How To Protect Yourself From Home Improvement Loan Scams

Unfortunately, the remodeling industry is not immune to some of the scams that pop up every so often. However, if you use good sense and take some basic precautions you can avoid becoming a victim of these deceptions.

One scam to be aware of and avoid is when a contractor calls or comes to your house and offers to do remodeling work at a price that sounds reasonable. You’re interested, but you can’t afford it. He tells you that it’s not a problem - he can arrange for financing through a lender he knows. You agree to let him go ahead with the project, and he begins work.

Credit Market Meltdown

Part One - Supply, Supply, and more Supply!

It is important to understand the past clearly before charting the future. As a large institutional bond investor by day, in the thick of the credit market meltdown, I have a perspective on the current market that is more detailed and complicated than what you will read on the front pages or hear CNBC constantly harp about. The Fed has lowered rates 50 basis points, not to placate the markets, but because it understands and realizes that this crisis is much more complex than others we have witnessed in the past 15 years. The Russia default, Long Term Capital bailout and the bursting of the Technology bubble, were all significant events but did not affect the consumer and the globe to the same degree as the current situation.

Stop Colletion Calls And Letters

California and Federal law require collection agents and creditors to stop contact by telephone or mail after receipt of a “stop contact” letter. The letter sent by you to each individual creditor or collection agent creates a legal duty upon them to cease contact.

However such a letter may result in your creditor starting a formal collection by filing a lawsuit to obtain judgment. Most will just stop the collection process and suspend any action. The decision to pursue you in court is costly to the creditor. He will have to feel you have sufficient attachable assets they may levy to collect or you have income they may attach.
