Loan Options for People with Bad Credit

At one time in our history banks and other financial institutions would grant a loan to anyone, even if they had previously had issues with repayment based solely on knowing the person because in those times they knew that the client was “good for it”. Those days are long since gone. Today’s financial institutions have to consider the money that they are adding to their own bottom line above the personal relationships they have with their customers. They can no longer justify approving a loan application for a client, though they may have a long standing relationship, if the applicant cannot show a positive credit score. There are options available for the applicants, but those options will cause them to look outside of the traditional financial institutions.

Loan options for those with bad credit come in a variety of shapes and sizes dependant on the applicants needs. Options are available for personal loans, home equity loans, home mortgages, as well as vehicle loans. Read more…

About 100 evacuated as fire burns outside Yosemite

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — About 100 people have been ordered to leave their homes as wildfire burns outside Yosemite National Park.

Officials say the residents of the community of Rancheria were told to evacuate Saturday evening.

The blaze, which is burning in a steep and rugged area of thick forests along Highway 140, has also forced the indefinite closure of the roadway.

The highway, one of the main entrances to the park, is shut down for nearly a 15-mile stretch from just east of the town of Mariposa to about two miles outside of the park’s entrance.

Park officials are suggesting tourists traveling to Yosemite take Highway 120 or Highway 41 instead. The Tioga Road is also open for visitors entering the park on Highway 395

With the blaze 35 percent contained Sunday morning, officials say the fire is not expected to be contained until Sept. 9.

Bernanke proposes no new steps to boost economy

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — Chairman Ben Bernanke is proposing no new steps by the Federal Reserve to boost the economy while hinting that Congress may need to act to stimulate hiring and growth.

Bernanke said Friday that while record-low interest rates will promote growth over time, the weak economy requires further help in the short run. He is speaking at an annual economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo.

His speech follows news that the economy grew at an annual rate of just 1 percent this spring and 0.7 percent for the first six months of the year. Only slightly healthier expansion is foreseen for the second half.

Bernanke said he’s optimistic that the job market and the economy will return to full health in the long run.

Stocks fell lower after the speech was released. The Dow had been down about 78 points, about 0.7 percent, shortly before 10 a.m.

Architects feel slowdown in both orders, inquiries

A depressed housing market, tighter credit conditions and rising costs of key construction commodities are causing local business and community leaders to think twice before giving designers and developers the green light to build.

Alan Lamson, a principal architect and planning director in East Hartford, is concerned the government’s efforts to balance the national budget could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.

While his firm, FLB Architecture & Planning Inc., is busy these days doing more zoning and permit work for clients, Lamson says his backlog has already started to shrink.

“We used to have projects in the pipeline that went out as far as a year,” Lamson said. “Those days are gone. Now it’s about four or five months at most.”

At URS Corp. in Rocky Hill, the backlog is even shorter.

“It’s stable but slow right now,” said Paul Schmidt, vice president of URS Corp. “We’re burning thro
