Susie Mae Introduces New Benefits to Reduce Loan Costs for Stafford Borrowers
Rocky Hill, CT (ContentDesk) March 25, 2006 -- Susie Mae, the lending division of the Connecticut Student Loan Foundation (CSLF), is pleased to introduce new First Rate Stafford Loan benefits which will eliminate fees and reduce costs for Stafford loan borrowers throughout the nation.
Regardless of the guarantor used, Susie Mae will pay the origination fee (for loans guaranteed on or after May 1, 2006) and the Federal default fee (for loans made on or after July 1, 2006) on behalf of Stafford loan borrowers.
In addition to the elimination of these fees, Susie Mae will also provide: * A 4% reduction of the original principal balance of the loan after thirty-three (33) timely payments made online or via automatic account debit; and * An immediate 0.25% interest rate reduction for borrowers making automatic online payments or agreeing to automatic account debit.
Susie Maes new First Rate Stafford Loan benefits not only provide a truly fee-free loan option, but also reward borrowers for good repayment habits, said Mark W. Valenti, President of CSLF.
Susie Mae is proud to be focusing on students.
It is my opinion that using the default fee as an inducement to get schools and lenders to change guarantors is unacceptable and not in the best interest of students.
Susie Mae will waive the new default fee without discriminating against guarantors, said Mr. Valenti.As higher education costs climb, Susie Mae will continue to evaluate and develop new money saving incentives in order to do its part in reducing overall expenses for students and families financing a higher education.

Fixed Rate Home Equity Loans
A fixed rate home equity loan, sometimes called 'second mortgage', is a borrowing against the equity of your home. Equity means the current market value of your home minus the outstanding liability. Certain percentage of that net worth is advanced as loan. This is known as Loan To Value (LTV) ratio. Disbursement of the amount sanctioned is made in one lump sum.
Normally you can choose up to thirty years for amortization. The amount of monthly repayment inclusive of interest is fixed.
Lenders usually stipulate a minimum and maximum for the amount that can be sanctioned. The longer the amortization term, the interest rate will be higher though fixed. You must decide on the period for which the loan is to be taken based on your repayment capacity.
The interest paid qualifies for tax deduction in most cases. The money obtained through the loan can be used for any purpose that you choose. It is prudent to utilize the funds to pay off high interest bearing...
