(ARM) Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Holders!
New credit reporting
criteria!
A new credit-scoring system that rates
borrowers based on the type of mortgage they have could
cause people with adjustable mortgages to pay higher
interest rates on everything from credit cards to car
loans.
Some financial experts, however, say this system bears a
close resemblance to so-called universal default, which
allows a credit card company to raise a customer's
interest rate if he makes a late payment with another
creditor.
"This is pretty much going to be all that credit card
companies, student loan companies, auto lenders and
other banks need to charge customers higher rates solely
based on the kind of mortgages they have," said Lynnette
Khalfani, a former reporter for t e Wall Street Journal
and CNBC, and author of "Zero Debt." "Folks who were
teased and seduced to sign up for ARMs just two years
ago are paying for that decision in ways they never
imagined," Mrs. Khalfani said. "You could never fathom
it would cause higher rates on credit cards and higher
payments too. That smacks of unfairness to the
consumer." Not everyone with ARMs is struggling to make
ends meet.
