Do Not Spend Your Retirement Funds
To Bring Your Mortgage Current
I do not advise spending your retirement funds to bring your mortgage current.
I have seen to many people spend all of their retirment funds trying to save their home, left with a big tax bill from early withdrawl and losing their home anyway.
There can be an exception to this depending on your age and the reasonable expectation that you can replace those funds before retirement or they would be in a better financial position by keeping their home and could reasonably afford the monthly mortgage payments without continually going into retirement funds.

Hardship Loan Modification – Do You Qualify?
Q: What is student loan garnishment and should I worry about this if my student loans are going into default because I cannot afford them? A: One of the drawbacks to having your student loan default could certainly be student loan garnishment. Student loan garnishment (or wage garnishment) is a federal law, which allows the department or the student loan guarantor to garnish 15% of your disposable income (and no more than the equivalent of 30 times the current federal minimum wage). If you are concerned that your student loan may default, you should contact your lender immediately. Before any garnishment begins, you will (or should) be notified and presented with the option to pay the debt owed on the student loan, or to request a court hearing objecting to the wage garnishment due to financial hardship. The worst thing to do, would be to simply ignore any documentation your student loan guarantor provides you with.

Who’s Got Your Back?
If you’re anything like the rest of us, you’ve probably hit a rough spot or two in the road. What do you do when you’ve got rough credit (or no credit established) and life knocks the wind out of you? Hopefully, you get back up and keep fighting, but how? When you can’t get to work because your car has broken down and you have no way to fix it, and you don’t have enough money to pay the mechanic, your options are limited. Enter payday loans.
Like a friend who has your back, a payday loan can be a life saver. Not only are they available to people with credit problems, but they’re available fast. Most of the time, with just proof of income and residence, you can sign a few forms and walk away with up to 60% of your average paycheck in cold, hard, green cash.
Felonies dropped in loan modification fraud case
A Howell businesswoman admitted Friday to charging customers money upfront for loan-modification services, but she denied failing to perform the services promised and denied pocketing any money.
The Michigan attorney general’s office had initially charged Michelle Rene Garbuschewski; her Howell business Elite Mortgage Relief; and her partner, Lisa Marie Joboulian of Northville; with felony charges of obtaining at least $1,000 but less than $20,000 under false pretenses.
However, those charges were dismissed Friday and the women were arraigned on misdemeanor charges of violating the Credit Services Protection Act for allegedly illegally charging homeowners facing foreclosure upfront fees for mortgage-modification assistance.
