			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by Hakuna Matata</i>: Best way to refinance the student loan?</strong><br />
My girlfriend has an outstanding student loan of $  3,000 with 8% annual interest day. What&#8217;s the best way to refinance this loan in order to reduce the payments? If you know any good student loan programs, I would like to hear about them.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Matt J</i><br/>Students who are looking for a bad credit student loan should pick three schools they are most interested in, talk to the admissions office, and ask what is needed to apply in their school.A bad credit<!--student loan is payable only after the student has completed his or her education, and has started earning a certain minimum amount. You can find more information on Student Loan here,</p>
<p>http://badcredits.awardspace.com/student-loans.htm</p>
<p>The minimum amount that the candidate of the bad credit student loan is required to earn has also increased. Bad credit student loans are available as both secured and unsecured loans-->depending on whether you are a homeowner or not. The rate of interest to be paid on unsecured bad credit student loans is higher than that on secured bad credit student loans. This is because the secured bad credit student loans are backed by your home as a security.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:left;margin: 0 20px 10px 0;" src="http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2012/02/11/9188772/gI_74712_cfrnnet.jpg" /><br />
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 14, 2012 </p>
<p> If the college or university you graduated from offered to refund your tuition, would you take it? Of course you would, but they won&#8217;t. However, that is exactly what CFRN is doing. Emini Trading Partners who have been professionally trained to trade Emini Futures in our Live Trading Room including the S&amp;P500, Dow, Nasdaq, Gold, Silver, Crude, the Euro and other futures markets were notified this past week they are now eligible for the 2012 Tuition Reimbursement program as CFRN Equity Partners.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The International Labour Organization recently reported that globally some 1.1 billion people were either unemployed or living in poverty. In their report, the ILO called the situation an &#8220;urgent challenge&#8221; and said governments need to create 600 million jobs over the next decade. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Christian Financial Radio Network champions the entrepreneurial spirit. CFRN believes that a large percentage of those much needed jobs can and should be created by the private sector. In the face of rising unemployment coupled with an inability to borrow, increasing numbers of ordinary people are turning to the financial markets not in search of a job or to ask for a loan, but to explore and embrace an opportunity to provide income and stability for themselves and their loved ones.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Learning to trade Emini Futures and Forex has garnered increasng appeal among entrepreneurs world wide based on the the low barrier to entry. Unlike other professions which are subject to government regulation, licensing, years of education and large up front capitalization, becoming a self directed trader circumvents most of these issues. To fund an account in the US can be done for $  5K or less. The time required to submit documents and have an account approved is often less than a week. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The only real barrier to entry in this field is education which is by far the most critical part of the equation. While there are currently no official educational requirements to become a trader, many training schools charge $  7k-$  50k and up, for a week of live training with little or no follow up. Since the educators themselves are not regulated, the quality of education that an aspiring trader receives is often far from adequate. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>CFRN offers a unique Emini Training Course in a virtual classroom. Students receive over 120 hours of individual training in live markets via the company&#8217;s Live Emini Trading Room and have access to a video training library which currently contains over 100 hours of instruction. As part of the mentoring program, students also enjoy unlimited email and telephone support, participate in weekly workshops online, and become part of a vibrant community of traders around the globe. Most students choose to remain connected after their training via the CFRN Active Partner Program.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>When asked why CFRN made the decision to abandon the majority of its 2012 advertising budget in favor of tuition reimbursement, Founder Dewayne Reeves offered the following comments &#8211; </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;Our mission statement has always been about people not numbers. In an industry rampant with fraud and misinformation our goal is to offer training and mentoring of the highest caliber in an honest, straightforward and transparent environment. We accomplish this by holding ourselves to the highest of standards. We teach our students aggressive risk management. We never promise to make anyone wealthy overnight. What we do promise is to teach a very conservative method of trading designed to take advantage of liquidity and leverage while simultaneously limiting the downside on every trade through the use of our proprietary indicators and methodology. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;In difficult economic times we can think of no better way to say thank you to our graduates than by investing our advertising dollars in them. No billboard or television commercial will ever convey as accurately what we offer as well as the heartfelt words of a successful student. It is for this reason that we have decided to invest in those who have invested in us. Beyond tuition reimbursement, we are also offering all CFRN Partners the opportunity to now create a dual income stream as both a trader and as a CFRN Equity Partner. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>At the corporate level we have made an additional decision to give back in yet another way entirely. As a Founding Director of New Hope Orphanage and School in Kampala Uganda, East Africa, I am keenly aware of how severely the global economic downturn has affected charitable donations worldwide. Going forward, CFRN will donate 10% of all Active Partner fees generated by CFRN Equity Partners to the 800 children of New Hope. We will also be returning an additional 10% of fees collected to our Equity Partners in the form of residual income. &#8220;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>To learn more about the CFRN Emini Training Program you are invited to audit live emini training classes for 5 consecutive trading days at no charge. To assist you with your evaluation you will be provided a charting package and live data feed courtesy of Daniels Trading. While the company&#8217;s training, indicators, and methodology are focused on the Futures market, the lessons learned can also be applied to trading equities such as Google, Apple, and even Exchange Traded Funds such as the SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust, SPDR Dow Jones, even precious metal funds like SPDR Gold Trust and iShares Silver Trust.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Take advantage of this opportunity today and explore your future with CFRN! As a trader and/or an educational consultant the possibilities are unlimited. Feel free to contact the company with any questions you have or get started right away and take advantage of the no obligation opportunity to join the Live Emini Trading Room for one full week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by </i>: how to find student loan interest rates from prior years?</strong><br />
How do I find the interest rates on my student loans? I have subsidized and unsubsidized student loans starting from 2005-2011. Who do I send the check to? the current servicer, the current lender, or the current guaranty agency?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by train86</i><br/>The problem with many student loans from that time frame,especially the beginning, is that maybe of the loans were sold around between Sallie Mae, Great Lakes, etc&#8230; The student loans now (Stafford Loan) is issued from the government and has one main lender in order to avoid the problems in the past. Because of this it is hard to say what your interest rate is/was as well as who currently owns your school loan. Once you have dropped below 6 credit hours or have stopped taking classes you should get a notification in the mail from your lenders. You may also want to check www.studentloans.gov because they may have the information on there regarding your loan servicer as well what the rates were during those years.</p>

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012 </p>
<p> As college students head for Spring Break destinations from Panama City and Cancun to the Caribbean, many take with them a ?charge first; ask questions later? mentality guaranteed to produce financial hangovers later.  To avoid this outcome, CreditDonkey.com suggests savvy students compare different student credit card offers for deals that will make the vacations less expensive and help them to establish good credit histories.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>?College students are an important market for credit card issuers, since they represent the companies? next generation of customers,? said Charles Tran, founder of credit card comparison and education site CreditDonkey.com.  ?What some students don?t realize, however, is that some companies offer special introductory rates and cash back bonuses to get kids to choose their cards.  Used wisely, these perks can make it cheaper to buy gas, restaurant meals and merchandise with credit than cash.?</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>At different times, some incentives that college student credit cards may offer include:&#13;<br />
</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
  Zero percent introductory APRs on purchases (not cash advances) for up to nine months.  These are the equivalent of interest-free loans.&#13;</p>
<p>  Cash back bonuses of as much as five percent on purchases in rotating categories (or introductory categories).  These often include gasoline, restaurants, supermarkets, drugstores and convenience stores.&#13;</p>
<p>  Cash back bonuses of up to one percent, for purchases in other categories.&#13;</p>
<p>  Zero-percent fraud liability ? sometimes bundled with email and mobile fraud alert options.&#13;</p>
<p>  APR reductions for students who use credit wisely.
<p>To establish a good credit history from the get-go, Tran advises students to pay off the entire card balance every month.  ?At this stage in your credit history, I do not recommend charging the whole Spring Break vacation on a card unless you can repay the debt immediately.  Issuers scrutinize the histories of young adults to make sure they?re using the cards responsibly.  Piling up a big debt from Day One is a red flag.?</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>To find the best credit card for their needs, students can visit CreditDonkey.com to search for options, conduct comparisons and apply for the best student credit cards right on the site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by surfnbrad</i>: Taking Advantage of low interest student-loan Money what to do with it?</strong><br />
So my parents are providing my tution and cost for college, but with great student loan offers im looking at taking a student loan with an interest rate plus or minus 2.5% which is really good, what could i do with this money investment wise to try to make some money such as cd&#8217;s and etc<br />
yea thanks kman i realized that just seeing if the oppurtunity arises itself with obama possibly creating more loan oppurtunities and i know that the u NEVER buy stocks with loaned money</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Kman</i><br/>AFAIK federal student loans with rates under the inflation rate have to be used towards education costs, and I&#8217;d be a bit surprised if you even qualify for them given that your parents are capable of paying for your education. </p>
<p>Investing borrowed money is rather risky.  If you&#8217;re sticking to risk-free CD&#8217;s and the like, you&#8217;re looking at a 3.5% ish return (max)&#8230; you&#8217;re not going to be making much more than your borrowing cost.  Stocks obviously have better potential, but it&#8217;s pretty high risk as a somewhat short term investment in this climate.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think? Answer below!</strong></p>

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) February 07, 2012 </p>
<p> Less than 1.37 million bankruptcies were filed in 2011 representing an 11.9% drop in new bankruptcy petitions for all fifty states and the District of Columbia compared to 2010. The statistic comes from data provided by Epiq Systems and signals a significant change in direction for this form of debtor relief. Bankruptcies surged in 2005 in advance of a new bankruptcy law which made it more difficult for debtors to seek protection. In 2005 nearly two million individuals filed for bankruptcy. A New Horizon Credit Counseling Services is a nonprofit credit counseling organization that has been helping consumers since 1978. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Steven Stark, COO of A New Horizon Credit Counseling Services, said, ?The reason for the decline can be attributed to more responsible borrowing following the recession, a smaller pool of debtors that qualify for the more stringent criteria to file, and more consumers seeking credit counseling.? A New Horizon offers credit counseling and a structured debt management plan as an alternative to bankruptcy.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Bankruptcy is favored by insolvent debtors as a way to get a new start, free of oppressive financial obligations, and in many cases as a means to save the family home. High unemployment, huge numbers of home foreclosures and mortgages balances that are in excess of the market price of the family home provide little incentive for debtors to file for bankruptcy.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>States with the highest mortgage foreclosure rates, highest unemployment numbers and largest number of debtors seeking protection in bankruptcy during the last few years saw the largest decline in bankruptcy during 2011. Nevada had a 19% decline, Florida a 16% drop, and California a 8% reduction.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Stark said, ?Another factor that has depressed the number of bankruptcy filings is that student loans, which at $  845 billion according to a Federal Reserve Bank of New York report, exceeds credit card debt, the mainstay of bankruptcy petitions, and is not dischargeable in bankruptcy.?</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>2012 may bring a new increase in filings however. At the end of 2011, the Federal Reserve reported that credit card spending spiked nearly 9% to a total of $  798.3 billion in November, perhaps providing a new pool of debtors seeking protection in the future.</p>

San Diego, California (PRWEB) February 14, 2012 </p>
<p> The San Diego bankruptcy lawyers at the Golden State Law Group, a law firm dedicated to providing consumers with plans that are designed to bring about an end to their financial stress, hereby alert the public of an offer for a free initial consultation in response to a recent report issued by the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcies, or NACBA, stating that student loan debt has become a serious problem for many consumers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Specifically, this report surveyed consumer bankruptcy attorneys around the United States and asked them about trends they saw in bankruptcy cases and clients.  Approximately 40 percent of those bankruptcy lawyers surveyed stated that they have seen at least a 25 percent increase in the number of people who are considering filing for bankruptcy because of the enormous amounts of student loan debt they are carrying.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In addition to those responses, the consumer bankruptcy lawyers involved in the NACBA survey stated that even though many of their clients understand that student loan debt cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy case absent relatively rare circumstances, they still want to explore the possibility of bankruptcy.  This is because filing for bankruptcy protection can eliminate other debts and free up more money to maintain these student loan payments.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The San Diego bankruptcy attorneys at the Golden State Law Group also understand that the collective amount of student loan debt in the United States has recently surpassed $  1 trillion, and for the first time in history this amount of student loan debt exceeds the amount of collective credit card debt owed by consumers in the United States.  The firm is therefore offering consumers experiencing financial problems an opportunity to schedule a free initial consultation with the San Diego bankruptcy attorneys at the firm.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About the Golden State Law Group</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Golden State Law Group is a law firm in San Diego, California that?s comprised of a team of attorneys who provide legal help to consumers.  Specifically, the attorneys at the firm provide help to consumers in the legal areas of consumer bankruptcy, tax debt issues and personal injury cases.</p>
