I would really like expert opinions, based on ...credit unions
By: Mary Jo | 29-09-2008
I would really like expert opinions, based on facts, about whether a credit union is 'better' or safer than a bank-for checking accounts, savings accounts, and bill payment services. We are thinking of closing our checking account and starting a new one at our credit union. (We do have a bit of savings in the credit union, not much though.) Thank You in advance!

Reality of Life - Divorce+Financial Stress+Daughter+Relocation+Current Foreclosure= Decision?
By: delarson | 29-09-2008
Hello, I'm currently in the foreclosure status. My foreclosure date is Jan. 24th, 2009. I'm considering going through with it, BUT! Here are my variables that impact my decision greatly. I've gone through divorce and was put on my back financially. I also lost my job due to the economy and was working part time jobs in between the current position I have. My new position is very stable and I make good money. However, I had to make a decision not to pay my mortgage as I couldn't afford it since Dec. 08. I'm behind on payments for my first mortgage of $142K. I also had a second mortgage of approximately $36K. I took out an interest only loan, 5 year arm in May '06. I had to do this so I could be near my daughter even though it was not the town I wanted to move to after our divorce. And, it was the only way I could make the payment work for me. The property is 100% LTV. Currently, the second mortgage has been covered by insurance from the 2nd mort lender. Citimortgage is my 1st mortgage. The market is terrible right now and I'm probably upside down by $20K or $158K for the townhome. I purchased it at $178K. Here is my question; I have no equity in the home, it's on a 5yr arm, interest only, AND I filed Chp 7 last October ('07). I also don't like where I live and have come a long way to make things work for me professionally and financially to get back on my feet. "Is it even worth it stay in my home, or should I take the foreclosure hit and move on"? To me, it makes no sense to keep the home. Plus, even if I could redo the loan and stop the foreclosure, my interest rate will probably be very high due to my current credit rating of about 540. "What would you do in my situation"? I'm a very educated professional who has a great business degree, I'm 35, and have a 5 1/2 year old daughter. I know how to manage my money, but you can't stop the devastating things that happened to me after my divorce. Concerned about the future implications of my purchasing power after foreclosure, Derek L

Worthless Stock Loans
By: lastreefsailor | 28-09-2008
If My "Several Loans are secured by Stock, (and Yes, I will loose the 20% =/- of original equity investment), and said stock is now worthless, or at the very least, trading below all reasonable levels of ever becoming profitable, why am I still paying debt service on the Loans which are now functionally in default? And, Yes, I remember the Grandfatherly Advice about honor and personal responsibility, however, the actions of late seem to defy all such nobel guidence, (no, I do not yet have a letter from the bank yet, seeking additional collateral, which is all well and good, since i have none left to provide).
