Predicted Increase in IVAs
With the entry of new legislation that goes into effect, the demand for individual voluntary arrangements(IVAs) is expected to increase according to the Money, Debt and Credit Group, a company that helps debtors reduce their debt. With sales of ?1.04 million in the 64 weeks preceding December 31st, it closed with a pre tax loss of ?2.83 million. Though no comparative figures were available, the company stated that it expects to see profits beginning in 2008.The company stated that it has seen a substantial increase in IVAs, which are a form of debt management that allow debtors to avoid bankruptcy. In 2006, 561 cases were approved, and at the present time, 1,257 cases are currently in progress. With United Kingdom consumer debt now at ?1.3 trillion, the company feels that the IVA market will continue to grow. Between 2005 and 2006, the number of IVAs that were registered increased from 20,292 to 44,331.One third of all unsecured debt in Western Europe is borne by people in the United Kingdom with the average UK

Interest Only Mortgages – FSA Introduces New Regulations
According to Abbey, over a quarter of homeowners choose an interest-only mortgage. It's obvious why – the payments are a lot more affordable, as this example shows: a 25 year ?125,000 interest only mortgage at 5% costs ?525 per month - but on a repayment mortgage it's an extra ?210 a month, totalling ?735 per month.First time buyers are finding it tough enough to get on the property ladder as it is, so it's quite understandable that they should choose to take the option with the lower payments. However, a large proportion are not making enough provision for the time when they have to pay the capital off at the end of the mortgage term. In fact, 37% are failing to save enough money.For this reason, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has decided to step in and change the regulations. They now ask lenders to request firm evidence from new borrowers that they are saving a sufficient amount to cover the capital. Borrowers used to be able to say that they'd sell the property to raise the capital, but that will no

Is Your Website Design And Structure Out To Lunch
I believe that a site has to have a purpose, and from there, that defines the structure. There are 5 major types of site (probably more, but I will focus on 5), these being an info site, a sales/sign up site, a blog, an on line store, and a membership site.An info site is designed to provide the best and easiest source of information for the visitors. The visitors are usually repeat, and have already developed a relationship with the site owner and are coming to the site for information. A good example of this is www.InternetBasedMoms.com.A sales/sign up site has a specific purpose to either get a sale, or a sign up for a newsletter/report/ezine. It should not have anything else to distract the visitor. All items on the site should push the visitor towards that end goal. This is usually the beginning of the relationship with a new visitor so this is often the first site the visitor sees.A blog is a relationship building site, building that integral trusting relationship between the visitor and the site ow

Ten Ways to Handle a Customer Complaint
Most professionals take pride in the work they do. Dealing with complaints is often challenging and upsetting. It is very natural to try to explain or justify what was done. The suggestions I have made in this list are not easy to do in the heat of a situation. So when you hear a complaint about you or your business/practice perhaps the best strategy is to count to ten and then do some of the following:1. Listen – Resist the temptation to argue with the client. Instead ask questions to get to the bottom of the situation. What is the client really upset about? Show the client that you really understand the situation from the client’s perspective.2. Don’t be defensive – This will get in the way of your listening to the client. Allow the client the time and space to be heard. If you get defensive you’ll build a wall between you and the client. Try to find ways to build a bridge so that you are aligned with the client.3. If you agree that it was a mistake, fix it immediately or do what you can to

Blogging seems to be all the rage now. Many of these are personal blogs, where people just give their opinions on various topics. Others, however, are business blogs. What's the advantage of a business blog?

The easiest way to an accessible website is to build a text only website. Correct?
