If you’re in mortgage trouble and have made 2-3 late payments, the FHA Secure Expansion is what you may need.

The Bush administration has recently declared the FHA Secure Expansion with the aim to provide mortgage help to borrowers struggling with their high cost subprime loans. Under this plan, the Federal Housing administration (FHA) will be insuring more loans on which borrowers are late twice/thrice and have even received a principal write-down from the lenders.

Thus, if you’re looking to refinance to get out of the existing mortgage, and you aren’t getting approval for conventional loans, then FHA Secure Expansion may be the right choice for you.

As expected by the FHA, the program is likely to provide mortgage help to 500,000 families thereby allowing them to refinance into FHA loans by the end of this year. But perhaps it’s too early to contemplate such a huge effect. However, the best thing about this program is that, it includes borrowers who’ve been late on their payments unlike what the previous FHA Secure program demanded as its eligibility criteria.

However, borrowers willing to come under this plan will have to fulfill certain eligibility criteria as available at http://www.mortgagefit.com/foreclosure/fhasecure-expansion.html .

It is quite interesting to learn how to block spamming on your blog. With the superb outburst of technology, it is absolutely possible to spam all over the net. Being a blogger I went through some ways which can to some extent stop these spammers from taking advantage of the blog so easily. Frankly, I need to save my blog here. Just read carefully:

Have you noticed random comments made to your posts? The comments are of little or no relevance at all. Now as your site accepts and displays hyperlinks it becomes an easy prey for these spamdexing experts. If a spammer is trying to promote his site, it becomes easier for him to paste a link in your site and hence get the traffic directed to his. It was in 2003 that spamming took its first step taking advantage of the openness of the commenting feature present in software like “Movable Type”. As technology advanced these spammers took up fresh ways of spamming by adding Trackback Submitter as a tool to their misdeeds. If they can take advantage of technology why should we lag behind in protecting ourselves? Read the rest of this entry »

Are you still in love with the little plastic card in your pocket? Let me play Cupid’s enemy here. Do you know the secrets these devils bear? Let me tell you the truth.

1) Annual Charges:

Do you think of it as a better option? It is better if you consider paying for that again. This is just robbing you off money. Now if you find the reward outweighing the annual fee you can consider opting for this.

2) Rewards??

Did you read the fine print properly? The free air ticket that they are providing brings in more trouble than relief. Can you imagine booking a year in advance, or flying on particular dates, to particular places, staying at a particular place which are pre determined? Do you call them rewards?

3) Convenience checks:

These come with low rate balance transfer offers. Can you believe these are actually treated as cash advances? A sudden bill of 3% or a minimum of $5 to $ 10 is a shock. If you go for a stop payment you are handed a bill of $30 to pay for a so called convenience check which added to all your inconvenience. Read the rest of this entry »
