/><br/>If you need consumer credit counseling, start by contacting a local credit union, hospital, university, or military base. Although they may limit their services to members, patients, students, or service members, some also offer services free to the public. Credit unions are available to a wide range of people, so you should be able to find one you can join. <br/><br/>If none of the above is available to you, you can also contact local housing agencies for help. Because theyre funded by the government, they often provide free services. <br/><br/>Finally, contact a local community center to see if any local groups provide services. Several community centers offer money management classes that are free or low-cost. They may also be aware of volunteer organizations that provide free counseling. <br/><br/>If you need debt help, creating your own solution is the cheapest option. However, many people need professional help. Theres no shame in asking for it. You can find free counseling if youre willing to look a little harder, but dont delay if it comes down to paying $15 or waiting another three weeks to get started. <br/><br/>For more articles and suggestions, visit http://www.Bills.com <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If a student has been tagged as bad credit because of past mistakes of not making timely payments then it does not mean that lenders have closed doors for them. Still Bad Credit Loans for Students are available to them so that they can pursue college studies. In fact students are more at ease in taking loans despite bad credit as compared to other bad credit borrowers. This is because bad credit students have more options while thinking of taking a loan. </p>
<p>First of all bad credit students should know that they can avail Federal loans that come in subsidized or unsubsidized form. Federal loans are especially meant for students and so bad credit of a student is well taken care of. You have the option of choosing from Federal Perkins Loans and Federal Stafford loans. Both these loans are approved at affordable interest rate. A Federal Perkins loan is availed through the school or college you are studying in and comes at low rate of interest. You pay the loan installments back to the school or collage.</p>
<p>Another way for a student in taking a loan is to opt for loans that are offered to the students parents. In such a case the parents takes the responsibility of repaying the loan in time and the student carries with studies smoothly. One way to bad credit loans for student is to take the loan with a co-signer who has an excellent or good credit. Apart from approving the loan, the lender may approve the loan at lower interest rate on the basis of the co-signers good credit history.</p>
<p>If none of the above options suits you then you can take resort in private loans for bad credit students. The interest rate varies from lender to lender and so you should make extensive comparison for a suitable loan. We thus see that bad credit students thus have options and so a loan is now easily available to them. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We set the record straight so that won&#8217;t happen. Text How many of us have looked at anything offered to us for &#8220;free&#8221;? Not me? Of course I have. In this day in age when gas prices are listed as &#8220;Arm&#8221; and &#8220;Leg&#8221;, providing health insurance for your family costs more than some mortgage payments and the cost of raising kids looks like a hockey stick pasted onto a graph, you bet I look at offers to save money. </p>
<p>Therein lie&#8217;s the problem. It seems like the vast majority of American consumers are desperate to cut costs, any costs, and will jump too soon at offers promising to do just that. Sometimes when you combine a cost cutting mentality with the importance of credit, not only to purchase the big ticket items important to us, but more and more to simply survive in this economy, desperation happens. Unfortunately, the marketers know this too. So, without a little education anyone can get confused and the likelihood of being taken advantage of increases significantly. The good news is that just a little education will save you plenty. </p>
<p>Take for example, the term &#8220;Free Credit Report&#8221;. It now ranks right up there with the ubiquitous, &#8220;new&#8221; and &#8220;improved&#8221;. &#8220;Free Credit Report&#8221; has become part of that lexicon of advertising buzz words that are absolutely meaningless to me. But for many, there is much confusion over this term. Why? I think mainly because it has been announced that federal law dictates we are all entitled to a free credit report on the front page of all the newspapers. </p>
<p>We know everyone wants a free credit report, which is why we started our site. People naturally want something that is mandated by law to be at no cost, is front page news and is so incredibly important to each of us if we want to purchase just about anything. We know people want their free credit report and because most all of us work so hard for our money, we think people deserve hearing the truth about the subject. That is why we even put a section on our page entitled, &#8220;The Truth About Free Credit Reports&#8221;. </p>
<p>So, is it not true? Yes, it is true, it&#8217;s just that the devil is in the details and the resulting confusion has been a bonanza for those seeking to cash in on the confusion. In fact, each of us in the good ole U. S. of A. is entitled to a free credit report. But, how do you get it? Where do you get it? Who is giving it to you? Why is it being offered for free? And most importantly, who cannot offer you one for free? </p>
<p>Who cannot offer a free credit report? Let&#8217;s start with the last one first because it shines a lot of light on the rest of the questions. Any company, web site or service that is in business for a profit and is not named Experian, Trans Union or Equifax is not able to provide anyone at any time with anything remotely resembling a credit report free of cost. Period. End of story. Got that? Further, there is one place set up on the web to get free copies of credit reports at no cost and it is: www.annualcreditreport.com . We&#8217;ll talk more about this site a little later but, other wise, caveat emptor, let the buyer beware. </p>
<p>How then are these offers being made? Look closely, the &#8220;Free&#8221; report is usually offered initially upon signing up for a service that charges your credit card each month for monitoring your credit. If you cancel the service just in the nick of time, before the charge is made to your card, you will get it at no cost. What a hassle! And the bet is you will wake up at least one, if not a couple or more months later with several charges to your card. You think these guys make foolish bets?! </p>
<p>Then what caused a free credit report to be offered on the front page of newspapers, who is providing them and how and where do I get one? Due to the importance of consumer credit history, identity theft and complaints from consumer rights groups about having to purchase a credit report in order to gain knowledge about the contents shown on individual consumer reports, even if it was reported inaccurately, a change was mandated. </p>
<p>The Fair and Accurate Consumer Trade Act (FACTA), a revision of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, provided for one credit report free of charge from the reporting agencies (Experian, Trans Union and Equifax) every twelve months, if and only if, you haven&#8217;t received a credit report in the previous twelve months. The consumer, by either mailing a written request to the three major credit reporting agencies or going to www.annualcreditreport.com one can obtain the free report if they meet the criteria. This program was and is being phased in to sections of the U.S. by the credit reporting agencies starting in the western states, with the northeastern states at the time of this writing still to come. </p>
<p>However, Pamela Yip of The Dallas Morning News writes that even this has not been without its problems. </p>
<p>&#8220;The Federal Trade Commission said Experian Information Solutions Inc., one of the three major credit bureaus, settled complaints that it &#8220;deceptively marketed &#8216;free credit reports&#8217; by not adequately disclosing that consumers automatically would be signed up for a credit report monitoring service and charged $79.95 if they didn&#8217;t cancel within 30 days&#8230; . With the help of the Federal Trade Commission, the bureaus established www.annualcreditreport.com as the only authorized online source for consumers to get a free report under federal law. </p>
<p>While many consumers haven&#8217;t had any problem getting their reports, others say they&#8217;ve been hit with sales pitches for products and services from the credit bureaus or were diverted to imposter sites. The FTC said the company led consumers to its www.freecredit report.com and www.consumer info.com Web sites. Radio, TV, e-mail and Web ads promised free reports and &#8220;a bonus &#8211; free trials of a credit-monitoring service.&#8221; </p>
<p>The FTC said consumers &#8220;were assured that: &#8216;Your card will not be charged during the free trial period. However, valid credit card information is required to establish your account.&#8217; &#8221; </p>
<p>What the Web sites didn&#8217;t adequately disclose is that consumers would be charged the $79.95 annual fee if they didn&#8217;t cancel within 30 days, the FTC said. </p>
<p>&#8220;ConsumerInfo billed the credit cards that it had told consumers were &#8216;required only to establish your account,&#8217; and, in some cases, automatically renewed memberships by rebilling consumers without notice,&#8221; the agency said. </p>
<p>As part of the settlement, the FTC required ConsumerInfo.com, an Experian company, to &#8220;give up $950,000 in ill-gotten gains.&#8221; </p>
<p>Experian also has agreed to provide refunds to consumers who purchased credit-monitoring products and ordered a free credit report between Nov. 1, 2000, and Sept. 15, 2003. </p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s unfair and deceptive to promise consumers something for free and then trick them into paying for products they didn&#8217;t want in the first place,&#8221; said Lydia Parnes, director of the FTC&#8217;s Bureau of Consumer Protection. </p>
<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t an attempt to mislead at all,&#8221; said Peg Smith, an Experian executive vice president. &#8220;We absolutely deny any wrongdoing.&#8221; She does acknowledge that consumers may have been confused. </p>
<p>&#8220;To the effect that our product offering has caused that confusion, we certainly regret that,&#8221; Ms. Smith said. &#8220;We encourage consumers to read the language in any disclosure on any Web site, including our own.&#8221; </p>
<p>The FTC also requires ConsumerInfo.com to state clearly that its free credit report offer isn&#8217;t related to the federal program.&#8221; http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_action=list&#038;p_topdoc=21 </p>
<p>The reality is that no one credit report or combination of three credit reports by and of themselves is sufficient to educate oneself about where you stand as a consumer in the eyes of a lender. Imagine a high speed race boat zooming across a lake at top speed without a steering wheel. Where it is going is a complete mystery but one thing is for sure, it will crash and crash quickly unless you get control. That&#8217;s right, you. Because without your credit scores and the knowledge about what they mean, how they were calculated or how a lender views them, you are headed for a crash. </p>
<p>No bank, credit card issuer, mortgage company, retail store or any other credit provider will grant you any item, service or product without looking almost exclusively at your credit scores and the average person has no idea what their scores are and even if they did, many if not most, wouldn&#8217;t know what they mean. </p>
<p>For example, most people don&#8217;t even know that repeated &#8220;pulling&#8221; of your credit reports by potential credit grantors lowers your scores by as much as four points per &#8220;pull&#8221;. You start &#8220;shopping&#8221; around for the best rate on a credit card by allowing each credit issuer to run a credit report on you and your score will take a dive. The difference between a 699 score and a 700 represents thousands and thousands of dollars in interest. </p>
<p>Often, credit issuers don&#8217;t make it perfectly clear that your credit history is being accessed when you respond to their offer for a new card over the phone. The call center sales representative also doesn&#8217;t explain and state clearly to you, that your credit history will show an &#8220;official inquiry&#8221; which counts against your scores whether you are accepted or rejected. </p>
<p>Most people don&#8217;t know that a maxed out credit card lowers their scores even if they pay on time every month. Many don&#8217;t know until it is too late that one late payment on one credit card will cause the interest rate charged to skyrocket not only on that card but any other cards that have a balance! Most also don&#8217;t know that a credit card balance showing less than thirty per cent of the available balance improves the score. Most don&#8217;t know that in calculating credit scores, your payment history counts as 35% of the score, amounts owed count 30% of the score, length of your credit history counts 15% of the score, new credit is 10% of the score and types of credit in use is 10%. </p>
<p>What is the truth about free credit reports? The truth, is that consumers need to read the fine print very, very carefully and get educated. The truth about credit reports in general is that only part of the story is being told by one. The truth, is that knowledge is power and without it your money is being taken from you, your buying power and therefore your future is being dictated to you rather than by you and that the cost of everything including insurance is based on your scores. </p>
<p>If asked for my advice to the average consumer? Worry less about getting a &#8220;free&#8221; report and more about the real cost of being ignorant regarding credit. Worry more about the immediate and long term costs of not taking control of what is reported on your credit report both the correct and incorrect. Gain some credit knowledge. It is easy to do and will literally save you a fortune. One thing is absolutely for sure, your money and future and your children&#8217;s future will be severely impacted by your credit. How, is up to you. <br/><br/></p>
