Question by thinkbig: question about a house repossession?
I put my house up for sale a couple of weeks ago but with the current market I aint expecting a quick sale. The thing is that we have seen a repossessed property for sale that has been up 6 months and it would be ideal for our family. My question is would it be possible for the mortgage company to do a house swap the same as many buyers/sellers are doing these days? do they do that? we would be willing to pay legal/survey fee’s etc and maybe reduce asking price of our house. any anwers shedding light much appreciated.
I learnt about house swapping via the internet and of course it would all have to be signed over legally etc.

Question about a voluntary vehicle repossession?

by: admin - March 23rd, 2011 Filed under: Questions & Answers 5 Comments

Question by ~life sucks~: Question about a voluntary vehicle repossession?
I want to volentarily turn my vehicle into the bank. From what I understand, the car will be auctioned off and the bank will send me the bill for the balance. So, say I owe 16k on it and the bank sells it for 10k, then I get a bill for 6k? Right? How relentless are banks in pursuing the balance? I know they probably reserve the right to pursue legal action to get the bill paid, but do they often do this? How likely is the bank to eventually stop collections and just write the balance off as a loss? I dont want the car anymore, I cant afford the monthly payment anymore and I am so upside down it, I cant privately sell it and hope to ever get close to what I owe on it. I know this will ruin my credit, but my credit is already trashed, I don’t really care at this point.

Best answer:

Answer by caldrich36
Your right. The bank will tell you that they got alot less than what you owed. Ask to see the bill of sale. They have to show you this. Also try selling it back to where you purchased the vehichle or to some other dealer. This may work for you better. Good luck.

A rented car abroad – Advantages: comfort, transportation from one place to another, freedom to travel independently, the option to stop at any time of the day, the option to reach places where public transportation doesn’t, cheaper (sometimes) than organized trip and public transportation. The profitability of renting a car rises when the number of passengers rises.

It’s very recommended (yet not mandatory) to work with international rental cars companies because they can solve any problem around the clock and they have a large variety of new cars. The only disadvantage is the high price. The price in local companies is quite cheap, but their downsize is that their service is not always available, so you’ll need to check if the renting point is open at the time and day reserved.

The advantages of the big/international (and known) renting companies:

Deploying branches: when you’re driving with the rented car and everything is fine, then there’s no problem and you are satisfied. But in life, everything doesn’t always go according to plan, and sometimes there are car failures, and then the problem begins: Where is the nearest branch, whether the workers come to you or you come to them. I had a serious failure with the car when I was in the Niagara Falls. I rented at a known company, and even then, I had to wait for about 12 hours for an alternative car, it took from me a lot of nerves, and the other car was malfunctioning as well. I have lost 2 days of my trip ( don’t forget that wasted time is wasted money). What do I want to say? That you need to choose the company with the best deployment.

You need to check when the place is open. It is better to take the car keys from the workers and not counting on the luck that others put them in a box (though most of the time there are no problems with that). Not every company (especially the small ones) open their branches for a long period of time and they don’t always have an airport branch. In cases like this, you have to wait several hours for the opening (mostly in the early morning hours). Again don’t forget that wasted time is wasted money.

It is very important to choose your renting company directly and not trough a travelling agent because they usually offer sales that others cannot compete with, and if you belong to any big organization like “hever” or the teachers association, you might get a discount up to 15%.

Favorite client in big companies: when you reserve a car, you usually get the car you asked for and only rarely get upgraded. Why not be a favorite client without payment by signing up for it in the company’s website (not every company has one): pay for class B (for example), and get a class C free. As a favorite client you wait for the car no longer then 10 minutes, and you don’t wait in line. In case you do need to wait longer, most places will give you a refund, from my experience.

The count of the rental days begins when your lease form gets stamped at the car receiving station. A delay of an hour and above is being considered an additional renting day. The reserve and the following computerized reports allow a delay of up to 59 minutes in the return. A delay above 59 minutes, even if it’s because you waited in line, means another renting day. Day=24 hours.

It’s important to be precise in the reservation form with the driver’s name, the location where you take and give the car back, when you take the car, and most important the flight’s number (since you’ve made your reservation in advance, the renting company is expecting you at the time you have written. if there is a delay in the flight, they have your flight’s details and can track it accordingly. Your car will be saved for you 2 hours after the ordered time, in case you haven’t given away your flight’s details. You cannot change those details abroad. Changing the time of the takeoff requires changing the approximate time of taking the car and You’ll need to verify that the information is known to the renting company (if you won’t inform them, there’s a big change you will have to wait for a long time).

A big part of the insurances offered to the renter of the car when he gets the car is only a suggestion and not really mandatory.Pay attention and don’t sign any form without checking it’s content before you receive the car, in order to prevent unnecessary payments in the future.

When you rent a car, take in account that it’s not recommended to rent one in crowded cities (like: New-York, London, Barcelona, Paris, Las-Vega, etc) unless you plan to drive outside the city.

In the summer (for example Italy), order a car with air conditioning, and at ski areas in the winter, order a 4X4 car (better grip of the road) with snow tires + chains, and with enough trunk for the ski equipment.

A 2 doors car is cheaper than a 4 doors car (same size and car, just less doors). It will be abuse and lack of consideration to the other passengers in the back if you drive a 2 doors car with 3 or 4 people.

Special vehicles (Jeep, Van, Sport, etc) need to be ordered far in advance. Otherwise, you won’t have that kind of car to rent.

Days count: sometimes it is cheaper to rent a car for a week and return it after 5 days then to rent a car for 5 days. There is no refund in unused days.

In most cases, ordering a car from your home country is much cheaper than ordering in the USA or Europe.

Compare renting prices between big airports (or nearby airports) and cities. Renting a car at Kennedy airport is almost double the price of renting the same car, at the same company in New-Ark airport, New-Jersey. Its important to know that at airports there have port taxes.

Young drivers, below the age of 24-25: at the USA, most of the renting companies don’t rent to those under the age of 24 or 25. Those who does, rent for drivers at the age of 21 and above, but charge for extra daily (between 10-40 dollars a day. The sum of money depends on the renting place). Few are the companies who rent for drivers at the age of 19 and above (and charge from them 20 dollars additionally).

We advocate you plow the market, check, compare and only then order. It’s recommended to start the trip at the country that has the lowest renting prices compared to the others.

It’s always good to order the car from a company that is known in your country, its cheaper.

When you order a car, the company undertakes to the ordered car’s category and not to the type of the car.

It is important to make sure what are the unique add-ons, that you must pay when you order.

Ask for a diesel car (check diesel prices at the destination country – it’s not always cheaper than regular fuel, but in most cases, they are). In some areas, the price of the diesel is significantly lower than regular fuel (the gaps between the prices can come in some countries to 50%). Also consider the fact that you can drive much more (almost double) kilometers in a diesel tank instead of regular fuel.

Payment at home- it is cheaper to order at your home country than abroad. The place where it’s cheapest to rent: Europe – Germany, USA – Florida.

It’s a must to compare the kinds of insurances and benefits (full tank, sunroof, etc). You should ask how much you must add, if you return the car in a different country from where you rented it, find out how much is the extra insurance with you move to eastern Europe countries, what is the Deductible in case of an accident, etc. You need to make sure there are no safety limitations: traveling on ferries, entering certain countries, especially in the east, entering Italy, Mexico, age limitation, etc.

Its very recommended to make an extended insurance against accidents with a third side insurance, as well as an included Deductible insurance, in addition to the mandatory ones(theft for example). Other than then, there is no need to pay for any insurance program.

Insurance Codes:

CDW – Collision Damage Waiver: insurance for the rented car and for the other car. There is Deductible.

Many Companies don’t give you the Deductible included in the rent itself, charge you about 5-6 Euros per day, and if god forbid there is any damage to the car, you begin a tiring journey: You pay a fine about 400 Euros Deductible without any right to appeal, When you get back to your home country, you start negotiating with the company, fill out forms and eventually, they pay you back the money, but a lot of time pass till you reach there and along the way, you get very annoyed. There are some companies that do include the Deductible and save you a lot of money.

PAI – Personal Accidents Insurance.

TP – Third Person Liability Protection: insurance against all kinds of third person faults (theft for example).

STP – Deductible Included – not mandatory but recommended.

SLI – expended third person insurance (recommended only in the USA).

You can cancel the add-ons within 24 hours.

CDW TP – all the offers are included (there is a deductible – different in each country).

It’s recommended to order the add-ons in your home country.

The insurance company is exempted from paying you any compensation if the car keys were left somewhere by you and thus allowing or making the stealing of the car an easy job.

The insurance companies won’t pay the full value of the content of the cargo inside the car if the keys were left inside or if you didn’t lock the car properly.

None of the insurances above cover for damages to the panes, tires and to the lower part of the vehicle.

International driving license + valid Israeli driving license: Remember!! Not every country acknowledges the Israeli driving license. By Israel laws and other places around the world, it is stated that the national driving license is the international one. The insurance companies won’t acknowledge the international driving license abroad because it’s a result of an agreement between ministers and not the result of the law, and that being so, they are not insured with Lloyd’s. Their policy demands international driving license along with the national one. There is also a situation that certain authorities are not aware of the law existing in their country. Therefore, its best to take both driving license (international+national).

Places you can get an international driving license: MEMSI, and some of the mail branches. Anyway, it’s preferable to get the license near the date of your flight so you’ll have more time to use it.

Make sure that you have an international credit card. Most of the renting companies doesn’t allow taking their car without giving them your credit card number to ensure payment for every damaged made to the car or for an empty tank needed to be filled.

Make sure that you have the right renting car voucher.

In every rent there is a registration payment that costs about 9 dollars in case of cancellation.

Payments made abroad: road taxes, equipment like baby chair, ski roof, snow chains, additional driver insurance or a young driver insurance, insurances expansions , harbor taxes if they weren’t paid in your country, traffic fines, highways taxes, etc.

When you are at the rental company, check that you have written the address and phone number of the return point, in order to avoid uncertainty and unnecessary delays. Also, ask for a map that would help you find the return station. It’s very much recommended to take the road maps at the rental station, they will help you. Ask the workers there for instructions on the map on how to get out of the area, to the destination direction.

25. On the roads: crossing between certain countries requires buying a sticker at the border station, which allows you to drive on that country’s roads. Driving on those roads without the sticker might get you a fine. In any case, its recommended to ask for one when you get the car. Make sure that you have a parking clock that allows you to park the car for several hours. If you don’t have one, you should buy one. Make sure that you have a stamp for driving the roads (some countries demand it). Again, it’s recommended to buy one if you do not receive it from the rental company.

Most of the central airports in Europe have a service box when the renting station is close, and you need to put the keys and the lease contract inside it. In that case, you won’t get any confirmation of returning the car, no refund will be given back to you due to partial use of the coupon if you return the car sooner than determined.

General rules:

Please follow the traffic laws accepted in the county where you drive. Traffic laws vary from one country to another, regarding the driving speed allowed, signs, traffic lights, directional movement, parking, road signs and more. Fines in most of Europe countries and the United States, even parking fines, are not normal. If you get caught and get a fine, pay it before you leave the country, because the car’s renting company will charge you for additional expenses beyond covering the fine.

In case of a malfunction, accident or car theft, please report the renting company. Please demand the emergency number of the company (usually printed on the lease contract). In case the rent includes road services, make contact with the renting company to get an immediate help or a car exchange. In cases like accidents or car theft, you must also report the local police. You must keep copies of everything in case of a claim…

Keep the car locked, and take valuable belongings and hand bags each time you exit the car. In case you have rented a GPS system, remove it every time you leave the car.

How To Go About Buying Repossessed Cars For Sale

How To Go About Buying Repossessed Cars For Sale

If you have considered buying repossessed cars for sale then you should know that buying an asset as huge as a car or a house is quite a big step. It is not something you should jump into without careful consideration and caution. The same goes for buying repossessed cars for sale. Just because you can not afford a brand new car or you don’t want to invest in a brand new car for your own reasons, it does not mean that you should settle for just anything in the repossessed or impounded cars market. The repossessed and impounded cars market has its own curves and corners you may want to watch out for and make the most of. The repossessed cars market has developed over time for different reasons. One of the reasons is that when someone gets financial assistance from banks to buy a car they may lose their financial resources and find themselves in a position where they can no longer make the required payments according to the agreed upon terms. Unfortunately in this case the loaning organizations have no other choice but to take the car back and service it in markets such as the repossessed cars markets where others can bid on the cars or outright buy it. When people bid on the cars the cars go to the highest bidder. This way the bank or the organization responsible for the cars can raise the remaining balance on the cars due to clear the monetary value. If you would like to buy repossessed cars you need to gather as much information as you possibly can from all the resources in your local area. First start with the car auctions in your local area before you widen your search into broader areas. Try looking in your local newspaper or other local sources of information. After you have gathered all the necessary information, call the responsible authorities or agents to make arrangements so you can go and inspect what they have in the sale stock. Please keep in mind that buying repossessed cars for sale does not mean you should settle for whatever they have available. You should make sure it is the kind of car you want and that it suits your needs. If you were purchasing a brand new car from a car dealer you would not want to settle for anything they have. You would want to buy something that suited your needs and wants. Make the most of the time you have and widen your search as far as possible. Even if you believe you have found the perfect car for you, you should still wait before making any commitments until you have thoroughly explored all your options that you have in buying repossessed cars for sale.

Get Upfront About Mortgage Arrears

Get Upfront About Mortgage Arrears

A UK resident with a mortgage arrears problem can get a lot of helpful advice from sites and organizations. If you cannot meet your mortgage payments, if you are in arrears or about to become so, dont play the ostrich head in the sand game.

It is crucial that you immediately contact your lending institution and make them aware of your financial problem.

Every lender has a plan in place for dealing with mortgage arrears and helping you get back on track with your payments. They will try to help if you are proactive and honest with them.

If you try to avoid them, refuse to take their calls and just hide out from your creditors, you will soon be in over your head and may lose your home.

There are also some free not-for-profit organizations in the UK whose mission is to try to help you keep your home and your good credit. They will help if you contact them.

Your mortgage lender should be your very first email or call when you realize you have a mortgage arrears issue. Not only do they want to keep your mortgage in place and in good standing, they are also obligated through federal legislation to take your critical situation into account and treat you in a fair, informative and helpful manner.

As of October 31, 2004, the UK Financial Service Authority (FSA) is in charge of regulating each UK mortgage. The legislation says that you must be kept informed about your current mortgage arrears status. Strict guidelines have been set on how the lender must behave before and during any home repossession attempt.

If you are honest with them, your lender just might be able to come up with a more suitable payment arrangement, at least temporarily until you are financially back on your feet again.

The plan your lender can and will put in place for your mortgage arrears situation depends on your payment history to this point, and whether your financial problem is short or long term.

The possibilities they can offer include reduced payments for a set time period, letting you make interest only payments for a pre-determined time period, a short holiday from any payments at all, or an extension on the term of your mortgage. The latter would result in reducing your payments for the length of the mortgage.

If you have already fallen into arrears with your mortgage the options for your lender to offer are fewer. You can pay off the overdue balance gradually by making larger than scheduled payments each month.

If this is not possible you might be able to delay the extra payments for awhile or just add them to the end of the loan period. What the lender determines to accept will depend a lot on the history of your payments on the mortgage up until your financial difficulties set in.

Whats crucial in a mortgage arrears is that you continue to pay something on the due date, even if the total varies each and every month. Communication is an important key to resolving a mortgage arrears in your best interests and saving your home and your good credit.

James Copper has been helping people for years to clear their mortgage arrears and stop repossession.

Know About Legal Assistance In Case of Injuries!

Know About Legal Assistance In Case of Injuries!

The very thought of legal assistance conjures up an image of expensive fees. It is a fact that legal assistance comes with a price attached. Many people feel they may have to spend a huge amount of money for legal assistance. However, not all the services are exorbitant. By doing a little research you can also lay your hands on the services that are available at a nominal fees or no fees.

However, most of the people are of the opinion that legal assistance comes with a price. If you or anyone known to you has met with an accident due to the fault of someone, you can make a claim. You have every right to make a claim if you can prove that the injury has resulted due to the fault of someone.

There are different lawyers who are not only specialists and professional but also experts and capable who offer to file these injury cases on no win no fee basis. It proves to be a great help for the needy victims who come to the threshold of law to get justice. By no win no fee based injury claim case it means that the claimant is not supposed to pay even a single penny whether the case is won or lost. In both the situations, he will not be spending any thing.

No win no fee claims were introduced in 1995, and replaced legal aid, a government enabled system for providing funding to help people get a fair hearing, access the court process, and to help solve problems that contribute to social exclusion.

The no win no fee claims system shifts costs from the legal aid system. It also removes the need for an application process to satisfy an independent regulator that there is a reasonable case. These decisions are now up to the discretion of the solicitor. Hence, the no win no fee agreement occurs between the law firm and the client.

Before making a claim, it is advisable to seek help from accident claims solicitors. They can help get compensation in a short period of time. They can also guide what the procedure of making a claim involves.

Xenophobic about xeriscapes
BOISE, Idaho — When Patricia Sankey bought her house, a vacant bank repossession in Nampa, Idaho’s Sherwood subdivision, there wasn’t much left of the yard, she said, besides a “crunchy” mat of weeds and a long-dead tree listing at a 50-degree angle. “I’m a single woman. I’m getting older,” said Sankey, who works the evening shift as a pharmacy tech at St. Luke’s in Meridian, Idaho.

Flipping houses has turned to flopping, fraud charges
A prevalent scam involves a practice called “flopping,” where investors or homebuyer hire brokers to assess a home for less than its market value and convince banks to accept a sale at that level. The buyer conceals from the lender that he has lined up a higher offer and then quickly resells the property for a profit, as in the Connecticut case.
