| 6 Million Brits Consolidating Their Loans
The preferred method of debt consolidation in the UK is where unsecured personal loans are combined into one loan with a lower monthly payment. While this is a positive move in the short term, it can be fiscally devastating over the long-term if done in the wrong way. Unsecured personal loans are the preferred method of consolidating loans. The interest rate is normally lower than interest being charged on credit cards and store cards. Research from uSwitch.com revealed that a number of Brits who consolidate their loans continue to use their credit cards and store cards to create further debt. The number of UK consumers who apply for personal loans that are higher than the amount they need to consolidate their loans are using the extra money, not for wealth generating, but to maintain a higher lifestyle.

Foreign banks “man-hunting”
VietNamNet Bridge - Foreign banks are strongly attacking the retail-service fields, besides purchasing shares of domestic banks. Ashok Sud, General Director of Standard Chartered Bank (SC) in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, in a recent meeting introduced the bank's retail manager, Namita Lai. This is the first time SC has had a retail manager in Indochina. Ms Namita Lai appears because SC needs her assistance in introducing international-level individual products in Vietnam. Mr Ashok Sud said that this year SC Vietnam would develop the consumption banking service field. Last year the bank earned US$3.178 billion of pre-tax profit, 19% more than 2005 and turnover of over $8.620 billion, up 26%. In the history of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) in Vietnam, foreigners have been the major clients at HSBC offices.
