Investment managers vs. strapped tycoons Ynetnews
A Calcalist survey held over the past few days reveals that the absolute majority of bank investment managers believe in boycotting companies whose controlling interest has outstanding financial obligations, until the debt is repaid by one of his companies.Eighty-two percent of the investment consultants who participated in the survey said they would categorically hold back on investing in companies whose controlling interest has not fulfilled the financial obligations of his other companies.
Only 18% of the participants said that each company in a consolidation should be regarded as a separate legal entity therefore there is no reason not to invest in other companies held by said holder of controlling interest.
The decision in principle implied by the survey seems particularly pertinent on the backdrop of the Yitzhak Tshuva's Delek Group bid to raise NIS 50 million (about $15 million) in a public bond offering Monday following last Thursday's institutional offering. Concurrently, Delek Real Estate, another company under Tshuva's control, is expected to publicize its debt rescheduling scheme.

I'm in horrible debt, should i try a debt consolidation company? Advise needed please.?
I tried getting a loan to consolidate my debt, although I've NEVER been late on a single payment, my credit is still bad due to all the debt I have. I need help or I'm going to really fall through. I now have a baby due in just a few months and am trying to get everything together before that date. Has anyone tried using a debt consolidation company? I am almost deserperate and have def. changed my spending habits drastically. Soon, i'll need to budget in diapers, babywipes, baby clothing, etc etc and at this point.. i'm not even sure i'll be able to afford my own rent soon. Please help.Thanks.
Please don't use a credit consolidation company. It will effect your credit report like a bankruptcy, it will take you longer to get out of debt, and it will cost you more money than you owe now. Here is a plan that can help you. If you work the plan, the plan will work for you.
A. Have a garage sale and sell whatever you don't use or need and use that money to pay down your debt.
B. Consider getting a temporary part time job and use all of that salary to pay off your debt quicker. It is better to have a no fun year
than a no fun decade.
1. Make a budget. Make the budget a week before you get paid. A budget is not a punishment! It is a tool which will free you from ever having to worry about money again. Put everything in your budget. Especially those annual, biannual, or quarterly bills like car registration, insurance, etc. Give every dollar you are going to bring home the name of where it is going. Add an "emergency fund" category to your budget for 25 dollars and save up until you have 1000-1250 dollars. Your emergency fund will help keep you from getting into new debt because of an emergency. If you can, set up a direct transfer to a savings account for your emergency fund. That way it moves automatically and you don't even have to worry about it. You must cut your spending and live on less than you make.
2.First get current on all of you debts, if you are not already, and make no more late payments, if you have had any. Stop using your credit cards immediately. Do not take on any more debt. Credit cards are like quicksand only the death is much slower. Make a list of all of your debts in order of highest interest rate to lowest interest. Use cash only for your spending from now on.
3.Pay the minimum due on all of your debts and then put your extra money towards paying off the highest interest one first. After you get that one paid off, you put the money you were paying on debt #1 (the minimum payment and the extra payment) towards debt #2. That will pay debt #2 off faster. When that is paid off, you put all three payments towards card #3 and that one will be paid off pretty quickly. As an example:
To start :
Debt #1 (highest interest): minimum payment+ extra payment
Debt #2 (middle interest): minimum payment
Debt #3(lowest interest): minimum payment
Debt #1: paid off
Debt #2: minimum payment from Debt #1+ Minimum payment from Debt #2 +extra payment
Debt #3: minimum payment
Debt #1: paid off
Debt #2: paid off
Debt #3: minimum payment from card #1+ minimum payment from Debt #2+ minimum payment from Debt #3+ extra payment.
That way, you will get them all paid off, on time, and pay the least interest. It will also help towards rebuilding your credit since you will no longer have any late payments. This works no matter how many different debts you may have.
4. After you get all of your debts paid off, add to your emergency fund until you have 6-12 months of income saved up. Put that emergency fund money into a liquid money market fund or into a Bank of America no-risk CD so that if you need the money you can take it out without penalty.
5a. When you have your emergency fund in place, add a category for "fun" to your budget. Save for a holiday, a vacation, a big screen, or dinners out, whatever goal you want. Remember to enjoy your life.
5b. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your retirement. Join the 401(k) plan at work and contribute the maximum. Your employer probably matches at least part of your contribution so why give up free money? Open a Roth IRA and contribute the maximum on a monthly basis. If you start saving for your retirement now, you will probably retire a millionaire.
5c. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your next car. Only buy cars, or other things that depreciate, with cash. Save up for a nicer car. That way you get the interest instead of paying the interest.
This is not the way it is supposed to work, but alot of these companies are getting away with it.
Check into the WIC program for you and your baby. Chances are, you will be eligible for it. Good luck!
It is great you have recognized the evil of debt.
Have a yard sale and take all of the money and pay off the smallest debts first.
Zero out as many of the smaller debts as possible, having fewer debts will help you stay calmer and more able to manage the remaining debts.
Now that the yard sale has reduced some of the clutter in your home and you have a bit of experience. Have another yard sale. See if you can sell some more. Mark everything. Get some friends to help you.
Okay. Now you have remaining debt. Can you return any of the items to free you from that debt? Can you take in babysitting to help get rid of some more dept?
The coming baby, have your best friend throw you a baby shower. You can use cloth diapers and really save LOTS of money. Use face clothes instead of baby wipes, or make your own baby wipes of cloth. By baby clothes from yard sales and resale shops reducing costs by 75% or more. You will have to really budget your money, but get out of debt now. The country is getting bad. You've got to be prepared. You can do it.
i received a loan of 15kcanada dollars from this loan lender pls help me to
greet Mr Steve Davidson,this was how i saw his advertisement on net,
Banks will loan you only if you have a excellent credit / Good Paying
Job or a great cosigner.
Since you will not be having all these stuffs and your credit level is poor you
may forget to get a loan from banks. Banks normally don't loan for people who
have bad credit.
The one and only chance for you is registered private loan lenders. Most of
this lenders have their base target in internet. So search online and get in
touch with this type of lender. One of my friend got 65K loan from a internet
based loan lender. The interesting part is the money is lended in a weeks time
and the interest rate is very much affordable. So this is my advise. Visit any
lenders and apply online.
I hope davidsonsteve11@yahoo.com, will help you in getting a loan with bad
credit, loan online.THEY OFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which you the best....................
can anyone give me advise on debt consolidation??
im 22 and my bf is 26 we have alot of bills right now and money is really tight im getting tired of worring about how we are going to pay bills every month and about leaving bills unpayed.....can some one please help me out with some advise on what to do???
Financial trouble is the number 1 cause of family problems, married or unmarried. Answering this type of question is difficult to do because their are so many things in which need to be considered.
If you have more bills than money, then you have only 2 options....either cut your bills, or make more by taking on 2nd and 3rd jobs, and in the best case scenario....do both.
I know that it is easier said than done, but this does work unless there are medical conditions or children involved. I say this from experience, and continue to this day working 2 jobs.
If you have no skills, or limited, you really need to consider upgrading your worth in the marketplace. Go to a trade school or community college...this will help you make more.
As for worrying about bills that are going unpaid.....just list all of your bills from most important to the least...this will get you started....
1. rent
2. utilities
3. gas/fuel
4. groceries....
and so on, once you identify paying for needs....cut out the wants....cut off your cable/satellite, phones, internet and so on. I know it's not a pleasant life to do away with what I'm mentioning.......but if you don't change something.......it will surely change you...and you are already feeling those changes or you wouldn't be here seeking advice.
I do wish you well kiddo.
I am filling bankrupsty because we went threw a debt consolidation that completely screwed us. Any advise?
We are now going to be getting attorneys calling us because we tried to do our best after losing wage amounts then my job. But now they are saying they are going to garnish wages and we were advised to file bankruptsy. And the debt consolidation place we went threw really screwed us. Took our money and gave really bad advise, so I am a bit scared going into this. Anyone out there with advise on what I should do. if they garnish my husbands wages we will not be able to even feed our kids, so we are doing what we said we would not do. But like I just said I am a bit scared about this whole thing and I am looking for honest adivse...
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also called a “wage-earner’s bankruptcy,” allows you to propose a plan to repay creditors over time–usually five years. Your monthly payment amount will be based on your monthly disposable income as defined by the bankruptcy code. After you have made payments to your creditors for five years, any remaining unsecured debts will be discharged. Chapter 13 is commonly used by debtors whose assets exceed the exemptions offered by state law. It is also used by many consumer debtors who do not qualify for Chapter 7 relief under the means test, which went into effect in 2005 with the Bankruptcy Reform Act.
If you are considering filing bankruptcy, you should consult with an attorney to find out if bankruptcy will benefit your financial situation. I encourage you to read more about bankruptcy at the Bills.com Bankruptcy Information page at http://www.bills.com/bankruptcy
you have two bankruptcy options 13 which you have to pay a portion of the debt back, or 7 were you don't have to pay any back. as to having credit when the bankruptcy is done, You will have better credit and will be able to get new loans , but you'll probably have a higher interest rate.
They cannot garnish more than 25% of your paycheck and most states have lower limits. They also can't make you suffer either, and the court would never leave you without enough money to feed your kids.
Sounds like bankruptcy is a good idea for you, and you can start over.
I'm totally against debt consolidation companies. There are very few reputable ones out there!
Don't look at bankruptcy as a horrible thing, look at it as a fresh start, a chance to start over.
Check out www.creditboards.com/forums/ There will be some great advice on filing and rebuilding after. Best of luck! Here's to getting a good night's sleep for once!
Debt consolidation?
I have about $6,500 worth of debt, my income after taxes is about 21,000 a year. Most of my creditors have closed my accounts (all of my credit is maxed out). I recently got my FICO score and it is 529 (very, very poor). I have called some companies that specalize in debt consolidation and I have been told that I do not have "enough debt". I talked to a professional about bankruptcy and was advised against filing because I do not have "enough debt". I am a renter, and do not have any assets that could be held for collateral. With my credit score being the way it is, and closed accounts on my credit record... what are my options?
You don't need anyone to do it for you. All they do is negotiate your debts for you and collect a fee. You can do it yourself!
Call all of them and work out a payment plan and try to get your interest lowered or stopped.
Then, make the minimum payments on every one of them. On the lowest dollar value, put all your extra effort toward paying it off. Once it is paid off, then roll that extra money to the next largest balance. Continue this snowball until all your debts are paid off.
You proabbly need to cut your expenses back to the bare minimum. Get rid of cable, cell phones, internet, etc. Lower your electric bill, gas bill, water bill, etc. Don't eat at a restaurant until your debts are under control.
Try to increase your income by getting a second job. If you have a car with payments, get rid of it, and buy a good dependable used car for CASH.
Go to the library and get "The Total Money Makeover". Read it and follwo it carefully.
Go check out Dave's website as well.
www.daveramsey.com
Get a second job till the debt is payed. Pay it off as fast as you can and be done with it.
Can anyone refer me to a good debt consolidation center?
I have all sorts of debt. 3 closed checking accounts and one closed savings account, a closed credit card account, and four bounced checks. Does anyone know of a solid debt consolidation firm that can help me? Most won't handle overdrawn bank accounts, and I can't find one for the life of me. The total debt is somewhere around $7,000. The sad thing is that I am a college student who got in trouble with gambling, and now I'm trying to come clean. Please advise! Thanks in advance!
yup! been there done that! Try Genus!!! I was sooooo over my head when I first went to them. I had school loans, a computer loan, medical bills piling up sky high..they take anything over 200 bucks...and you can add any bill that you can't vouch for..only u CAN'T use a house or auto notes...and as for how much they ask for, for helping you? they ask for donations. I agreed to pay them $10. buck a month for them helping me out. You have to give all the info of the bills...you have to cancel all credit cards you plan on adding to this program...They will send out letters to each one telling them what you can afford and what you can't, they have to agree with this plan (and I didn't have NO problems getting them to agree to Genus) and I wound up paying only 145 bucks a month total for over 10,000 bucks I owed altogether...they cancel all late fees, all finance fees and any other hidden fees! took over two years to get this down, but it was so worth it! good luck!
Consolidation is when you get a loan that covers all of your debt and you make one payment. Usually the best way to do this is by refinancing your home.
DON'T CONSOLIDATE. All that does is create another bill, because you will still be free to use those credit cards. It won't save you much money on interest, either. Bad idea.
fisrt, do not gambling no more
second, focus on your study
third, let them settle your debt with less,ask your folks to chip in
do not use credit card for awhile

Which is the better option in regards to reducing debt: debt consolidation or debt settlement (negotiation)?
There has been considerable debate between two specific debt reducing options: debt consolidation and debt settlement (negotiation). I'm trying to decide which is the best option to select if one wants to reduce their financial debt (specifically credit card debt). I'm sure there's pros and cons to both options, however which is more effective? Please advise.
depends. If you can make the payments and have good enough credit You can consolidate all your debts into one. Pile cash on it till its gone. As long as you are making the min payment as agreed then Your credit will not take a beating.
It would be best just to list your debts smallest to largest and pay off the smallest first while making min payments on the rest. Then after you pay off the smallest take that money and pay the next smallest debt.
Most People will tell you to pay the highest interest first. Interest rate is not the problem. Its the spending. If you work from smallest to largest you will see progress faster which will keep you motivated to move on to the next.
If you cannot make the payments, thats when you have to go with a settlement. It will trash your credit.
I wouldnt use any company that you have to pay. Most if not all of these companies will not pay your creditors for months and then try and settle for less. No special skills. They just dont pay. Even the companies that have the word "Consolidation" in thier name.
Remember if you use a some company and they dont pay your creditors. You, and you alone will still be responsible for the debt. Your creditors will come after you and not the company you hired.
Does getting a debt consolidation loan mess up your credit?
whats the best place to get a consolidation loan for debts with fair credit ... i dont want to mess up my credit anymore please advise...how soon an i purchase a home after getting this type of loan? i would like a starter home soon im tired of paying rent i want to consolidate all my bills into 1 payment and purchase a home please advise on situation and suggest areas to move too... thanks
Aggie is right. Debt consolidation loans in and of themselves aren't the problem. Not paying the minimum payments is. You can purchase a home immediately, too, if the credit is sufficient and the income can support both house and debt. Just don't jump into buying a house if you don't have some savings. It's easy to get in than it is to stay in sometimes.
debt consolidation?how to do it?
im so depressed im in 1000's of pounds of debt with variouse companys i dont know how to consolidate debt.any advise?
DO NOT CONSOLIDATE
You must get proper FREE advice
local CAB, or your local council wil have free advice centre, of debtline ( www.nationaldebtline.co.uk)
do not go and pay for help.
the free help will advise you on pulling together a budget on what you have coming in - where you can cut spending and who to pay first priority debts - mortgage, council tax, etc things that mean you may lose you house if you don't pay
the others , credit cards, loans , banks, catalogues can all wait - but you will need help in coming to an agreement with them to freeze interest and accept minimum payments over time..
IT can be solved - your not the first and you won''t be the last....
Best advice to someone with $100k in revolving credit card debt?
We have a friend that told us just the other day that her and her husband are drowning in credit card debt. He earns a good living and they are both super cool people. But she said they pay $2500 - $3000 a month in credit card payments and have over $100,000 in balances. I honestly couldn't believe it.
My first suggestion was to consider bankruptcy, but she was 100% against it. I also heard about debt consolidation clinics. But they advise you NOT to pay your debts for months at a time, then negotiate a lower settlement so that the credit card companies can avoid writing you off as a loss. But this ROYALLY screws up your credit as you can imagine!
This situation got me and my wife thinking, as we have our fair share of credit card debt as well. So besides refinancing your house for the 5th time in 5 years, borrowing money from Aunt Edna, or making minimum payments for 60 years, what is the best way to get out of credit card debt???
Stop using the card altogether. Stop buying unnecessary things. Sell everything you don't need. Take proceeds and pay off debt. Budget yourself frugally.
You can also contact the credit card companies directly to negotiate a lower fixed fee. If you are always on time with payments, lenders have a vested interest in keeping you solvent. The more you are able to pay and not declare bankruptcy, the better off they are. My experience with Amex was good on that front since I have had a card for 10+ years and told them I was thinking of transferring balances to a 0% APR promotion, so they lowered the rate for me.
How to make it easier to consolidate my debt?
I am owning an amount on a barclay credit card and also have a barclay loan. I am thinking of getting another loan with a better interest rate and then pay off the card and the loan so I can consolidate the two debts into a monthly payment that is lower than what I am paying now.
Is this something that people have done with any success? Whats the best way to go about it? I do not want to get caught in any debt consolidation scams that I have heard about.
Any advise/suggestions/web links would be grateful.
Thanks
I have lots of debts all over the place and have asked for similar advice many times before and unfortunatley each time I am told that consolidation is bad!
Try speaking with National Debtline, they will discuss your personal situation and give you good advice that you can understand.
Is Credit Score Affected If In A Debt Consolidation Program?
There are many factors that affect your credit score, and you have complete control over almost all of them. About the only thing you have no control over on your credit score is when the credit reporting agency makes a mistake and misrepresents your information. But even then you can request that they fix that [...]
