www.AssociationForResponsibleLending.org The Foundation for Safe and Responsible Lending Consumer installment loans, long considered the foundation for safe and responsible lending, are in vogue again. This proven money management practice for personal debt is based on sound financial principles and good insight into human nature. Personal installment loans are a transparent, affordable and disciplined form of credit which helps consumers meet important economic needs. In critical circumstances, these loans also help smooth out income fluctuations and disruptions from unexpected events like car repairs or medical expenses. An installment loan provides a properly structured and timely repayment schedule based on an individual’s actual ability to pay. It also inherently creates the satisfaction associated with achieving important financial goals through the practice of personal responsibility. Protecting Consumer Access to Responsible Credit Consumers Making Good Decisions for the Right Reasons The Same As It Was Over 100 Years Ago With traditional installment loans, the process today is the same as it was over 100 years ago.

Many Britons could be left with financial problems after it emerged that credit card companies may not pay out for losses incurred due to the Icelandic volcano. It had previously been believed that even if travel insurance did not cover travellers, card providers would have to refund them due to breach of contract by the airlines. However, those who have racked up extra debt caused by enforced holiday extensions may not get the relief. This is because in ‘exceptional’ or ‘act of God’ circumstances, the airlines’ small print dictates that they cannot be held in breach of contract. If the airlines are not in breach, then the UK Cards Association argues that the credit card industry does not have to pay out to help those who now risk personal debt problems. Kevin Still, director of Atlantic Financial Mangement, says: “Natural disasters seem to be contributing more and more to rising insurance premiums and other payment shocks, sometimes creating serious debt problems where households do not have financial reserves for unexpected expenditure. We have seen this reflected in the rise in inflation, which has the effect of squeezing disposable income.”

Gemuce promoting The Calabash Bank at Asda, Huntly. Huntly’s current resident artist is Pompílio Hilário, a drawing, painting, installation and video artist hailing from Maputo, Mozambique. His project Money Crunch will be exploring personal debt in a local context while making analogies to the national debt crisis in Africa. Questioning the effects the spirit of consumption has on our daily lives, Gemuce will confront our incapacity to manage without money, exploring how those who invented monetary exchange have become slaves to the power of global finance. Trained as an artist in Kiev during the time of Soviet-socialist regime, his practice brings together his African roots with eastern European revolutionary imagery. His experience in Kiev has shaped his political and artistic approach, as an artist trained a propagandist arts tradition; he has transformed himself into an artist interested in paradox and dichotomy.

The money we have borrowed must be paid back. Citizens cannot expect to keep getting benefits, like unemployment and Medicare/Medicaid, provided by the government without paying for them. We cannot keep borrowing to pay for our indulgence.

www.myfirsthomenewsletter.com Spending – The Playing Field Has Changed – The downward shift to lower priced products and less conspicuous consumption is unlikely to see a rapid reversal in 2010. The spike in sales for Christmas 2009 should not automatically be seen as a turning point. High levels of personal debt, uncertainty over job prospects and general nervousness about the economy could lead to a more permanent 3-5 year downward shift in market behaviour.
