Role of PPI during financial crisis

There are many unexpected instances that may occur in an individual’s life where the policy holder may fall sick. Due to sickness you will be unable to do your job and that in turn results in reduced pay. This makes it difficult to pay the monthly bills for the loan you owe; this is where PPI claims will take the responsibility for the loan repayment.

Similarly, if you met with an accident and you are bedridden for a long period of time. It will be difficult to meet your monthly bills. There is no need to panic as that is met through claiming your payment protection insurance that is responsible to meet the necessity.

Many people fear losing their job or facing redundancy, which will affect their financial standing. There will be overwhelming bills that have to be paid on time in order to avoid penalties and a declination of credit rating. However by claiming PPI you will not need to worry about these factors.

There are many reputed insurers who are capable of providing this policy. You just need to do a little research to obtain the best provider. Even the companies who lend credit are also most likely to sell this policy at the time of borrowing. Depending on the requirement or necessity you can choose to buy the policy. However, it is advisable to buy one as you never know what tomorrow will bring; securing oneself is always a wise decision to be made.

However, there are few things that have to be considered when buying the policy. They are,

®     The cost of the policy, whether it is high or low.

®     Do you possess any other means to cover the repayments?

®     Is there any limitation on amount that you benefit from the claim?

®     The time period of the claim is it extended to the life time of debt?

®     If the time complexity after the claiming process is less or more?

®     The types of instances covered in the policy.

By knowing the answers for the above mentioned questions you can choose the policy that best suits your requirement.

¨ Tap into your savings:

The first thing that you can do to repay all your debt is to make use of your savings. It makes no sense having money preserved in your account whilst you go through tough times to repay your existing debts. The longer your debt is there, the more you will owe. So it is advisable to utilise your savings to clear your debts or atleast a part of it as this will reduce the overall amount you pay back.

¨ Increase the regular payments

Try and a slightly higher payment than the minimum amount each month as it will help you in reducing your loan amount quickly and save you from paying higher interest rates. You can reduce your monthly expenses and use that amount to repay the debts.

¨ Utilise your liquid assets:

In case you possess liquid assets such as property, vehicles, gold, and shares etc. you can sell them and make some cash out of it. You can then utilise this cash to repay your debt amount and get rid of all your debts at the earliest possible point.

¨ Make use of your insurance policy:

If your insurance policy has the facility of cash value then you can secure a loan against it and use it to repay your existing debts. Here you are benefited as you need not repay the loan amount and it supports you financially.

¨ Go for debt consolidation:

If you are overburdened with your present debts and are not able to manage it then the best option available for you is to go for a debt consolidation loan. Here you can get a new loan to repay your existing debts at a reduced overall interest rate and you just need to make a single monthly payment rather than paying to different lenders. Make sure that once you start the consolidation process you do not miss any of the monthly payments. In case you face any difficulty in making the monthly payment you can acquire payday loans and get the required cash until your next payday.

•        First, check your credit report. To solve the problem first you need to know what exactly the problem is. So, calculate the total debt you have and to whom you have to owe

•        Find a good debt consolidation agency which offers low fees. Also consider the agency’s experience, how long they have been in the industry and the reputation

•        You can consolidate your credit card debt by a debt consolidation or debt settlement programme. Here, all your monthly debts can be consolidated to one reduced payment per month

•        You can also consolidate your debts through unsecured personal loans like payday loans. These loans do not require any collateral and is fairly a good route to pursue when you want to consolidate your credit card debt

•        Never ever consolidate your debts using a home equity loan. Here you need to provide your home as collateral to get approved for the loan. The risks involved are high in these type of loans and are not advised

•        Track your expenses. When you are in a hardship programme it is better to stop buying unnecessary things. You must have to stop spending too much and using credit cards otherwise, the consolidation programme will not leave anything at the end

•        Beware of consolidation scams. Many fraudulent companies claim that they will help you to get rid of your debts. But, in reality they steal your identity to take your money. So, make sure that the company you choose is trustworthy

•        Before considering a company, it is advisable to do some research online. Read the reviews of the company, this is the better way to know what people are saying about the company

Now-a-days Google Money Kit ads can be seen on most of the websites including some big websites which makes us think that this package might be legit.

Example of Google Money Kit ads shown on websites:

Most of us want to know whether it is Scam or Legit?

Result:  Google Money Kit is purely a Scam and Google is not part of this scam.

Note: The checks shown in those advertisements are actually from Google Adsense and not from this Google money kit.

When you go to their website during sign up for that kit they ask a low shipping cost of $1.95 but its actually the cost of trail pack and when it expires after 7 days of the trail period it costs you around $69.99 and $24.95 is charged as security per month.

So please beware of this scam and don’t fall in their traps.

Online games like World of Warcraft, Ragnarok Online, Call of Duty, Counter Strike, A3, Supreme Destiny etc. need servers to host them. You can earn money by hosting such games but it can be very difficult to be successful in it.

How you can earn money from Private Game Server?

Donations :

Donations are they best way to earn huge amount of money. In reality donation mean only to support owner to pay the bills of the server but now it has become a way of earning money as game owners provide premium services or gifts or in-game special items like weapons,etc. to the donator as a return gift because of which many gamers have started to donate to get those gifts.

Pay to Play : Pay to play means players pay a certain amount for playing on your host in which can keep time limit after which he has to repay to continue playing. For example: In cyber cafe you pay to use computer for 30mins or 1hr.

Sponsors :

If your game server becomes very popular then you can get sponsors who are willing to pay to show advertisement on your site ( of course each private game server has its own site).

Why People will pay for playing games?

People who play games have busy lives and got very less time to play such games so they donate or pay to play games in which they get special gifts or abilities than normal non-donator player which helps them to level up or reach to top or become better than others in a short time. And some times gamers need such game servers where they do not experience lag so they pay for playing on such lag free servers.

Things to remember before hosting any game :

• Make sure you have good knowledge of the game which you are going to host i.e you have played it several times before.
• Recruit friends or staff members who got programming and game developing and game hosting knowledge.
• Start with small servers as you are going to do it first time.
• You can only earn money by private game server if you are going to make them different from others because there are 1000s of such game servers running around the globe.
• You need players for your server so make sure you do a good publicity about your server by using all social media and by buying advertisements.
• As number of players increases then upgrade your server to support more number of players. And upgrade the servers whenever needed.
• If your server got donation option then don’t force players to donate.
