(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.
