Making Your Mark  

A phone card purchase represents prepaid long distance phone time. It is paid in advance and can be used over a period of time. It can be used to make one phone call or it can be used to make multiple calls to more than one destination. Each phone card has a unique number or PIN code so a computer can track the usage and deduct the charge for each call from the starting value or “face value” of the phone card. Some phone cards expire if not used by a certain period of time while other phone cards have no expiration date.

A Phone Card is used by dialing a special phone number which is referred to as an access number. Some phone cards have one access number and others have multiple numbers. Access numbers can be local or they can be toll free. In any case, a phone card is used by dialing an access number and following the prompts in order to place a call. In some cases, one of the prompts will request the user to enter a PIN code to identify the phone card being used. Some phone cards do not require the user to enter a PIN code. These PIN-Free phone cards require the user to register the phone number or numbers where they plan to make calls from and the computer can track their usage with caller ID technology. PIN-Free phone cards a much easier to use since the caller does not need to enter a special code whenever they want to place a call. PIN-Free dialing is a common feature found with high quality virtual phone cards that are purchased from on-line merchants.

Phone cards are purchased in denominations that range from $2 to $100 or more. It is usually best to purchase the smallest denomination first and try using the card before making a large purchase. Prepaid phone cards can be purchased from newsstands, convenience stores, retail stores and from INTERNET merchants. Since prepaid phone cards can have a variety of added costs and hidden fees it is best to study the details and fine print of a phone card before making a purchase. Some phone cards also have limited usage. For example, they can only be used to make domestic long distance calls or to make international long distance calls to specific countries. Be sure to understand the limits of a phone card before making a purchase.

On-line phone cards can typically be purchased using a major credit card or Pay Pal account. Many on-line phone card merchants provide buyers with a user account where the details of the users phone cards are stored. This can be a handy feature for people who make frequent calls and want to track usage. Virtual phone cards like Tel3Advantage come with a variety of features including on-line account management, PIN Free Dialing, call history and speed dial which makes the product very convenient to use.

Many people find prepaid phone cards to be a convenient, money saving product. Prepaid phone cards are convenient since they can be used to make calls from any kind of telephone. They can also save consumers money since the rates are typically cheaper than those offered by phone companies and, since payment is made in advance, they can be used to budget and control phone expense. Phone cards are typically used by people who regularly call overseas, travelers, students and those who do not have regular long-distance phone service.

You may have heard of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which is also known as the FDCPA. You might have thought “that’s interesting”, but if you find yourself struggling with debt, suddenly this acronym could become very meaningful to you.

The FDCPA is a United States statute that outlines the way debt collectors and collection agencies can go about their work. It also states that consumers have the right to question and get written proof of the original debt. Most importantly it doles out punishment if the act is violated.

The collection agency must not fudge the figures and request that you pay more than is owed. They cannot enrich the amount by adding on charges such as fees, interest or late charges that weren’t included in your initial contract.

These days nearly everyone runs short of funds occasionally. Sometimes that means a short period of inconvenience but at other times it can be devastating. Having to repair a furnace in mid-winter, for example, is an emergency that can’t be put off. But where can you get the funds to fix it, especially if you’ve already run through your savings for other emergencies?

If you’ve heard of “payday” loans and are considering one of those then run, don’t walk, as far as you can from those storefront operations. Because of the way the interest and fees are structured, you could find yourself in a cycle of debt that’s nearly impossible to escape.

For decades big banks have relied on commercial real estate as one of the most profitable segments of their portfolio. That is because larger commercial projects have been considered more reliable because lenders use more stringent evaluations of both the borrower and the risks than is the case with smaller projects.

Large banks have dominated the commercial real estate sector because of the large amounts of money involved. But the meltdown of 2008 has forced most big US banks to make serious changes in their commercial real estate lending policies. And these changes are having an important impact on commercial lending.

Big banks with extensive exposure to real estate markets are pruning marginal accounts in an attempt to limit their exposure. This sometimes even involves telling clients in good standing to move their accounts somewhere else. And in many cases whether a commercial deal looks good or not it will not go ahead with a large bank because they have decided their exposure in that sector is already too high.

Not surprisingly this creates opportunities for other lenders: small banks and brokers with connections to other sources of commercial real estate capital. These smaller lenders are often willing to consider good deals that the large banks no longer find attractive.

Here are three tactics used by debt collectors that are now illegal under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, more commonly referred to as the FDCPA.

1. If a debt collector threatens to take any action they do not really intend to take, that is breaking the law.

2. If a debt collector threatens you with imprisonment, garnishment of your bank account, or foreclosure of your property, that is breaking the law.

3. If a debt collector contacts you before 8am or after 9pm, that is breaking the law.

Virtually all of us are debtors to some extent or another, and this law was passed to stop harassment and threats being made by debt collectors to take advantage of people who are disputing that they owe a debt, or are simply unable to pay because of their financial circumstances.

Know your rights before discussing your situation with any debt collector. Be sure to keep a careful record of all contacts you have with anyone attempting to collect a debt from you. And if you are being harassed, discuss your case with an attorney who specializes in debt relief law. This is a serious issue and should be reported if you think that you’ve experienced it.

Although Laguna Woods Village is one of the most affordable senior communities in Southern California, there are still financial requirements for purchasing a home in Laguna Woods Village.  For a Co-op, you need $125,000 in liquid, marketable, or income producing assets above the purchase price and $36,000 per year in income…  Now, family can co-sign with the resident (i.e. – your sister and you and help out your dad) in order to reach the financial requirements.  “Assets” can include equity in a property (do you or your sister own a home?), 401 k, IRA, stocks and bonds, income producing property, etc.
 
It is very common for a daughter or son to “go on title” 1% so their finances can help their parents move into Laguna Woods Village…  Also, another bit of information or “work around” that we have is any resident that gets a loan for more than 50% of the purchase price (i.e. – put down 20% cash and get a loan for 80% of the purchase price as an example) the financial requirements “may be waived” upon the judgment of the board.  We have found that the financial requirements will be waived for one or the other of the requirements if the resident gets a loan for more than 50% of the purchase price.  In other words, if you meet the income requirements but not the asset requirements – you are in – typically.

I don’t know if these financial requirements help in making the City of Laguna Woods one of the “Top 10 Safest Cities in the Nation”, which it is, but it sure can’t hurt!

With the proliferation of cell phones many people question whether the traditional home phone is really necessary any more.  Many households maintain a home phone even though they have a cell phone family plan where all members of the household have a cell phone and individual phone number.  For many, keeping a traditional home phone is a sensible option since it is cheaper than paying for cell phone air time for receiving calls, calling toll free numbers or making local calls.  It may also be necessary for emergencies (911 calls) or for alarm systems or other monitoring devices.  However, traditional long distance phone service is likely not necessary or even an economical option. 

In most cases using prepaid long distance is a far cheaper option than using traditional long distance from the phone company.  Prepaid long distance like that offered by Tel3Advantage is very convenient and costs nothing if it is not used.  So consumers only pay for calls they actually make at dirt cheap rates with no taxes or added fees.  Tel3 only charges 1.9 cents per minute for long distance calls made to North American (USA and Canada) destinations.  This means that a consumer can use more than 500 minutes for a mere $10.  Rates are slightly higher for international calls depending on the location called but they are up to 95% cheaper than phone company rates.  It is also easy to open an account and there is nothing to change, it can be used from any phone or with any existing phone service.  An account can be opened in a couple of minutes by visiting the Tel3Advantage website or calling 800 441 0321.
