Some Have Expired, Others Still Good

Over the past few years, the federal government has offered tax credits for certain home improvements aimed at increasing a home's energy efficiency. Unfortunately, the most popular and generous tax credits, which allowed you to claim up to 30 percent of improvements such as a new roof or hot water heater, have expired. You can still get credit, though, for other significant energy-efficient improvements.

According to EnergyStar.gov, you can claim a tax credit for 30 percent of the cost of installing a geothermal heat pump, a small wind turbine or a solar energy system in your home. The credit has no upper limit and applies to both existing homes and new construction, but not to rental properties.

You also can get a credit of up to 30 percent of the cost of residential fuel cells, up to $500 per .5kW of power capacity, EnergyStar.gov says. All of these credits remain good through Dec. 31, 2016.

While the initial cost of these improvements may seem significant, they can dramatically decrease home energy bills in the long run.

For a moment, it looked like it might all fall apart. Google and Mozilla, who together probably did more than anyone to break Microsoft's hegemonic hold on the internet, had been partners for years, with Google occupying a premium place as the default search engine in Firefox.

After reportedly letting their longstanding revenue-sharing agreement lapse at the end of November , the two companies announced a new three-year agreement on Tuesday, less than a day before the release of the latest version of Mozilla's browser . Terms of the deal were confidential and undisclosed.

Failing to come to an agreement would cost Google money - quite possibly a lot of money, as Mozilla's Firefox still edges out Google's Chrome in most measurements of browser usage - but probably wouldn't have changed the overall trajectory of the company much. Mozilla, on the other hand, stood to lose its biggest source of funding ( as much as 84% ) and potentially frustrate already-fickle browser users for whom "search" means "Google."

Firefox's most likely backup plan - extending Most Favored Search Engine status to Bing instead of Google - would have been unthinkable just five years ago, with Mozilla positioning itself as the anti-Microsoft and Firefox as the anti-Internet Explorer.

With Bing waiting in the wings, just how close did Mozilla and Google come to the edge? Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, among others, didn't think a split was likely.

Millions of Americans have suffered financially as a result of the recent credit crunch, and many of them have been left with damaged credit reports. One way of starting to repair such damage is by obtaining a secured credit card . With these, you deposit a sum up front, usually a minimum of $200-$500, which normally becomes your credit limit. You then demonstrate financial responsibility by making regular on-time payments.

You may earn interest on your security deposit, though that's unlikely to be over 1 percent per year. But in all but one case, you'll pay much more interest than that on your outstanding balance.

Providing you use your new secured card responsibly, and you choose one that reports your activity to all three big credit bureaus ( Experian , Equifax and Transunion), you may well qualify for a mainstream credit card with some perksin a year or two.

Consumer Action recently published the results of its latest survey of secured credit cards, and its report was both authoritative and informative. It found one such product (the Applied Bank Platinum Visa) that charged 0 percent APR on outstanding balances. However, the attractively low APR is offset by its monthly fees, which came in at the equivalent of a hefty $119 per year.

Among the best deals Consumer Action found were HSBC's Orchard Bank Classic MasterCard and the Orchard Bank Visa Classic . These both have great credit card rates of 7.99 percent APR on their secured versions, and reasonable annual fees of $29-$59. HSBC also provides a 25-day, interest-free grace period on purchases you clear each month. Most, but not all, issuers provide grace periods on secured cards.

Companies that provide expensive, short-term loans to desperate borrowers face tougher regulation by the government.

Pressure over the activities of companies providing payday loans led the prime minister's office to say on Wednesday that a code of practice to protect vulnerable borrowers could be introduced. David Cameron's spokesman also said that a cap on the often extortionate interest rates had not been ruled out, but indicated that a voluntary code of practice was preferred.

Payday loans are small, unsecured loans to tide people over until their next pay packet. Campaigners argue that their high cost means poor borrowers can be sucked into a cycle of debt.

The prime minister's spokesman said: "We know there are concerns about these companies and the way they operate. We want to ensure that vulnerable people are properly protected and are working with the industry and consumer organisations to ensure that people have the protections they need.''

Asked if he would consider an interest rate cap, which some campaigners want, he replied: "That is not a new issue. It has been looked at in the past. Clearly it is an issue that we can look at. The approach at the moment is to consult with consumer organisations and the industry and look at whether there is a way we can protect vulnerable people."

Consumer complaints about debt-relief providers have doubled since 2009. But by the time you complain, it's usually too late. F ear not. Here are five red flags that could mean you're being fleeced by your debt-relief provider - before the money goes missing from your pocket.

At first glance, seeing the cavalry charging to your aid after sinking into a serious debt disaster might well be a relief to consumers. Debt-relief companies are one of the least-regulated industries in the U.S., and there is no shortage of charlatans, fraudsters and scam artists waiting to separate you from your money. While the U.S. Federal Trade Commission does track down some fraudulent debt-relief companies " especially bogus foreclosure relief firms " individual states handle the bulk of the law enforcement responsibilities linked to debt-relief scams.

In Massachusetts, for example, The Office of Consumer Affairs reported over 3,000 consumer contacts over potential debt-relief fraudsters, and the state reported six out of 13 foreclosure-relief firms demanded up-front payments despite a law against such payments in the Bay State.

State Not Happy
The state isn't happy about the issue. "By charging up-front fees with no guarantee of success, these companies can further harm a consumer's situation instead of improve it," said Barbara Anthony, Massachusetts' undersecretary of the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

It wasn't until the recent mortgage crisis that homeowner or lenders were very accepting of the short sale process. Traditionally thought of to be an equal to foreclosure, many homeowners never considered pursuing a short sale as an alternative. Having viewed the ultimate goal as keeping the home, many saw short sales as an equally negative outcome of mortgage debt.

Homeowners On Board

As the housing and mortgage lending industry has changed dramatically over the last few years, many homeowners have been forced to seek out options for relieving their mortgage debts. Unfortunately, not all of the available options are always possible. For example, loan modifications are a highly sought after option when mortgage debts become unbearable. Allowing the homeowner to both keep the home and get caught up on payments, a loan modification is the option of choice. However, strict qualification standards and stubborn lending practices have made securing one difficult for too many.

These days more homeowners are now volunteering for short sales rather than risk the damaging effects of a foreclosure. Although homeowners may still have to walk away from the home, protecting their credit and future chances at securing another mortgage have become top priority. Future lenders look more favorably on a short sale than a foreclosure because it demonstrates the homeowner's intent and effort in resolving their debts. However, we can't deny that even a short sale is more damaging than a loan modification or keeping out of financial hardships. But when times get tough, the focus shifts from desired goals of keeping a home to necessary goals of getting out with minimal damage.

Lenders On Board
