31/10/07     SELF-INTERESTED LENDERS KEEPING MUM ON REAL COST OF SMALLER LOANS – CONSUMERS UNAWARE THEY COULD BORROW MORE FOR LESS, SAYS MONEYNET.CO.UK

  • Higher rates for smaller loans means borrowers don’t realise they could afford to borrow more and pay less
  • The bigger the loan, the lower the rate – and in some cases the lower the monthly cost and total repayable
  • No publicity for advantages of borrowing more money
LENDERS are maxing up takings on loans by keeping quiet on the facts about tiered rates – and are raking in the same profits whilst lending borrowers less, according to new research by personal finance data comparison site Moneynet.co.uk.

11/10/07     PLASTIC FIRMS TO CLEAN UP ON BACK OF POST STRIKE AS MILLIONS SUFFER LATE PAYMENTS – MONEYNET.CO.UK URGES CONSUMERS TO TAKE ACTION

CONSUMERS could be hit with swingeing penalties from late credit card payments as a result of the post strike unless they take the initiative themselves, warns personal finance comparison site Moneynet.co.uk.

“Those borrowers who put cheques in the post to their lenders over the last ten days or so stand to incur a late charge as their remittances languish in the Post Office’s overflowing depots,” says Moneynet.co.uk chief executive Richard Brown.

04/10/07     SAFE IN THEIR HANDS? SAVERS SHOULD BUILD OWN FIREWALL TO PROTECT FUNDS, ADVISES MONEYNET.CO.UK
  • Any savings above £35,000 unprotected against institution collapse
  • Savers advised not to put all funds in one place
  • Checking FSA regulation of account brand can avert losses
UNDER the mattress never was the best place to keep hard-earned savings, but following the Northern Rock crisis, savers should think twice about how safe their money really is in a bank, says online financial data comparison site Moneynet.co.uk.
