So you thought easy-money mortgages with little or no down payment for people with bad credit was a thing of the past? Think again. You can get just such a loan today - and it's guaranteed by the federal government.

The credit crunch is closing in on credit cards. Banks burned on mortgages are bracing themselves for billions in bad debt on credit cards - so they're trying to cut their losses by cutting customers. Big-name credit card issuers, including Bank of America, Chase and American Express, are shrinking some credit limits. And some, including Chase, are closing some accounts.

For IBA-member banks, and for banks across the globe, these are the worst of times. National media are beating us up through misuse of the word, banking. The federal government supposedly bails us out, then turns on those banks that accepted their help. Banks are being chastised in two directions: first for allegedly causing this problem by being too lenient in our underwriting of loans, particularly mortgages; and now for being too tight with credit. These bad times eventually will pass. Fortunately nearly all of the banks in Indiana are well capitalized, and more than 90 percent made a profit in 2008. Even though 2009 will be a difficult year, Indiana banks will survive to see better years in 2010, 2011, 2012 and beyond.

* Refinance scams - Refinancing scams target seniors and other homeowners who have built up equity in their homes over the years. Mortgage lenders and brokers, often working with home improvement contractors, offer to refinance homeowners' mortgages, with promises of fast cash despite 'bad credit', or 'cash out' for the homeowners. The lender steals a homeowner's equity by loading excessive interest rates and fees into the loan, typically with unfair and deceptive terms, leaving the homeowner in a worse situation than before he or she refinanced. These loans are not made according to a borrower's ability to repay, but are based on the collateral, the owner's equity in the home. The homeowner is unable to make the monthly payments, often times the home improvement contractor never comple...

With consumer savings rising and bank rivals suffering from shaky commercial real estate loans and bad publicity, credit unions supposedly have a golden opportunity to grow and capture market share. The challenge is finding the gold in that opportunity. To grow or not to grow can be the $64,000 question for credit unions today, observes CUES member Bill Vogeney, SVP/chief lending officer at $2.8 billion Ent in Colorado Springs, CO. Normally CUs try to grow, but these are not normal times, even for relatively healthy, fast-growing CUs like Ent. Mortgages are booming, thanks to low rates and government incentives. But it's risky to hold too many 5% fixed-rate, 30-year mortgages in a CU's portfolio, as many CU executives remember from the S&L collapse in the 1980s. The best growth oppo...

Five years ago when studying theology at Oxford, I was invited to deliver a lecture at London's Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) with the prescient title, "Can the practices of the free market economy be reconciled with the teachings of the Gospels?" Although the answer was in the qualified affirmative, my IEA authence gave the lecture what might politely be described as a mixed reception. It Starts with positives such as the alleviation of poverty, family involvement in business, good stewardship, the encouragement of talent, a fair day's pay for a fair day's work, honoring agreements, cherishing the land and the natural environment, settling disputes out of court, respecting the spirit as well as the letter of the law, and paying taxes.
