| Get an unsecured loan?
Unsecured personal loans are granted on a mixture of factors, the most important are your income and employment status and your credit history. The interest rates available vary widely depending on how much you borrow and the time period over which you pay it back. Most advertised rates are typical rates and so, if you only wish to borrow small amounts, you will normally be charged a higher rate than that advertised. Unsecured loans are only available for sums of 25,000 or less. Click here for more on interest rates. To get the very cheapest unsecured loan rates you will need to have a good credit history.

Greg Cameron, Urban Rainwater Systems Pty Ltd, writes: Re. Ken Matthews (Monday, comments). The National Water Commissioner, Mr Ken Matthews, was my source for claiming that the federal government proposes an “entitlement regime" for rainwater tanks (16 March, item 16). He wrote on 25 August 2006, “As we understand it, governments have not yet considered the capture of water from roof [sic] in rainwater tanks to be of sufficient magnitude to warrant the issuing of specific entitlements to use this class of water. However, if rainwater tanks were to be adopted on a large scale such that their existence impacts significantly on the integrated water cycle, consideration could be given to setting an entitlement regime for this class of water." The Commissioner alleges my reporting of his statement was knowingly and mischievously wrong.
SBA not allowed to forgive loans
The Answer Spot is a weekly feature that addresses your post-Hurricane Katrina questions. To submit a question, e-mail it to insurance@timespicayune.com. SBA Do you know whether the SBA forgives disaster loans secured by a mortgage after the sole and only borrower dies? As the estate has passed to a nonfamily member, is SBA likely to call the loan if there has been no sale of the property? Is it up for loan review or underwriting once again with a new owner? The Small Business Administration does not have the authority to forgive disaster loans. In this example, the SBA would act in accordance with terms in the mortgage agreement signed with the borrower. Generally, under the mortgage agreement, the loan is due and payable when the property is sold or transferred.
