Credit card and personal loan defaulters will find it more difficult to evade credit collection officers in future.

Banks can now track defaulters who have absconded or skipped payment through information currently being provided by Credit Information Bureau of India Ltd. (Cibil). Whenever a defaulting borrower applies for a fresh loan with any bank his credit history can be accessed by on e mail.

It was near impossible till very recent times to trace a customer in event of change of address unless communicated to the lending bank. Now due to the central database maintained by Cibil containing amongst others data about date of birth and PAN number etc they can be located and identified.

While there is a controversy about sharing such data & services to lending banks being an infringement on privacy the same seems to be well purview of the CIBIL act as confirmed by MD. Arun Thukral.

Surprisingly there have been cases in the past where two branches of the same bank have given loans to the same borrower due to unavailability of real time credit history of the customer. Sharing of database maintained by Cibil amongst lending banks will be a remedy to this unwanted problem.

Customers too would now be able to access their Cibil report by making online payment to Cibil who would mail the report to the address on its record. According to Mr. Thukral Cibil is also offering its analytical tools to banks to facilitate their decisions on credit worthiness of loan applicants by allotting credit score based on existing and past relationship across all products by participating banks.

The Reserve Bank of India had declared new guidelines which will disallow any bank to treat a customer as a defaulter if they have negotiated the amount payable against his account and paid the amount to the banks providing such credit cards or loans. Credit Information Bureau Of India Limited is the central repository of all consumers credit history across all banks formed in Jan. 2001.

Invoice Factoring for Subcontractors explores the pros and cons of factoring invoices in the construction industry. The article examines how to determine if it is prudent to accelerate your cash flow with factoring because your subcontracting business is growing rapidly, and no other sources of financing are available.

If you own a subcontracting business your general contractor normally will pay invoices in 30 to 60 days. This creates a lack of liquidity because your cash flow is on hold for that period of time. This may prevent growth and create difficulties regarding making timely payments to suppliers and your staff. Factoring invoices is a way to accelerate cash flow from invoices by selling them at a discount to a commercial finance company.

The term 'subcontractor' means any person, partnership, or corporation engaged in building construction and who, pursuant to a subcontractor agreement, customarily furnishes labor, materials or services, for a building or structure's construction to a general contractor. The list of subcontractor categories includes: carpentry, communications, concrete, doors, drywall, electrical, environmental services, excavating, flooring, fire protection, glass, HVAC, insulation, masonry, mechanical, painting, plumbing, roofing, waterproofing and demolition.

General contractors bid on jobs to make a profit. They hire subcontractors generally with competitive bidding to make the most profit possible. This puts the subcontractor in a challenging environment. The greater the competition, all other things being equal, their bid price will determine whether or not they win the contract. This squeezes profit margins of subcontractors. Once the job begins, the subcontractor must pay for materials and labor for a considerable period of time, 30 to 60 days or more before payment is tendered for their work.

When a subcontractor factors their invoices they are selling their right to be paid from the general contractor to a commercial finance company. Factoring invoices accelerates cash flow to pay for labor and materials without waiting for the general contractor to be paid. Approximately 75% of the subcontractor's invoice will be advanced, less any retentions or setoffs. When the general contactor eventually pays the invoice the funds will go the commercial finance company. They will deduct their fees and rebate the difference to the subcontractor.

Invoice factoring for subcontractors makes economic sense when they are able to factor invoices profitably as a part of their cost of doing business. For instance, the owner of a rock quarry bid jobs to provide granite rock to highway construction general contractors with the estimated cost of financing always built into the bid. This allowed his company to grow profitably. In comparison, a painting contractor competing with many other bidders might have a gross profit margin that will not support the extra expense of the financing. Subcontractors must "do the math" before they consider entering into an accounts receivable financing contract.

People say I want a person who makes a certain amount of money, has a certain job, looks a certain way, good credit, nice car, and educated. Someone who can help me accomplish my goals in life. Many times people say they know what they are looking for in a relationship, a spouse. And there is nothing wrong with wanting certain characteristics in a mate. There is nothing wrong with wanting someone who can help you accomplish your goals in life. Most of these however, are outward things. And if that is who you are, then you need to recognize that is who you are. And I encourage you to let the person who is in the relationship with you know that is who you are as well. They should know your expectations from the beginning. Are you bringing the qualities to the relationship that you want the other person to possess?

You meet a person, and they have the job, money, education, credit and the looks you want. Wells let's say they have most of the qualities you are looking for; and you get married. Then life happens, and maybe someone gains weight, loses hair, job/career changes, credit gets damaged, had to down size the car. Things have changed; the stuff (material things) is changing. Is this relationship built on sand or on rocks? What is the foundation of the relationship?

Many times in our relationship with God we seek things. We seek the money, career, nice car and nice house. But Jesus tells us in Matt 6:33 to seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of the things will be added unto us. God told Solomon in 1Kings 3:11 that because he did not ask for riches for himself, but asked for an understanding heart to discern judgment; I'm going to give you that, but I'm also going to give you what you have not asked for, riches and honor and there shall not be any like you among the kings all of your days. God has promised us if we diligently seek Him, who he is, his ways, that He will reward us. He wants us to want to know him intimately and God is not going to be used. My suggestion and advice is that you seek His face and you will get what is in his hand.

Would you want someone to choose a relationship with you just because of the material things you bring to the table? The things that can change, the stuff they can have. If you can not maintain the stuff, would you still be in the relationship? If you gained weight, lost your hair and did not make as much money, would you want your relationship to end? Most people would want and hope they had something deeper; you would want someone who cared for you deeper than just the stuff. You would feel used if they left when the stuff was gone, when you needed them. Just like you want someone in it for you, God wants us in it for Him!

It is good sometimes to have someone who has strengths in the areas where you are weak. Someone you can have a conversation with, a real conversation? If laughter is important to you, can you laugh together, have fun together? Do they want the same things you want out of life? For example you may want a large, expensive, high end house and car. They may want an average priced home in a nice neighborhood. You may call good money 0,000.00 per year; they may call good money ,000.00 a year. You may value money and they may value family. Learn the deeper things about the person you are in relationship with, have intimate, meaningful conversations. Find out if they know God or just go to church. When you come to the relationship table bring the real you, ask the real questions and get real answers. If you seek the real relationship, the deeper things and not just the stuff, I believe the reward will be great.

In today's cost-cutting measure, consumers need all the help they are able to get for it. So when you decide to take benefits of opportunities that are available over internet by searching some reliable website and you will be much surprised how easy it availing car loan without cosigner.

If you happen to already know that your credit is poor or if you have been turned down for auto loans with bad credit in the past, adding a cosigner to your loan application very well could be a good option to help you get approved. It used to be that a cosigner was only a viable solution if you didn't have any credit history at all when looking to get a loan. These days however, many subprime lenders are allowing you to add a cosigner to your application to help you get approved. There are also no cosigner auto loans available to you if you are looking to get car loan without cosigner.

Sub-prime loans are a huge profit motive for these financial lending institutions because they can have higher interest rates than they would on their conventional prime loans. They are always looking for more ways to approve auto loans with bad credit and by enabling you to add a cosigner it can often times turn a decline into an approval. Here are some of the things they will be looking for in a cosigner if you are not going for an auto loan with no cosigner.

1) Stability:

Sub-prime lenders love stability so when looking at a potential cosigner you should attempt to find someone who brings more stability to the auto loan application than you do. Having a long history at a job is also a plus. If your cosigner has a really good job that they have been working at for years it is relatively safe for the lender to have the assumption that they will continue to be working there in the future.

2) Income:

When a financial lending institution considers a cosigner, instead of a no cosigner auto loan, they want to be assured that the person cosigning has the ability to make the payments on their own in case you are unable to fulfill things on your own. Attempt to find somebody who makes at least the same or better still more money than you do or who has very little debt of their own.

3) Better Credit:

Although this is typically not a requirement if you have someone to cosign that has good credit then you will likely increase your chances for approval on an auto loan pretty quickly. If your potential cosigner has good credit the lender then not only knows that their financial situation is a stable one, but also at the same time that they will more than likely want to protect their good credit.

4) Live at the same address:

Again not always a requirement but having a cosigner that lives at the same address is an excellent means to increasing your chances for a loan approval. If you live at the same address more often than not the potential lender will combine both of your incomes when calculating their debt ratios which will lead to a swifter approval process. Use these examples as a guide when trying to find a cosigner. Picking the right one can really make the difference and turn a decline into an approval.

Monetary demands are ever increasing. Therefore, in particular for nurses who face a problem of availing advances because of their poor financial status there is a solution in the form of bad credit loans for nurses. These finances help nurses to satisfy their requirements without any difficulties. Hence, they prove to be an answer to all fiscal worries for nurses.

The amount that can be acquired through this form of credit extends from 200 to 25,000. This range is sufficient since it corresponds to the cost of demands including the purchase of a car or the renovation of a house. At the same time, the applicant must keep in mind that this amount is repaid within 1 to 10 years.

The applicant also benefits as these advances are available in the secured as well as the unsecured form. Thus, the borrower gets the opportunity to make an appeal through anyone of these formats. According to secured advances, the applicant can draw a large amount as compared to unsecured advances due to the pledging of collateral. On the other hand, the applicant is entitled to pay a high interest rate on unsecured loans.

The lender puts forth an eligibility criterion which is to be followed. He must be a UK citizen to apply for this form of cash. At the same time, he must attain 18 years of age or more. He is also required to maintain an active bank account and must work on the basis of a monthly income.

There is an advantage for the applicant to sit in one place and register his application with an online lender without getting out of the house. Therefore, this method of application for a loan is very beneficial as it provides all facilities to the borrower without any processing fees. Thus, it is significant due to its easy availability.
