 When choosing a home loan it is best to know what the mortgage fixed rate is. When shopping for car loans the interest rate is not as important since the auto loan amount is smaller, but when you have a mortgage rate fixed you want it to be as low as possible.

Class Action Suit Against MoneyGram International, Inc.

Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP Files Class Action Suit Against MoneyGram International, Inc.

SAN DIEGO-- March 28, 2008 --Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP ("Coughlin Stoia") (http://www.csgrr.com/cases/moneygram/) today announced that a class action has been commenced on behalf of an institutional investor in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on behalf of purchasers of MoneyGram International, Inc. ("MoneyGram") (NYSE:MGI) common stock during the period between January 24, 2007 and January 14, 2008 (the "Class Period").

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Darren Robbins of Coughlin Stoia at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@csgrr.com. If you are a member of this class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.csgrr.com/cases/moneygram/. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

The complaint charges MoneyGram and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. MoneyGram, through its subsidiaries, provides payment services in the United States, as well as through a network of retail agents in North America, Latin America, western Europe, eastern Europe, Africa, India, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business and financial results related to its investments. As a result of defendants' false statements, MoneyGram stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, trading in the $28-$30 per share range during most of the Class Period.

On January 14, 2008, the Company announced that it had completed a valuation of its investment portfolio and had experienced additional net unrealized losses of $571 million as of September 30, 2007, bringing its cumulative net unrealized losses to $860 million. In addition, the Company announced it had needed to obtain amendments and waivers under its credit agreements. On this news, MoneyGram's stock declined to as low as $5.66 per share before closing at $6.15 per share on January 15, 2008, on volume of 19 million shares, a one-day decline of 50%.

Later, on March 25, 2008, the Company publicly disclosed that the SEC had launched an investigation into its financial statements, reporting and disclosures related to its investment portfolio.

According to the complaint, the true facts, which were known by the defendants but concealed from the investing public during the Class Period, were as follows: (a) the Company lacked requisite internal controls to ensure that the reserves for the Company's investments in asset-backed securities were adequate, and, as a result, the Company's projections and reported results issued during the Class Period were based upon defective assumptions and/or manipulated facts; and (b) the Company concealed the extent of its potential losses arising from its exposure to asset-backed securities containing uncollectible debt.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of MoneyGram common stock during the Class Period (the "Class"). The plaintiff is represented by Coughlin Stoia, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.

Coughlin Stoia, a 190-lawyer firm with offices in San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Boca Raton, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Atlanta, is active in major litigations pending in federal and state courts throughout the United States and has taken a leading role in many important actions on behalf of defrauded investors, consumers, and companies, as well as victims of human rights violations. The Coughlin Stoia Web site (http://www.csgrr.com) has more information about the firm.

Purchasing Card Programs Value Extended With Payment Plus

Payment Plus Introduced at U.S. Bank Conference

Financial Supply Chain Conference

MINNEAPOLIS-- March 27, 2008 --U.S. Bank Corporate Payment Systems has introduced U.S. Bank Access® Online Payment Plus. The new product was introduced to treasury managers, corporate controllers and purchasing card program managers at the Financial Supply Chain Conference in Anaheim, Calif. March 4-6. Attendees responded favorably to the new product launch, which included presentations by Kris Koch of Genuine Parts Company, one of the first U.S. Bank clients to implement the product.

Koch presented the results of his beta test of the product, which included only the SP Richards division of Genuine Parts. During his presentation, Koch noted that "We were looking for a way to increase control with vendors where we make infrequent, high dollar purchases, while maintaining the data and process integrity of our AP system. Payment Plus gives us all that capability as well as easy reconciliation." Koch estimates that total transactions through Payment Plus will increase to at least $50 million in 2008. The company plans to expand the program to remaining Genuine Parts subsidiaries.

Payment Plus extends the value of purchasing card programs by allowing organizations to further automate their accounts payable business processes through diminishing paper, increasing controls, reducing risk and facilitating working capital optimization. Payment Plus accommodates payment for purchases with high control requirements such as purchase orders, receipts and invoices. Payment Plus leverages existing client systems (such as order, receipt, inventory, fixed assets, accounts payable, etc.) to generate approved payments that may then be placed on purchasing card accounts.

"This is a natural extension of the commercial payment products we currently bring to our clients," said Jeff Pape, senior vice president of product management for U.S. Bank Corporate Payment Systems. "Our integration of this product within our existing electronic access tool allows for straight through processing and automated supplier notification, a distinct advantage over our competitors, and one that our clients have been very quick to recognize and embrace."

U.S. Bank has processed hundreds of payment instruction files through Payment Plus, including the largest single transaction of $1.55 million.

U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), with $238 billion in assets, is the parent company of U.S. Bank, the 6th largest commercial bank in the United States. The company operates 2,518 banking offices and 4,867 ATMs, and provides a comprehensive line of banking, brokerage, insurance, investment, mortgage, trust and payment services products to consumers, businesses and institutions.

Apply For Your Own Credit Card Online

Build Your Own Credit Card Offer Then Apply for it Online

The redesigned search engine at www.FastCreditCardOffer.com now allows consumers to build their ideal credit card and compare only the card offers that match every one of their personal requirements. This new method of shopping for credit cards online has proven to be faster and less frustrating than the more traditional way of browsing credit cards by category.

San Antonio, Texas  -  September 12  - FastCreditCardOffer.com recently redesigned their search engine to give credit card seekers more control over the cards they are shown. Visitors now have the ability to build their ideal credit card and compare only the card offers that are a perfect match. This new search method saves both time and frustration by automatically filtering out unwanted offers.

Previously, credit card offers could only be browsed by category and while that method of credit card shopping is still popular it can be time consuming to sort through the details of each offer. "We wanted to give our visitors a faster way to get what they want," said Brandi Young, the founder of FastCreditCardOffer.com.

Faster indeed. Katherine Dietz, a diehard internet user that admits to shopping for just about everything online, took a test-run of FastCreditCardOffer.com's search page and was presented with 4 card offers that did in fact have every feature she had entered. At that point it was just a matter of reading the highlights of each credit card offer before selecting her favorite and clicking over to an online application. "I just entered a few particulars that are important to me and I got a list of credit card offers that met all of what I entered."

Katherine's co-worker, Paul, also tried the new search engine stating, "It's like building my own credit card with the exact terms I want and finding out instantly if such a card exists. I switch credit cards every 6 months to a year and this was the first time I felt certain I was getting the best credit card available."

When asked why the new search form is so successful, Brandi explained, "It's hard to beat a credit card offer you build yourself. I think as long as we keep looking for new ways to help our visitors find exactly what they want they will keep recommending FastCreditCardOffer.com as a valuable resource."

FastCreditCardOffer.com has also revamped the way search results are ranked. Credit card offers with more of the most commonly desired features rank higher and will show up at the top of the list. The goal of the new ranking system is to give visitors more than they expect by presenting the best credit card offers first.

FastCreditCardOffer.com is a website originally established to provide an alternative to the paper credit card offers that come in the mail by giving consumers a way to find even better credit card offers online.

Mortgage Lenders and Borrowers Get Simple Closing

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Helps Mortgage Lenders and Borrowers Simplify the Closing Process

U.S. Patent-Pending Process behind Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Simplified Mortgage Saves Lenders Money and Improves Overall Borrower Experience

MINNEAPOLIS--March 17, 2008--Wolters Kluwer Financial Services announced today the launch of a revolutionary new mortgage document solution, the Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Simplified MortgageT. The solution will help lenders and borrowers make the closing process for first mortgage and home equity loans simpler, faster and more affordable while complying with all federal and state regulatory requirements.

Through a U.S. patent-pending business process, the Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Simplified Mortgage permits the current recordable mortgage document to be split into two content pieces. The first piece is a two to three page recordable instrument that contains all information required to create a valid lien and fully comply with the recording requirements of each state. The second piece is a non-recordable supplement that outlines a loan's standard covenants between the lender and borrower.

Lenders have traditionally recorded the entire mortgage document, which typically stretches beyond a dozen pages. By only submitting the recordable instrument using the Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Simplified Mortgage, lenders and borrowers may realize immediate and dramatic cost savings in those states where recordation fees are based on the number of pages recorded.

The non-recordable supplement introduces work flow flexibility as lenders may choose to present the supplement to borrowers at application or prior to closing to inform them of their responsibilities related to the loan and the secured property. The borrower experience is greatly improved as this helps to make the actual closing process faster and less complicated.

The solution further improves the borrower's closing experience by making the recordable instrument and supplement easier to read and understand. The compliance experts at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services built the mortgage content in plain language within both the recordable instrument and the non-recordable supplement while ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements in all 51 U.S. jurisdictions.

"In today's competitive market, lenders are continually seeking innovative ways to bring greater efficiency to the closing process and reduce costs, making home ownership more affordable" said Jason Marx, vice president and general manager, Mortgage, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. " Lenders understand the importance of remaining focused on the borrower and their needs. The Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Simplified Mortgage helps lenders achieve both goals by streamlining the closing process, reducing costs and improving the closing experience."

Best Secured Loan Finance Deals

Longdog Finance Offering Best Secured Loans Deals

Despite severe economic conditions prevailing in the United Kingdom making all lenders stiffen their lendings, Longdog Finance, a leading name in the loan packagers, is making all efforts in setting forth an affordable secured loan deal with their hand-pick incentive on loan completion. Following an adept and professional marketing strategies, this company is known for their array of loan solutions clubbed with their fabulous incentives.

Watford, UK  -  September 27 -- A serious crisis is brewing among the United Kingdom over the issue of increase in the interest rate. In the past eleven months, UK has witnessed five-time increase in the base rate, thereby, making loans a costly affair. With experts having their say on this trend, the debate has become a mixture of varied opinions. Some experts opine that there may be another hike in the base rate by the end of this year to control inflation while some assert that the Bank of England may not increase the base rate further as the Consumer Price Index has fallen down to 1.8% in the month of August touching the lowest level in more than a year.

On account of this economic upheaval, many lenders have tightened up their loan terms and conditions. During this peak time where most of the lenders have started providing only 80% of the equity value, Longdog Finance, a leading name in the loan providers, is making full efforts in working out an affordable and cheap loan deal at a higher loan-to-value percentage from their lenders.

"Longdog Finance, an online brand of Shakespeare Finance Ltd., became a secured loan packager in March, 2007 and since then has been offering affordable loan plans with effusive incentives for customers belonging to different profiles." They aim to expand their customer-based network from prime, near prime, sub-prime to heavy adverse by providing them with their best loan deals.

With a wide network of their lenders, they are focusing on entertaining every potential customer, irrespective of their financial circumstances. They have set forth a prodigal proposition boasting about no payment for six months, depending upon case to case. Keeping in mind the present structure of the economy and its residents, Longdog Finance decided to formulate such an offer. Their secured loans start with an interest rate of 6.7% which is highly competitive in the loan market. The most attractive streak of their proposal is that they make good comparison of different UK loan plans to offer the cheapest loan package suited to their customer's circumstances.

Longdog Finance has expanded its web of secured loans package by providing solutions for people with adverse credits as well. Using the available equity on their homes, the best solution for them is the consolidation of loans which the company is offering with flexible mode of repayments. Not even secured loans, they have great deals on unsecured loans as well. For entrenching a mark in the loan market, they have introduced an incentive of £100 gift voucher along with secured loans which can be used on purchasing electrical goods, jewellery, phones, gift items, furniture and many more.

Speaking on this note, the Manager of Sales and Marketing, Sarah Dubey asserted," Our prime focus is on building a good rapport with the customers. We make full efforts in devising a right plan for them by understanding their present situations and requirements."

Longdog Finance has been able to bridge the gap between their lenders and the potential customers. Their highly skilled team works with a mission of providing the best loans to their customers with fast processing and good incentives.

Payroll Problems for Small Businesses

ezPaycheck 2008 Takes Sting Out of Payroll Problems for Small Businesses

Easy-to-use and affordable, ezPaycheck is a simple, but effective, payroll accounting software for small businesses and accountants.

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) March 12, 2008 -- Many people who start their own successful companies are intelligent, have field experience and an entrepreneur spirit to get things done. However, when it comes to accounting, and in particular payroll software, they often stumble. That's why Halfpricesoft.com co-founder Dr Ge went to work creating ezPaycheck payroll software, and its latest version, ezPaycheck 2008 payroll software.

"For more than ten years I was a programmer and consultant," says Dr Ge. "During that time I discovered many small business owners often had one thing in common, regardless of their industry: They were afraid to touch new accounting applications and payroll software programs because they were usually too big or too complex for their needs."

With that in mind, Dr Ge went to work on what he calls a simple but effective program that's easy-to-use and geared to small business payroll or payroll tax issues. He also adds that many payroll accounting software programs are bloated with features that the small business users don't need and never use.

Not only does this make the payroll accounting software bulky to operate, explains Dr Ge, but it also drives up the price of the payroll accounting software. For example, some payroll programs can retail for around $700 compared to his latest version ezPaycheck 2008 payroll software for just under $100. For many small business users, they simply don't need many of the functions associated with such larger payroll accounting programs.

"Complex payroll accounting software does have its place to be sure," Dr Ge admits. "But with most payroll software today it's almost as if the user needs an I.T. or accounting degree to operate it. Small business owners lack the funds to hire an AP department and they lack the time to learn the ins and outs of advanced payroll accounting software. So we went to work making a payroll software unlike any other - one where small businesses can figure out the functions as soon as they start the payroll application," he explains.

Dr Ge is so certain that small businesses will find the benefits of ezPaycheck 2008 payroll software that Halfpricesoft.com offers a free trial. For 30 days users can try all the features free of charge before they decide buy this payroll software. In addition, they also offer two other creations for the small business owner - ezCheckPrinting and ezW2, which Dr Ge says are also easy to use for owners who aren't accounting or I.T. experts. Visitors can also find checks, payroll supplies and free items like invoice templates or packing slip templates at the site.

"For the majority of small businesses in the world there really hasn't been a simple, dependable payroll program until ezPaycheck. So it's a great feeling knowing that we save small businesses money on their payroll software needs. What's even better, though, is knowing we make their life less frustrating and save them much needed time."

Economic Depression Likely

Survey Shows Economic Depression Likely

The majority of Americans believe the U.S. economy is headed for an economic depression, according to a new survey by Housing Predictor.

Destin, FL  -  February 25, 2008 -- A majority of Americans surveyed believe the U.S. economy will fall into an economic depression, according to a new opinion poll conducted by Housing Predictor.

The online survey found that a slight majority surveyed expect the nation's economy to develop into a depression. Housing Predictor regularly surveys visitors to its web site on real estate related issues, including the economy, and provides more than 250 local housing market forecasts in all 50 U.S. states.

The survey comes at a time when the majority of the nation's housing markets are in the midst of the worst slowdown since the Great Depression. Sales of homes and other properties are at the slowest volume in years in what has developed into a national real estate recession.

Foreclosures have reached all-time record levels as a result of the credit crunch and increasing signs that the nation has fallen into a full-fledged recession, including higher unemployment and worsening consumer confidence.

More than two million homes throughout the nation have already been foreclosed as a result of the nation's financial crisis, and higher mortgage payments home owners are unable to afford. The foreclosure rate has doubled and is forecast to worsen over the next few years.

The real estate crisis has sent shock waves through Wall Street and other financial markets, sending the nation's economy on a downward spiral. The White House and Congress are working on plans to help some home owners, but are clearly unable to act fast enough to help many consumers.

Housing Predictor forecasts that foreclosures will top 5.6 million units through 2011.

The crisis has broad implications for the national economy. Consumers are already feeling the pinch at the grocery store with higher prices for food and other products and at the gas station with higher fuel prices. Economists are growing with increasing concern over the economy, which could see the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
