(Best Syndication News) Best Syndication has been surveying mortgage interest rates since November 2007. Since then rates have gone up and down.
Unlike other surveys, we concentrate on local rates in Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, and Buffalo. We omitted the large national banks and brokers if we could.

(Best Syndication News) Although the new credit card rules going into effect later this month may benefit some consumers, it may also hurt others. Credit has been very easy to acquire over the past few decades, but lenders may tighten requirements after February 22nd, if they haven’t done so already. Here is what will change:

Consumers will be given more notice before their interest rate changes. Card holders will now be given at least 45 days advance notice. The Better business Bureau (BBB) said in a statement that “promotional rates must apply for at least six months and, unless disclosed up front, card holders cannot have their rate increased in the first year.”
