Not All Debt Is Bad

So you are in debt-who isn”t these days? We live in a society that encourages people to go into debt. Credit card commercials tell us that a trip to Jamaica is just what we need, regardless of whether we can afford it. (That”s what your gold card is for, right?)

So you are in debt-who isn”t these days? We live in a society that encourages people to go into debt. Credit card commercials tell us that a trip to Jamaica is just what we need, regardless of whether we can afford it. (That”s what your gold card is for, right?)
Loan brokers want us to borrow up to 125 percent against our home equity. Even the federal government just had its first balanced budget in a generation and now faces the enormous task of paying off over trillions of dollars in debt.
Yet not everyone is in debt. Many people know how to deal with money. Their debts are manageable, and they have money in the bank. That sounds nice, doesn”t it money in the bank? That is what you deserve. In order to get there, however, you are going to have to change some of your thinking about money and learn a few new methods of dealing with it.
Why Are You in Debt?
People who are not in debt think about and treat money differently than the rest of us. They know a few things about money and debt that escape the rest of us. Let”s call them the “financially literate.” If you can begin to relate to money as they do, you will be well on your way to a life that is not only debt-free, but also prosperous. What we hope to do in this book is to show you some of their secrets so you can adapt a few of these ideas and tools to help you get out of debt.
Do not feel too badly if you are not good with a dollar, a lot of people aren”t. Money literacy is not taught in schools, and too often parents are too busy trying to dig themselves out of their own financial hole to help much either. Yet, unfortunately for many of us, we learn more about money from our parents than anywhere else. The good news is that learning how to get out of debt and become more financially literate is not all that complicated.
The first step in the process is to figure out how you created so much debt, because if you don”t figure out how and why you got yourself into this pickle, you might get out of debt, but you certainly won”t stay out. So the first question to ask yourself is: Why did you go into debt in the first place?
Sometimes going into debt is unavoidable, but often it is not. When money is tight, you have several options; going into debt is just the easiest. Instead of choosing more debt, you might have decided to work overtime and make more money, or possibly you could have tightened your belt and spent less money. Debt was not your only choice.
There are many reasons people go into debt: some are good reasons, and some are bad. It doesn”t matter. Did you buy luxuries you could otherwise not afford? Did an illness or a divorce set you back financially? Was debt your way of dealing with some other sudden, unexpected expense? When you look at the reason why you went into debt, the important thing is to notice whether your spending habits follow a pattern. If you can see a pattern, you need to address that pattern as much as the underlying debt.
Consider Mark and Diane. They both make a good living: he”s a psychiatrist, and she”s a psychologist. They have two kids to whom they are devoted. They send both to private school, which costs a total of $15,000 a year, and both kids go to summer camp. This expense adds up.
Mark and Diane don”t buy luxuries, they don”t travel much, and, except for the kids” expenses, they are very frugal. Yet the only way they can pay for everything is by going into debt. They use their home equity line of credit and credit cards to stay afloat. Although they would like to move to a less expensive neighborhood, they can”t because they have no equity in their home, so they are stuck.
What are they to do? If they are going to get out of debt, something in their lives is going to have to change. The private school is going to have to go, camp may be out, or they are going to have to start making more money. The same is true for you. If you want to get out of debt, you are going to have to identify why you went into debt and change that behavior or pattern.
Good and Bad Debt
Debt in and of itself is not a bad thing. Both of us (the authors) were able to start our own businesses because of debt; Steve began his own law practice, and Azriela began her own entrepreneurial consulting business. So we understand what debt is and why some debt is great debt.
Debt allows you to do things you otherwise normally could not do, such as start a business, go to college, or pay for a home. Debt constructs buildings and funds investments and entire corporations-even the government is funded by debt. The trick is to foster debts that help the cause and banish the ones that don”t. Not all debts are bad debts.
Good Debt
Debt that helps you, enriches your life, is manageable, and is not a burden can be called good debt. For example, student loans are good debt if they enabled you to get through school and further your life goals. They are bad debt if you dropped out of medical school after one year to become a writer. A good debt helps; a bad debt hinders. We want to help you get rid of that bad debt.
Other examples of debt that may be considered good include:
1. Home loans. A mortgage can be a great debt. Not only does it permit you to own your own home, but it also allows you to build home equity. People who are financially savvy earn interest and equity. People who are not financially savvy pay interest and create money for others. For example, charging groceries means that you will pay about 17 percent interest on items that will be consumed within a week. A financially literate person would never do that.
2. Car loans. A car loan can be a fine debt because you get something long-lasting out of the debt. If you need a nice car for your job (if you are a real estate agent, for example), a car loan may be considered good debt because it helps you in your career. However, a car loan that you cannot afford is a bad debt because it detracts from your life.
3. Business loans. If you can service the loan, and it helps you make more money, the loan is good debt, but if the loan is nothing but a source of problems for you, the debt is bad.
4. Credit cards. Credit cards are fantastic. They are convenient and easy. They can help finance a business or even medical emergencies. The problem with them, as you probably know only too well, is that it is too easy to fall under their siren spell and get in over your head before you know it. That”s when they begin to hurt your life more than help it.
Bad Debt Blues
How do you know if your debt is good debt or bad debt? Easy. Bad debts cause stress. You sleep poorly because of them. They cause fights and foster guilt. Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell was once asked to define obscenity. Hard-pressed to come up with a definition, Powell uttered the famous line, “I know it when I see it.” The same could be said for bad debt: You know it when you see it, and it certainly can be obscene.
Bad debt seems impossible to pay back. You create bad debt when you charge things you don”t need or when you borrow for things that you consume quickly, such as clothes, meals, or vacations. The things quickly disappear, but the debt has a nasty habit of sticking around, seemingly forever. Bad debts can become very bad debts because of interest and penalties. For example, if you buy a CD player for $200 and don”t pay it off by the end of the year, and your credit card company charges a usurious 20 percent APR (20 percent per year), you owe $220 by the end of the year. If you do this with five items, you owe $1100, and that”s a lot of money.
Money Talks
Tight for money? Here are some simple ways to save a little extra: Don”t use ATMs at other banks and avoid $2 user fees; cancel your movie channels on cable and save about $20 per month; put all of your change at the end of the day in a jar and save about $50 a month; hold a garage sale and make about $200; cancel your cell phone and save $50 a month.
You can create bad debt when you agree to pay these crazy interest rates that some creditors charge, because the debt seems to grow exponentially. Credit cards are the prime culprit, but they are by no means the only one. High interest can also come with personal loans, business loans, or unpaid taxes.
You know what the bad debt dance looks like, anyone reading this book does: New bills are coming in before you”ve cleared out those from last month. You”re surprised to find that the phone bill is still unpaid. Somehow the dentist was never sent his check. You know what past-due notices look like. Your Visa and MasterCard bills include late payment penalties. The hardware store sends a letter telling you you”re past due and requests that you send a check at once. There is more month left at the end of your money, and payday seems far away. Worst of all, these things don”t surprise you anymore.
Avoidance is a common coping mechanism to deal with a budget that doesn”t balance. The problem is, it can create even more problems than you already have:
Your property could be repossessed. The finance company can come take your car. The electronics store can come take its TV back. You could get sued. If that happens, your wages could be garnished, or your bank account could be levied upon. Imagine your surprise when you go to get that $1,000 out of your checking account to pay your mortgage and you find that it has been seized by one of your creditors.
A lien can be placed on your real estate. Failure to pay a bill now means that a creditor can get a judgment against you and force you to pay it later when you sell your house, only then you will pay it with 10 percent interest per year.
Loss of services. You could lose your insurance or your utility services if you avoid paying those bills.
Yet, as much as you have been avoiding the problem, the truth is that your debts are neither crushing nor hopeless. They are simply a problem-one for which there is a solution. But no one ever eliminated a problem until he or she recognized and admitted that there was a problem. You began to do that the moment you read this articles. As you read it, you will need to begin to formulate a debt-reduction plan that will work for you. As you do, you need to determine which debts are necessary and which are not.
Debts You Want to Keep
Steve, one of the authors of this book, is a bankruptcy attorney. One day, an old acquaintance named Bill came into his office and said that he needed some help getting out of debt, but he also wanted to avoid bankruptcy if at all possible. They talked, came up with a plan of action, and Bill went on his way. About four years later, Steve ran into Bill again and asked how things were; Bill relayed the following story.
Bill had $30,000 in credit card debt and was behind two months on his mortgage when he left Steve”s office. That day, Bill finally decided that something had to change. He wanted to pay everyone back, put some money in savings, and keep his house. His mortgage was his largest, and favorite, debt because he loved his house.
Bill”s first order of business was to prioritize his debts. Wanting to save his house, Bill called his lender and found out that it had a program that would enable him to roll his mortgage arrears onto the end of his loan. He was therefore able to keep his most important debt and focus his energies on getting rid of the debts he didn”t want anymore.
Bill put together a credit card repayment plan. He started living a bit more frugally, making some extra money by moonlighting, and paying more on his credit cards than the minimum. He was diligent, but not always perfect. Although it took him several years, he finally did get out of debt. He also kept his house and even created a little nest egg. Bill did it, and you can too.
Debts to Get Rid Of
If you want to prosper financially, there are plenty of debts that you will want to wipe out. The most obvious are those where you are paying high interest and penalties, things such as credit cards, lines of credit, taxes, or any other debt that is much higher than inflation. In this articles, you will see how to formulate a plan that will enable you to get out from under these burdensome debts. But as you contemplate this plan, you also need to prioritize certain debts and pay them on time:
1. Rent or mortgage. Make paying your rent or mortgage a top priority. Payments on a home equity line of credit or second mortgage are also essential because you can lose your house if you don”t pay.
2. Car payments. Make the payments. If you don”t, the car will be repossessed.
3. Utility bills. These services are important, and the bills usually have heavy late payment penalties.
4. Child support or alimony. Not paying these debts can land you in jail.
5. Taxes. Taxes may be put off for awhile if necessary, and we show you how to do so later on in the book, but if the IRS is about to take your paycheck, bank account, house, or other property, you should set up a repayment plan immediately.
The First Rule of Holes: Stop Digging!
The goal of this articles is to help you get out of debt within the context of making your life work. You will not be asked to make radical, unreasonable changes in your life because doing so rarely works. Instead, important, sometimes gradual, small but significant changes can make a big difference.
If you are going to start getting out of debt, you have to stop going into debt. One way to start is to begin to wean yourself from the credit card teat if you think that is part of your problem. You don”t have to cut up all your credit cards; that would be impractical and unreasonable. Start slowly, but build up to it and get strong. You can do it. The only way to stop going into debt is to stop going into debt. You might as well start now because the sooner you start, the sooner you will get out of debt. The longer you wait, the longer it will take.
We will show you how to easily trim your budget (well, almost easily) so that you need not incur more debt to stay afloat. But begin now. You are going to have to stop sooner or later. Down the road you will see that this is one of the most important steps you can take in getting out of debt. You will thank yourself for this gift. Remember the first rule of holes: Stop digging!
Long-Term Goals
Now is the time to begin to think about your long range financial vision. What is it you hope to accomplish by getting out of debt? Changing some habits?
Paying off your MasterCard? Probably what you really want is a less stressful life, one that”s free from money worries. But you can have even more. Getting out of debt is one thing, but prosperity is another thing altogether.
You have read this once already, and you will read it again in this book: If you don”t begin to do some things differently, to change the way you think and treat money, you might get out of debt, but you won”t stay out of debt. If you do make some simple changes to your thinking and your behavior, not only will you get out of debt, but you also will get ahead. You will get what you deserve: a life of abundance.
The Least You Need to Know
1. Going into debt for essentials makes financial sense; doing so for nonessentials does not.
2. debt.
3. You may want to keep debts that enhance your life and get rid of the rest.
4. Stop adding to your debt right now.
5. Cultivate a long-term plan of action.

Business credit card debt consolidation is now becoming as common as personal credit card debt consolidation. With the fast pace and competative nature of today”s society it is easy to see just how much we have come to rely on our flexible friends to see us through the tough times. Of course business credit cards are a great way to support the needs of your business exactly when instant revenue is needed. The convenience of a business credit card allows you to make those all important purchaces to keep your business on top and moving in the right direction.
However, these factors all together will only make a success of your business if you use your business credit card with the utmost care.
If used unwisely, your company could suffer heavily under the burden of your business credit card debt and if not dealt with in the correct way, could even sink your business completely!

Recognising these signs early enough could be your financial lifesaver. With business credit card debt consolidation you are able to consolidate all your existing outstanding credit card fees into one single low APR credit card. Many credit card companies offer a fixed period whereby the balance transferred is 0% or a very low interest rate for a specified period of time. It is certainly worth taking the time to research the best deals on offer at that particular moment in time.

If however you feel that the credit card transfer option is not quite what you are looking for, then maybe the answer for you is a business credit card debt consolidation loan.
These loans come in two variations. Secured and unsecured. A secured business credit card debt consolidation loan means that the loan itself will be secured against collateral provided by yourself. With this route you will ensure a lower interest rate on your loan. An unsecured business credit card debt consolidation loan usually means a higher interest rate and much stricter terms and conditions to adhere to.
The main benefits of this type of loan are the flexible payment options. you will be able to set the time scale that the loan is paid back over. Obviously, the longer the term, the lower the payments are going to be. This could well help with that all important cash flow issue in the interim, but on the flip side of the coin the loan will be ongoing for a longer period.

The main thing is to firstly get a handle on your finances. At this stage, the important thing is to assess what debt you are in, what your incoming and outgoings are and to write down what you could afford to pay out on a monthly basis. This may sound like an obvious bit of advice, but it”s surprising how many people get caught up in a whirlwind of financial ignorance.

Once you have done this assessment of your business finances you are in a good position to then assess which type of financial aid will best be suited to your business needs, Business Credit Card Debt Consolidation or
a Business Credit Card Debt Consolidation Loan?

If you have started to have problems with debt you must start to do something about it. Right now the society has build a trap, that also known as the rat race. In this trap you will be doomed, to work all your life if you want to live a normal life.

So what you have to do to get into this rat race is to finish your studies, get a corporate job, and start getting some loans like, a mortgage to get a home, and some credit cards to pay for your daily expenses that are more than you can afford with the money that you receive from your 9 to 5 job. So if you are doing things so you are probably thinking that you are living the perfect life. But it”s not like that. The perfect life that you should dream of should be a life, where you don”t have to pay month after month, debt bills, that are taking a big part of your income, and you won”t have much left for yourself.

This way you will be working for the banks. If you have debt you will be the perfect rat, because a big part of your income will go to the government, and after that another big part will go to your lenders.

From that moment on, all you will do is to pay interest rate and late fees, to your lenders. This is the nightmare of many Americans, and it could be yours too unless you take some action.

The best way to react to these things is to start by consolidating your credit card debt, get another job in a field where you can grow a lot, this will allow you to start controlling your financial life in the future. Once you”ve consolidated your credit card debt, all you have to do is to stick to that debt repayment plan. This way you will be able to get out of high interest rate in no time.

Protect Against DIY Disasters

Posted under Insurance by admin on Sunday 22 February 2009 at 10:41 am

According to a survey of 2,000 households carried out by Allianz Insurance, 16% have damaged their homers or their property while attempting to make improvements. 20% also admitted to injuring either themselves, or someone else, while carrying out DIY. This is supported by figures from the Society…
According to a survey of 2,000 households carried out by Allianz Insurance, 16% have damaged their homers or their property while attempting to make improvements. 20% also admitted to injuring either themselves, or someone else, while carrying out DIY. This is supported by figures from the Society for the Prevention of Accidents, which estimate 200,000 DIY enthusiasts turn up at hospital each year. Interestingly the survey revealed householders in the north east of England have the most DIY disasters, while people in the south east are least likely to have a mishap.

One of the main problems, according to Halifax Home Insurance, is that many people don’t know what they are doing. Research conducted by the company found that two thirds of men admit they only do DIY due to pressure from their partners or a sense of duty. Contrary to popular belief, men are not natural ‘DIYers’. Despite this many may be planning to attempt ambitious and potentially dangerous home improvement projects this Easter involving building, gas or electrical works. Halifax figures show that over a quarter of men have attempted electrical wiring at home, while almost a quarter of men have attempted to fit an entire new kitchen.

Without the proper qualifications or experience these people risk invalidating their home insurance policies if things go wrong. “TV home makeover shows make it all appear so simple, and it”s easy to forget that these are highly skilled professionals. In reality, trying to tackle certain areas you are not qualified for, such as electrics or plumbing, could invalidate your home insurance policy, leaving you liable for any subsequent damage. We”d recommend using a reputable tradesman rather than going it alone,” explains Halifax Senior Claims Manager Martyn Foulds.

Allianz Insurance figures reveal that 55% of those surveyed claimed to have started a DIY job without the correct tools and almost 50% said they had started a DIY job without really knowing how to do it.

“Thankfully people can add accidental damage cover to their buildings and contents insurance to cover them for paint spilt on carpets or hammering a nail into a pipe,” says Simon Coughlin, spokesperson for Allianz Insurance.

Accidental breakage to some parts of the home such as sinks, baths, ceramic hobs and fixed glass in doors is included in most buildings insurance policies. However householders many need additional accidental damage cover to protect against common DIY disasters, such as drilling through water pipes, spilling paint on carpets or putting feet through ceilings.

So before you get bitten by the DIY bug this weekend make sure your policy covers all eventualities, otherwise it could prove to be a very expensive weekend. “We suggest DIY enthusiasts should check to see if their insurance policy covers them for accidental damage in case the job goes horribly wrong,” says Simon Coughlin. “The average cost of a claim for DIY related damage is ?600 and our claims staff expect to be busier than usual following a Bank Holiday weekend.” And, if in doubt, get an expert in to do the job!

Merchant Accounts - Understanding Payment Options for your Business

Posted under Credit by admin on Sunday 22 February 2009 at 8:08 am

Establishing payment methods for your small business is an important step to take when creating a successful business. In a credit based society, establishing a credit card payment system is a crucial step, as it opens up the doors for consumers to patronize your business both online and offline.

Establishing payment methods for your small business is an important step to take when creating a successful business. In a credit based society, establishing a credit card payment system is a crucial step, as it opens up the doors for consumers to patronize your business both online and offline.

Merchant accounts are underwritten by Visa/MasterCard member banks or designated Independent Service Organizations (ISOs) or Merchant Service Providers (MSPs) Processing is done through one of several authorized networks such as Global Payments or Vital. These networks offer the ability for businesses to accept credit cards using credit card equipment as well as online by using a virtual terminal or payment gateway such as Authorize Net.

Having a credit card payment system is important for most businesses to offer the consumer, but setting the system up requires several considerations. Credit card processing equipment and services are offered by a variety of companies, and each company will offer businesses different features and benefits.

These are some of the reasons why a business would want to establish a relationship with a merchant services company offering credit card equipment processing services:

• A reduction in the amount of bad checks that are written to the business fro customers.
• Credit card processing equipment offers a quick payment option for vendors, customers and clients. Also, many merchant companies offer an online feature that will be compatible with your current company website, allowing online consumers to purchase your products and services with their credit cards.
• The credit card payments are easily transferred directly into the business’s primary bank account.
• The credit card processing equipment makes it easy to accept credit card payments at a given physical business location, or off-site by using one of the newer wireless credit card terminals.

When you establish a relationship with a merchant services company, most will link their credit card processing services directly to your business bank account so that your deposits are easily transferred as you receive payments. Some merchant companies deduct the fees automatically from the transaction funded amount, while others bill the merchant once per money for all of the previous month’s fees. The later system is much better for bookkeeping ease and efficiency. Each month you will receive a monthly statement showing all of your business’s account activity for the previous month along with the fees that were charged.

When you are considering credit card equipment processing companies, one of the first things that you will likely consider is the cost. While there is a cost to use some company’s credit processing equipment, there are some very well established companies that offer their equipment for free when you become a customer. In addition to the equipment fees, you can expect to pay transaction fees and usually a monthly service fee or statement fee.

In addition to costs, you want to select a company that will provide you with quality service 24×7, quick terminal replacement in the event of malfunction, and one that will grow with your business as your needs change. As the consumer market is ever changing, you need a company that is willing to change with it, providing you with the most up to date credit card processing equipment and services available.

For some, it”s a terrible truth: some people just don”t want to live near children. Some of these are childfree people who don”t have and don”t want children. Others include retired people who have done their share of child-raising and now want to relax in the quiet of an area where there aren”t a lot of children causing noise and mischief. Despite the rising demand for housing geared towards people who do not focus on children as a big part of their daily life, there is still a lot of tension in the air when the proposal comes for adults-only housing.

The population of seniors is rising, along with the demand for retirement communities. The U.S. Census Bureau”s 2004 Fertility of American Women report found that 44.6 percent of the women involved in the census did not have children. Many were not expected to go on to have any - by choice. Because of the demand for housing from these two groups, realtors are targeting the childless demographic with smaller homes and more adult-only communities that are priced for retirees and working adults. The response has been significantly negative from pro-family groups and families themselves, who see the rising childfree population and demand for housing that is geared towards childless people as a threat to affordable housing for people with children.

Those who are anti-adult housing cite the federal anti-discrimination laws that make it illegal for developers and landowners to discriminate based on age. They ask, “where do the families go?” They warn about criminal elements creeping into a community with less children. They lament that developers won”t build affordable housing for people with children. They mention concerns about the creation and maintenance of safe places for children to play.

Many people desiring adult communities respond with horror stories of uncontrolled children vandalizing property, being noisy at all hours, tormenting pets and people and parents who shrug it all off as “kids will be kids”. They also cite unsightly toys and activity equipment strewn about lawns as a property devaluer. There is also the issue of older children being a threat in gangs. Their greatest anger is reserved for the parents who they see as refusing to teach their children the basic niceties of life and respect for others. They claim that a lot of crime is committed by people who are legally children, not adults and that these children later become the adults who commit more serious crimes as a result of poor parenting and the failure to instill good values.

One definite result of allowing more adult communities is that it will often lessen the conflict between parents and the childfree. The old adage, “good fences make good neighbors” is still true today. A community that does not accept children as tenants will provide a haven for those people who don”t take it in good part when little Johnny tramps through their garden with his three friends and his dog. Parents will be happy to find more housing to their liking where there are other parents. They certainly don”t want to be surrounded by people who can”t fathom why one would voluntarily change diapers and listen to the yells of children at play or have put that part of their life behind them and don”t want to experience it again anytime soon.

People not actively caring for children often have a positive effect on housing values. The childfree tend to have more money free to spend on houses and housing and may be able to afford houses that are less family friendly and more expensive than houses geared towards the childed. Houses near a well-run adult community with quality buildings will be likely to benefit from this part of town where value is high and crime is low. Childfree people also have more time to devote to community service, charities and cultural events, making them instrumental in many communities. Childfree people tend to be better educated and have better jobs than the national average, which enables many to take on positions where their knowledge and income can benefit their society. They are not tied down by family responsibilities and can immerse themselves in activities that parents may only be able to dabble in while their children are young.

Not everybody is cut out for having children. Not everybody wants to live in an area where there are children. However, this does not mean that parents and children will not benefit from supporting an adults-only community in their area. If nothing else, they should consider the tax dollars that they won”t be using for children of their own.

9 Stages of Buying a House

Posted under Taxes by admin on Sunday 22 February 2009 at 7:42 am

You’ve found your dream home, and had your offer accepted, what happens next? As purchasing a house is likely to be the biggest investment you’ll ever make, it is important to ensure that the right legal processes are followed in order that you can move in at the earliest opportunity and with as little problems as possible.
1. Preliminary Matters
Once you have instructed a solicitor to act on your behalf, Law Society and Governmental obligations mean that there are certain identity procedures that must be followed before your legal advisor can start work on your transaction. Therefore please do not be offended as your solicitor will ask you to provide proof of your identity to their office. Normally production of your original (and in date) passport, driving licence and at least one utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months showing you current residential address should suffice. Further documentation may be required depending on instructions received by the solicitor from your mortgage provider (if indeed you are obtaining mortgage finance in order to purchase).
2. Initial Paperwork
At the beginning of the purchase transaction the main focus is to ensure that all parties involved in the matter are aware of one anthers involvement. This is normally covered by the production of the selling Estate Agents Memorandum of Sale. This shows all parties names, addresses and contact numbers (including Buyer, Seller and their personal legal representatives). If no estate agent is involved then it is best to obtain this information directly from the Seller to pass to your solicitor.
Once all contact details are finalised the Seller’s solicitor should provide a contract package to your legal advisor for consideration.
The documentation contained within such contract package is as follows – draft contract for approval (normally in duplicate), HM Land Registry entries and official plan of the Title for the property concerned and Property Information Form and Fittings and Contents Form completed by the Sellers.
For properties held on a Leasehold tenure then additional documentation by way of copy Lease, Leasehold Information Form and Management Company details (for the communal areas of the estate) should also be produced.
In some circumstances a Home Information Pack (HIP) may be available for review by your solicitor. If that is the case then the Seller’s Estate Agent or legal advisor should pass this directly to them. You may have even been provided with a copy of this document yourself.
3. Investigation of Title
It is then down to your solicitor to start to raise technical enquiries concerning the title and physical state of the property you are hoping to buy to the Seller’s solicitor on your behalf. Many of the enquiries raised are so technical in nature that for your solicitor to properly explain them you would require a lengthy history lesson in Property Law. Therefore please do not be concerned if you solicitor states that enquiries have been made - without specifically listing them to you.
At this stage additional enquiries should also be made to the Local, Drainage, Environmental and Chancel Check authorities. Again your solicitor will make all such applications on your behalf. The fees for such searches should be provided to your legal advisor once you are satisfied you are willing to proceed. This is normally after receiving a satisfactory survey or confirmation that mortgage funding can be achieved. Please be aware that the searches fees cannot be retrieved once applied for. Therefore, if you decide to withdraw from the purchase transaction at this stage your search fees will be lost. From the results of such searches, your solicitor may be required to make further enquiries of the Seller’s legal advisors to obtain information or documentation relevant to the property (such as planning consents for extension and alterations).
It is important to recognise that the above process is absolutely necessary to ensure that there are no underlying problems that would prevent the purchase of your property. If any problems are discovered (which sometimes cannot be resolved,) your solicitor may advise you to withdraw your offer to buy. However, this is a last resort. Every effort is made to clear any potential problems before you proceed to complete.
It should be the motto of any property solicitor that a home is bought to be sold. If all necessary enquires are made before you are the legal owner (and providing you do not create any potential problems during your ownership) the sale of the same property should be relatively straightforward.
4. Mortgage Offer
During the above process your offer of mortgage may be produced by your lender. A copy will be sent to your home address and a duplicate will be provided to your solicitor. The latter will also enclose specialised documentation in order for your legal representative to request mortgage funds, secure your agreement to the mortgage and to provide documentation back to the lenders offices once registration of the property has been completed at HM Land Registry.
Your offer of mortgage may also enclose a valuation / surveyors report. If not, you may have instructed your own independent report through a surveyors office. In either case it is advisable for you to provide this report to your solicitor. Although they will not be able to provide you with a professional opinion on the reports, it may help them in identifying further issues for investigation with either the Estate Agents or the Seller’s Solicitors.
5. Signing the Contract
Once all enquiries have been answered, all searches and financial arrangements are in place, your solicitor will invite you to attend their office with a view to signing contract documentation. The appointment will cover the solicitors full investigation of title, reference to any technical enquiries posed to the Seller’s solicitors, the search results and mortgage offer (if applicable).
If you are happy to proceed with the transaction, you may sign the contract. At this stage the agreement is not binding.
If you are buying jointly with your partner or others, consideration should also be given at this stage as to how the property should be held between you. There are two options in English Law – Joint Tenants and Tenants in Common. Your legal advisor will guide you as to which option will suit your current circumstances.
6. Exchange of Contracts
When all parties in the chain are ready to proceed to exchange your solicitor will ask you to agree / propose a date for completion. This will be the date when you get to move in to your new house. The date is finalised by negotiation will all other buyer’s and seller’s involved in the chain.
You should then provide your deposit to your solicitor (in situations where you have a related sale it is common for the deposit offered on this transaction to be used on your onward purchase).
You solicitor will then finalise exchange of contracts with the Seller’s solicitors on your behalf. Now you are in a legally binding contract to purchase the property.
7. Preparing for Completion
Once you know the completion day, you can begin to book removal firms, inform utility companies and other interest parties of your change of address.
8. Completion Day
On completion day, your solicitor will forward the full amount of the purchase price to the Seller’s solicitors by way of bank transfer. Once received, you have completed the transaction and you will be the proud owner of your new home!
Your solicitor will ring to advise when all matters are finalised and when you are able to collect the keys to your house.
9. Post Completion
Once completion has taken place, your solicitor will pay the necessary Stamp Duty Land Tax to HM Revenue and Customs and will inform HM Land Registry of the change in ownership. When registration has been completed, the Land Registry will produce a formal copy of your title showing your details as the registered proprietor (and if applicable, give brief details of your mortgage provider). Your solicitor will forward a copy of the update title to you for your future reference.
Buying a home can be stressful, especially if you are also selling at the same time. Knowing the steps in the legal process will help you to understand what’s required in an effort to reduce the strain for you and your family.

Paperless Software eliminates Typing, is Environmentally favourable and Saves Paper

Monthahead : An Introduction

Abstract

MonthAhead enables its user to view bills and statements exactly as they were received, and in relation to their bank statement. Recycling paper quickly may be important to reduce carbon emissions. It is easy to scan paper into computers, but not so easy to find the scanned material later. If the scanned material were linked to an accounting system then it would be searchable. However this restricts its usage to only a small proportion of the population. MonthAhead uses Pattern Recognition to bypass the accounting system, making it usable by people without an accounting background.

1 Why recycling paper quickly may be important

How Much Paper is in One Tree? [sciencemadesimple]

It really all depends on the size of the tree. According to paper manufacturer Boise Cascade, however, a cord of wood (wood stacked 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet, or 128 cubic feet) produces nearly 90,000 sheets of paper or 2,700 copies of a 35-page newspaper!

128 cubic feet is equal to 3.62 cubic meters

How many sheets of paper in a filing cabinet ?

A typical filling cabinet can store about 9000 sheets of paper

How many cubic meters per hectare of forest ? [wrm pulping]

12 cubic metres or more per year per hectare.

This equates to 3.31 cords of wood per hectare of forest. And it equates to 297,900 sheets of paper or 33.1 filing cabinets of paper.

How many tonnes CO2 does a hectare of forest sequester? [Australian Greenhouse Office]

200-400 tonnes for a 20-35 year old tree. Trees and other plants take up (sequester) carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as they grow, through the process of photosynthesis. This decreases the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and helps reduce the greenhouse effect.

How many tonnes CO2 are not being sequestered per filing cabinet?

Between 0.1655 and 0.331 tonnes of CO2 are not being sequestered because of the paper in one filing cabinet. Take 200 tonnes per hectare divided by 33.1 is 0.1655 tonnes CO2 or 165.5kg CO2.

How many tonnes CO2 emission could be saved by 2 million users?

Between 331000 to 662000 tonnes of CO2 would be sequestered if 2 million users stored a filing cabinet of paper on their PC. In 2004, forest sinks contributed an 18 million tonnes offset against Australia”s total gross greenhouse emissions profile of 582 million tonnes (Mt) [Australian Greenhouse Office].

MonthAhead doesn”t require accounting knowledge.

Central to the idea of accounting is the concept of expenses and assets.

MonthAhead is based on the idea this can be approximated by the concepts of recurring and one-off cash flows.

MonthAhead can be given an example of a bank statement, from which it automatically identifies patterns in the data. It creates a list of creditors and debtors, as well as the schedule of transactions against these parties.

This enables the user to see a month view similar to their email inbox.

Microsoft Outlook is arguably familiar to the greatest number of users in the world, compared to any other software. As is the paper calendar.

It also enables the user to use the familiar idea of attaching paper or internet originating bills/statements.

But there is an elaborate trick behind this apparently and deceptively simple view. That is because when you receive a piece of paper in the mail (or via email or the internet), you haven”t paid it yet, so it cannot be in your banking file. MonthAhead is looking forward to show you its view. It again uses its pattern recognition engine for that.

MonthAhead is a month ahead of the bank statement

The idea of attaching or linking pictures with tabular views was made possible by new technology introduced with the Windows Vista operating system. But is this effective in getting rid of paper?

The organisations sending the most paper are the same ones identified by MonthAhead.

In the future, the way MonthAhead deals with data could be further reinforced by a server system, to which MonthAhead would be a client program.

History and testing

It is about two years since MonthAhead was first developed. It was developed independently with no support from government. The only support we received was from the Microsoft Partner program. It was branded Carromex MonthAhead and was awarded the Works with Vista logo. Copies and demonstrations were given to a number of individuals, and were well received.

Initially this was surprising, because MonthAhead was not based on exact methods, but heuristic ones. It was thought that what worked for one may not work for all. However people reported that they saw what they would expect to see, without exception. Furthermore it is possible for the user to make customisations. But the less they interfere with the automated analysis, the more effective it is likely to be in eliminating paper.

The first public release coincided with the release of Windows Vista. There have been seven or eight revisions. It was then discontinued. We have started an important project, and made an advance in research. Now we need a grant cum venture capital. Or it could be marketed by a multinational company.

Description

As a Microsoft ISV Partner and Microsoft Software Vendor, Carromex began to research the Windows Vista operating system. The new windows offered Windows Desktop Search, native .NET framework support, the XML paper specification, two scanning applications useful in different scenarios and much more.

MonthAhead is a desktop program, written in dotnet.

The client has been using MonthAhead for approximately one year. During that time, a number of challenges arose. Carromex PC users have ranged from home users, medical practices, academics, government users, engineering users and others.

It’s an asset in the Green Technology Race because the software can allow the user to discard paper bills and receipts.

Monthahead is a Personal Finance Software which scans in individual documents and “paper clips” them against related entries on a downloaded bank csv file. It’s called MonthAhead because it can collate information a month in advance of receiving a paper Bank statement. It has functions like Forecasting, Recurring, History.

The software can allow the user to discard paper bills and receipts.

For paperless recordkeeping without tedious data entry.

MonthAhead can show you the date of purchase for warranty claims, tax compliance, filling in forms etc. You do not have to type these dates in.

This is amazing given the confusing dates you find in all sorts of documents. Last payment date, due date, issue date, processed date, created date, modified date and so on. This also means you can browse in chronological order.

For users who are concerned about security, MonthAhead helps you achieve an offsite backup in an event of fire, burglary, storm damage or other forms of total loss.

Easy wizard based setup automatically helps :

·         manage ongoing business relationships by keeping full vendor history through desktop search

·         answer security questions and verify customer and supplier identities

·         lookup graphs and vendor summaries.

·         provide Security through encryption

·         Click once to scan and attach banking information to the scanned files

·         Browse payment date order using its index

·         Browse thumbnails in explorer.

Here are some key features of “MonthAhead”:

·         It can help save space in your home office.

·         You will find documents fast enough to use while you are on the phone.

·         You can retain documents for tax compliance, warranty claims, filling in forms and answering questions on the phone.

·         Find the payment date despite confusing dates on the file and in the contents.

·         Find the right document consistently and quickly.

·         And you can send a backup offsite to protect against adverse events like fire, burglary, storm damage etc.

MonthAhead Software requires a PC, Windows Vista Operating System, and access to an internet banking facility (others by request). MonthAhead now also works with Windows XP.

Today, people are earning in a lot. However, when the question to pay their tax comes, they show their back. Even well educated people do not feel to pay their tax on time. The problem of tax return will get solved very easily if everyone thinks that paying tax in time is their moral duty. A responsible person should pay their tax on time. Every year, list of rich businessmen and film stars are flashed in the newspapers who do not pay tax on time. They feel that paying tax is a great burden. There are many who play tricks when they have to pay their tax. People very cleverly hide their income. There are a section of people who is ready to pay tax but the whole procedure of filling forms and going to tax return office upset them. With the advent of tax return online, people can very easily pay their tax.

If a person does not return his or her tax on time, then he invites problem for himself as well as for the society. People should plan his tax from the very beginning to avoid problems. There are many rules and regulation for tax return. If a person violates the rules, then he will be put behind the bars. Every year, the government struggles to convince people to return their tax timely. With the upcoming of tax return online, one need not have to struggle with pen, paper and stamps. It is quite easy and safe. There are also some that offer optional live chat programs, so that you can ask your questions directly to a tax expert. A person who does not pay his tax is considered to be a criminal. He is a black spot for the society. At any time and at any place at your convenience, you can return your tax. The process takes place very fast and it is free from any error. Earlier people hesitate to pay their tax but now the scenario has changed. People are eagerly coming forward to pay their tax. Today, tax payment has become a matter of status symbol. People who pay highest tax are considered that his position in the society is very high.

Forms to be used for filing return

* The forms Saral, Naya Saral, 2D, 2E are now outdated and can not be used to file returns.

* Salaried employees should use either ITR1 or ITR2 to file returns.

* Form ITR1 is applicable for individuals having Income from Salary, Pension, and/or interest.

* Form ITR2 is applicable for all other individuals not having income form business and profession. I.e., if you have income/loss from house property, capital gains and/or other sources, you should use ITR2.

* The new ITR forms are annexure-less, i.e., you do not need to attach any documentary proof such as Form 16, investment proof, etc
