Debt Collection Scams: Protecting Yourself

March 9th, 2010 by Mallory Megan

The government is stepping up as debt collection scams rise. In recent news, Buffalo New York has been home to a number of unlawful debt collection practices, and authorities have arrested at least twelve people. Although the vast majority of collection agencies are legitimate and good for the economy, there has been a rising amount of deceptive and illegal practices.

In Buffalo, people have been caught calling up debtors and posing as law enforcement. They have threatened to send people that owe money in jail, or even take child custody away from them. And it doesn’t stop there.

A recent civil case imposed a $675,000 penalty ever imposed on a debt collection business, for illegal and deceptive practices. This includes badgering and lying to consumers, disclosing their debt to third parties, and cashing in on post dated checks early. These tactics were accompanied by deceptive claims from agents saying they were lawyers or other figures of authority.

In addition to refusing to reveal the address or phone number of the “company” these agents even went as far as to call individuals who did not owe any money at all and attempted to collect from them. Despite claims that it was individual workers acting fraudulently, the Federal Trade Commission went after the business owners and won a case that imposed the biggest penalty ever for debt collection agencies.

To skirt around the issue of being a victim to fraudulent debt collection agencies, it is crucial that you know your rights. A debt collection company is never permitted to seize a debtor’s assets, bank accounts, or paychecks. They are unable get a debtor fired from their occupation, and cann’t make any kind of public disclosures concerning the debt, and they can definitely never threaten or engage in violent acts.

To be more informed, refer to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which will list the rules and regulations of collections.

Renovation Tips Before Selling Your Flat

March 9th, 2010 by Vivian Furrows

If you are planning to sell your HDB flat and you desire to get as many buyers as you can as well as a good selling price, there is one thing you might want to consider, RENOVATION.

To get you started, there are a couple of things you need to think about. First, understand how the sales price work. Of course you will not want to invest so much on renovation and end up loosing in the end. Try to research how much a renovated house can sell in the market.

Think like a buyer. And what exactly do buyers do? When they go to your house they step inside and look around. Steve Berges author of the book called “101 Cost Effective Ways to Increase the Value of Your Home” formulated guidelines that will give a very good impression for home buyers once they step in to your place, these includes the following:

1. Spend money on what can be seen vs. what can’t be seen. Looking at your budget, Berger mentioned that you put a higher priority on improvements that can be easily seen because those will you give the best return of investment.

2. Improve up the exterior first, then the interior. Ugly exterior can cause potential buyers to drive away without going inside the house, you should work on those first.

3. Clear up any trash and make sure your HDB flat is clean and good smelling. This is a very easy thing to do. You dont have to invest so much money on this one, but if you missed to do it, you can loose potential buyers as well as good deals.

For best results, Berges recommends that you seek the advice of real estate agents who are familiar how the HDB market in Singapore works and who has a very good idea on the optimal renovations that gives the best impact.
