A High Court case that could have set a landmark ruling to keep distressed borrowers in their homes by ceding part-ownership to their lenders was settled this week.

A year after declaring Tasmanias golden age, the Hodgman government will plunge it back into debt for the first time in 16 years, while cutting the public service.

A boost to health and education will be offset by slashing $450 million from government departments, while $1 billion in debt will help fund a $3.6bn infrastructure program.

As well as breaking a promise not to drive the state back into the red, the Liberal government has breached its pledge of no new taxes, introducing a 15 per cent betting tax and extra slugs on foreign investors.

Getting a debt consolidation loan for bad credit may require shopping around, but there are options, including loans from credit unions and online lenders. In fact, some lenders cater to borrowers with bad credit (a credit score below 630) and consider factors beyond your score, such as education, income and job history.

Ideally, a debt consolidation loan should have a lower interest rate than the combined rate on your current debts and allow you to pay off your debt more quickly. Use our debt consolidation …

Headline losses before tax came to 87.3 million for the 53 weeks to March 30, compared to 72.8 million this time last year.

Losses were deepened by the retailers store closure plan, which was agreed last year under a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA).

The collapse of British Steel Limited, with the potential loss of at least 5,000 jobs, has once again exposed deep fault lines in the governments laissez-faire economic ideology and in Britains shareholder-centric model of corporate governance.

The government clings to its do-nothing approach, justifying its rejection of financial support, a bailout or public ownership of British Steel because these options would be illegal under the EU state-aid laws.

Yet the UK government conjured up billions of pounds to bail out banks through loans, guarantees and an extensive quantitative-easing programme. It brought the East Coast rail service and other lines back into public ownership. None of this was opposed by the EU.

The government doled ou…

A Conewango Valley man who helped defraud more than 100 small business owners out of $397,249 through a debt restructuring scheme was sentenced Thursday to time served in prison, which equaled 9 months.

Prosecutors wanted U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo to send Mark Farnham to prison for 27 months.

Farnham, 26, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud, was a manager for Corporate Restructure, a firm in Salamanca and Buffalo, and with other affiliated companies that in 2016 mailed solicitations to small business owners claiming it could help them lower their debts with other lenders by 50 percent to 75 percent, U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr. said.

When talking with victims, Farnham used aliases and lied about…
