More and more microfinance institutions are approving loans to prospective customers after checking their credit history from credit bureaus. As a result, a number of these loan applications are getting rejected on the basis of defaults in past loans, high outstanding amounts or due to multiple loans.

A credit bureau is a licensed institution which collects information on an individuals credit history from various sources and provides this information to other institutions.

On this matter, Mr Alok Prasad, Chief Executive Officer of MFIN said, As per the self-imposed mandate of Microfinance Institutions Network, all our member NBFC-MFIs are using credit bureau data from June 1, 2012.

A growing number of young adults are going without a credit history as more parents are choosing to put mortgages, loans and phone payments in their name. However, this policy could have an adverse affect in the future.

An increasing amount of young people are depriving themselves of a credit history as one quarter of parents are putting credit agreements in their own name.

Recent research has found that approximately 12% of adults, which equates to just below six million people, do not have a credit agreement. This includes four in ten aged under 30 years old.

While most parents feel they are helping their children out, experts are claiming that the practice could mean...

California politicians are patting themselves on the back for enacting the nations first comprehensive overhaul of home mortgage laws that, they say, will protect struggling homeowners from rapacious bankers.

The hoopla surrounding the mortgage package reflects the fact that financiers are social pariahs these days, especially in places, such as California, that were hit hard by the housing meltdown.

Getting your first credit card is a critical first step into adulthood. With a line of credit comes a new level of maturity, and the decision about what card to start out with should not be made lightly.

But before you venture out for your own piece of plastic, consider taking a baby step: Ask your parents to make you an authorized user on their credit card. This will help you build a little credit history, so you wont have to procure a card completely fresh. It will also enable your parents to teach you the basics of how to manage credit. Otherwise, you must be 18 years old to get a credit card on your own.

I encourage parents to teach their kids how to manage credit...

Hoping to provide an incentive to bring new-car dealers back to the city, the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday voted to exempt all new-car sales from the citys gross receipts tax.

The annual loss to the city is expected to be about $3.6 million, but officials said they believe it will be more than made up by increasing the number of new-car dealers in the city who will generate sales tax revenue.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa praised the council action, saying the 12-0 vote will go a long way to help make the city more business friendly.

For too long, Los Angeles business tax has driven auto dealers outside the city limits, Villaraigosa said. We are finally reforming...
