Mortgages Get Tighter
By Rhia | November 5, 2007
The Federal Reserve said today that more and more banks are tightening their lending standards on home mortgages. This is yet another sign of the spreading credit crisis in the US.
Whether your credit history is good or bad, the banks are making changes on lending for the different mortgages they offer.
In the July Federal Reserve survey, only 15% of the banks said they were tightening standards on prime mortgages (borrowers with strong credit history). When the survey was taken again in early October, that figure now changed to 41%. The banks that were included in the survey account for about 75% of all residential real estate loans from commercial banks.
Many of the banks that were offering subprime mortgages (borrowers with weak credit history) are no longer offering these loans. The few banks that still offer subprime mortgages, have tightened standards.
These changes are not only hitting the residential mortgages, but the commercial mortgages as well.

The companies that provide free debt consolidation services don’t restrict themselves to debt consolidation loans though. There are many credit counseling agencies that are non-profit. These agencies assist consumers in getting their bad credit under control.
Many with poor credit actually prefer free debt consolidation services. Most for-profit services prefer consumers with better credit scores. This is because they are more likely to receive full payment for the help they provide. This is where the subsidies help support free debt consolidation companies so they have the choice of helping people who are higher risk and lower credit scores.
Even with all the benefits of for-profit debt consolidation services most people actually prefer to use the free debt consolidation services to help with their bad credit debt consolidation. But with many things there are scam companies out there that you need to be on the look out for. They will be quick to exploit this preference and claim to be a “free” service when they really are not. Always be sure to confirm the credibility of any company or organization that claims to be a “free” debt consolidation service. If you don’t you could end up even more in debt then before.
