Obama talks low loan rates in pitch to college students
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – President Obama kicked off a two-day, three-stop tour of college campuses Tuesday with soaring speeches on student loan interest rates that quickly veered into an all-out appeal for students' support.
His likely Republican opponent in November, Mitt Romney, didn't wait for the president's visit here to make his own appeal to young people and to charge that Obama had failed them.
The give-and-take was typical of a fledgling general election campaign in which neither side allows an issue or a charge to go without an instant response. And it highlighted what will certainly be a crucial battleground in the fall for the hearts and minds of young people.

Prosecution: Gervasi swimming in red ink before arson
Using personal bank accounts and bankruptcy records, prosecutors Wednesday attempted to portray former Scranton firefighter Thomas S. Gervasi as a man drowning in red ink who was routinely hit with late fees on mortgage payments and awash in credit card debt totaling more than $139,000.
On one American Express credit card, he owed $26,989; on a second American Express card, he owed $31,045, according to his court papers filed in 2004 seeking Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection.
Mr. Gervasi's case was later dismissed when he stopped making the $350 monthly payments he was required to pay, said attorney Jim Jones, a bankruptcy court trustee. As a result, Mr. Gervasi's case was thrown out of court and all outstanding debt he tried to discharge in the bankruptcy remained against him, Mr. Jones said.

How to Manage Holiday Credit Card Debt
The best way to avoid bad debt is to plan your expenses, set a definite budget, and stick within your limit. But what if you find yourself stuck in credit card debt after the holidays? What can you do to get yourself out of the situation? On this post, we present tips for cardholders on how to manage debt:
1. Check your accounts. Make sure that there are no incorrect charges in any of your accounts, especially if you have balances on multiple credit cards. In case you find errors, call up your credit card issuer immediately to dispute the charges. This way, you can be sure that you are not paying for debts you did not owe.
2. Prioritize your debts. If you are dealing with multiple credit card debt, see which of your accounts have the highest rate. If possible, pay off your full balance on this account to stop debt from further accumulating. Be sure to submit the minimum due payment on the credit cards that you can’t pay in full to avoid late fees. Afterwards, you can work on paying off your debts from one card to the next.

US economic data inspires cautious optimism
Economic indicators in the US are showing signs of recovery, despite the Federal Reserve’s unwillingness to take the steps needed to curtail the budget deficit, according to Julius Baer.
A household would never run its budget the way the US government does, said Mark Matthews, a managing director at the boutique private bank. If the US were a household with an annual family income of $21,700 (its gross domestic product), it would be spending $38,200 every year. Despite an outstanding credit card bill of $142,710, it is still adding new debt of $16,500 annually — and through painful efforts it recently achieved a budget cut of $385.
There has been some improvement in the jobless numbers, but unemployment has been above 9% for 28 months now. That is its longest slump since 1945.

Freddie Mac report could raise claims against BofA
(Reuters) - Freddie Mac's failure to properly review some defaulted loans could cost taxpayers billions of dollars, according to a report on Tuesday that may give the government extra firepower to wring far more money from Bank of America in legal settlements.
A senior examiner at the Inspector General's office of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator's independent watchdog, had raised concerns about Freddie Mac's loan review process months before the FHFA reached a $1.3 billion settlement with Bank of America (BAC.N) over poorly underwritten mortgages.

Control Spending with Prepaid Debit Cards
Are you having a tough time keeping your spending in control? Many people who own credit cards are guilty of overspending and it’s easy to see why. Paying with a credit card is quick and convenient. Even if you don’t have cash in your wallet, you can simply charge the purchase to your credit and worry about repayment later. Unfortunately, you could be subjected to high interest rate and late fees if you fail to pay back your balance on time.
With prepaid credit cards, the risk of incurring bad debt is greatly minimized. Why so? Because prepaid cardholders are not provided with a credit line. They can only spend the money they have in their debit account. If there is no available balance, making advanced purchases will not be possible.
