Credit Card Debt Relief
On Thursday, August
20, 2009, provisions of the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility,
and Disclosure Act ("CARD") signed into law by President Obama last May
become effective. "The days of any time, any reason rate
hikes and late fee traps have to end," President Obama said.
According to the White
House, the average American family carries a credit card balance of
$10,000. In March, President Obama announced, "The days of any time, any reason rate hikes and late fee traps
have to end." This is good news for struggling credit card holders.
Although not part of the stimulus plan, new
credit card laws of 2008, 2009 and proposed laws set to go into effect in 2010
as well as recent government bailouts are motivating banks and credit card
lenders to
quickly settle debt
with debt settlement specialists.
Now that the
government is cracking down on credit card lenders, struggling cardholders
need to act fast to see if you may be eligible to quickly and legally
eliminate half your credit
card debt.
You can
complete a 20-second form to get
a personalized debt relief plan
at Lower my Bills.
(Requires Min $10,000 in credit card debt to qualify)

are working together to expand and extend help to Americans struggling with
the worst recession in decades.

Career Training

school students to cash in on more than $53 billion from

is available for Americans who want to earn a certificate,
an associate's, a bachelor's or an advanced degree.

universities, colleges, trade schools and "distance learning" or accredited online programs.
If you are
serious about furthering your career with a good degree program or
accredited job training,

get your degree from a school that's right for you.
Don't Lose Your Home Because You've Lost Your Job
This
year, one in ten homeowners is facing foreclosure, but new initiatives from
the government and private service providers for
loan modification and refinancing are making home affordable
again for millions of struggling homeowners. Loan modification allows
homeowners and lenders to change the
terms of your loan in order to stop foreclosure. A loan
modification is NOT a new loan. For many, it is often the ONLY option
for homeowners with bad credit that are behind on their mortgage. You
can take on the bank by yourself or you can
complete one
secure form to
get a personalized plan to
find out if you qualify. You have no obligation. There is no
credit check and no social security number is required. You may be
eligible to
Stop Foreclosure fast! Modify your loan, eliminate your back payments and save your home.
Money to Supplement Your Retirement
If you're 62 years old or older and need money to pay off
debt, cover medical expenses, or help out the kids you'll be happy to know
Congress has raised the amount banks may pay you while you enjoy your
retirement from the comfort and security of your own home. The American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 raised the limit for
government-backed
reverse mortgages to $625,500.
There are no income, employment or credit qualifying restrictions. You own
your home - not the bank and you never make a mortgage payment while you
live in the home. You can get a
Free Reverse Mortgage Guide from
Quicken Loans that explains all your options and simplifies the
application process.
Government Pay to Start Your Own
Business
If
you've dreamed of being your own boss and owning your own business, there
may never be a better time. With support from the government and
business service providers it has never been cheaper, easier or faster to
start the profitable business you've always wanted from the comfort
of your home - no matter what your product or service. In fact, with
new economic recovery initiatives, the
government may pay you to start your own part-time or full-time business.
