Prom Dresses
It is that time of the year when the girls are getting ready for their proms, and that means prom dresses! And what a choice there is available for them this year!
There are a whole range of Prom Dresses to choose from for the lucky young ladies heading off to this year’s proms. But, which should they choose from?
Well for a start, if the young lady in question is intending on taking part in a lot of dancing on the night, then a long flowing gown is obviously going to be a great hindrance! But, does a short, knee length prom dress have quite the same impact and flair? Maybe try out an ankle length dress and make sure that a few basic dance moves are possible whilst wearing it around the changing room! Better to find out now than on the big night!
Of course, a prom dress can also be chosen according to celebrity look! Maybe you would prefer to find a dress that is similar to one that a well known celebrity has been spotted wearing! Have a look through a few suitable magazines and take them with you when you go out to the shops to buy your prom dress. Show the assistants what appeal to you and with their intimate knowledge of their stock they should be able to show you some items that are along the lines of the dresses you are studying.
A prom night is a big night out in a girl’s life and one that requires that extra bit of effort expended to find the dress that is going to look and feel just perfect. Nothing less that perfect will be enough. Just a final word of warning. Whilst it might be tempting to keep the dress quite for a grand entrance, make sure that your friends do not have the same idea and turn up in the same outfit!
Tips For Changing Your Mortgage
Changing your mortgage promises a lot of benefits. But take care and read through these tips first to make sure that you can get the best.
First things first. Although changing mortgages looks like you can save a fortune by getting a lower interest rate, this is not always the case. Yes, the rate you are moving to may be significantly cheaper. But there are a lot of hidden costs involved and the net result of these costs could be that the change costs you a lot more than you would save.
These costs are applied by both your existing and your new lender. For example, your existing lender will probably charge you a variety of exit fees, deed release fees and other assorted charges. Likewise, your new lender may want to charge you arrangement fees, maybe even legal fees.
These fees can amount to thousands, either out of your pocket or added onto the mortgage. If you add them to the mortgage then you are increasing the borrowing and, therefore, the interest charged. If you pay them out of your pocket then this is money that could have been earning you interest, or it might be better used to just pay off some of your mortgage and reduce the payments that way.
So my first tip, and the most important one, is to do the maths of changing mortgages carefully and see if you will in the long run actually be saving money, or whether you would be better off with another solution, such as making a lump some payment.
Of course, some of these costs might be reduced if you move your mortgage within your current lender. They might be willing to not charge you some of the fees if you just swap to another mortgage product that they have on offer. This could be seen as a way of tempting you to stay.
After you have decided to move your mortgage, you have to decide what type of mortgage you want to move to. A fixed rate guarantees your monthly payments for an agreed period of time. If you take out a fixed rate mortgage at a time when rates could go down there is always the risk that they will drop and you will be paying over the odds.
To get around this some people opt for capped rate mortgages. Here there is a maximum interest rate that you will be charged, but if rates do drop you benefit from the drops. Of course, with both of these there is a payback and that is that the rates you will be offered won’t be the lowest available. For a lower rate, you might need to look at a tracker style mortgage or a discounted mortgage, which follows the base rate, with a slight discount.
With these you should get a good monthly interest rate, but with the risk that if rates rise, then so does your monthly payment. So what type of mortgage you choose is not a simple choice, but it is based on your financial position. Do you want a low rate, but are able to cope with possible increases in payments if rates shoot up? Or do you need to get the best possible guaranteed deal with a fixed rate?
Finally, depending on your credit score and how your house price has changed since you last mortgaged, your lender might be willing to offer you a lower rate or demanding a higher credit risk rate. But only a trained person with a full understanding of the mortgage market will know the best deals on offer and be able to talk you through the process.
So, for my final tip, do not go it alone. Ask an independent mortgage broker for some advice.
How a Late Mortgage Payment Affects Your Credit Score
Your credit score is the guiding feature of your future mortgage and loan applications. So if you make a late payment, how is that going to affect your credit score?
Put quite simply, your credit score is a system that is supposed to reflect to future potential lenders just how good, or bad, a credit risk you will be for them. If you are a good credit risk then they are more likely to get their money paid back on time, but a poor credit risk increases the chance of late payments, defaults and even repossessions.
This means that a poor credit score can mean that you might not be offered a mortgage or loan when you next apply, or that if you are offered the cash, then the reward might be a higher APR, which will cost you a fortune over the years.
So just how will missing a payment affect the score? Well, this is what the lenders are trying to work out from the score – whether you are liable to miss payments or make them all on time. This is what the credit score is trying to indicate to lenders and, therefore, missed payments will be reflected.
But, there are degrees of missed payments. If you just forget a single payment, but it is made a day or so late, then it could even be that the lender does not notice the delay and does not even record it on your publicly available credit rating.
However, at the other extreme if you are defaulting frequently or even worse you have some of the loan written off instead of paying the loan in full, then this will affect your credit score and in quite a strong way.
Even these so called ways of getting out of debt by legal loop holes, that might sound a great idea at the time, ultimately mean a whole pile of missed payments and the lender writing off the debt. They are not just going to walk away from this, they are going to record the missed payments on your credit score so that future lenders may not be willing to deal with you at all.
So it is all in balance. A late mortgage payment could affect your credit score, but it depends on how late your payment is and how often you make late payments. If you know that you are not going to be able to make a future payment it would be worth speaking to your lender so that they are aware of your situation and could even offer you a mortgage payment holiday. This is a way of missing a payment with their permission. And because it is with their agreement, it is not going to affect your score at all.
Your credit scoring is all about how you manage those debts. Odd slightly delayed payments should only have a minimal affect on your credit score, but the effect rises as your frequency and lateness of repayments increases. The aim being that if you miss a lot of payments, other lenders know not to lend to you.
