Payday Loans Company Makes Strides With Recycling Programme

Leave a comment

Payday Express has long since recycled paper and toner cartridges and made steps towards having a paperless office, but has now expanded its recycling efforts further with a new general waste recycling program.

Disposing responsibly of waste paper was only the start of Payday Express’s efforts to minimise its carbon footprint, and it has now teamed up with Revolution Recycling, a London-based provider of recycling services for businesses.

This now means that Payday Express and their staff can further reduce the negative impact on the environment by recycling their thin card, plastic, metal cans, and glass, and staff are impressed by how easy it is to be more environmentally responsible.

Administrator Kristina Winch said that the company-wide approach to improving awareness of what could be done was paying dividends.

“We have gone from strength to strength as a company in the way we have changed how our staff are encouraged to think about the environment”, she said.

“This new set-up will help us all play a bigger part in our ongoing efforts to protect the environment.”
And Payday Express, operations manager Sarah Carroll added: “Expanding our recycling policy is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility.

“Hopefully, now that they can see how easy it is to play their part, staff will take the recycling message home with them and put it into practice there too.”

Pensioners Suffering As The Money Runs Out, Says Debt Solutions Company Trust Deed Scotland

Leave a comment

A new report reveals that pensioners across the UK are being left penniless as their money disappears every week in a whirlwind of bills, says Debt Solutions Company, Trust Deed Scotland.

An income of £207.15 per week is typical for most pensioned couples, but a report by Standard Life shows it goes straight back out the door as £207.24 is spent on food, fuel, housing and transport.

The report highlights rising inflation as the reason why the average pensioner has difficulties making ends and are being hit hard – many are having issues even affording a new pair of shoes, a holiday or a present for a grandchild.

While the Consumer Price Index remained the same in September at 4.5%, the Retail Price Index was hovering at 5.2% and threatening to rise again. Pensioner have a fixed income that doesn’t change from month to month, and that combined with inflation and large energy rises from utilities companies means turn some have turned towards credit cards to make ends meet.

A spokesperson for Scottish Debt Solutions Company, Trust Deed Scotland, said:
“According to Age UK, British pensioners are the fourth poorest in Europe, with the worst off set to lose up to 22% of their household income because of cuts to local authority services and changes to the tax and benefits system. This report highlights the dire position our parents and grandparents are in. At a time when they should be relaxing after a lifetime of working, they are pinching pennies and worrying about what the future will hold for them.”

The day before Standard Life published its report, the Institute of Fiscal Studies issued a warning about how ‘real’ inflation was hitting pensioners much harder than younger age groups.

“The Insolvency Service reported the fastest rising group of people claiming insolvency is pensioners,” said the spokesperson. “They are six times more likely to go bankrupt or take out a debt solution such as a Scottish Trust Deed or Debt Arrangement Schemethan they were just a decade ago. The number of people entering retirement with unpaid debts has increased, and when combined with increased life expectancy, the recession and limited options to increase income when you retire, it adds up to a lot of older people in real trouble”.

According to the Consumer Credit Counseling Service the average unsecured debt of newly retired pensioners is £21,370 and few have any savings at all. Once all the bills have been covered, there’s just £85 left at the end of the month.

“There are numerous reasons why pensioners are entering retirement in debt,” said the spokesperson. “Previous good house values led to many people remortgaging for home improvements or to loan to children or grand children for house deposits. There’s also the issue of divorce, where one partner will often buy the other out of their share of the property by extending their mortgage. And then some people are marrying and having families much later in life or having second families in their fifties.”

“For many life as a retiree in today’s world is just as expensive as it was when they were working, but now they have less income to live on.”

New Online Insurance Agent Website Launches to Provide Education and Free Quotes to Consumers

Leave a comment

Queensland, Australia — (RTPR) — 10/25/2011 — Consumer advocates are praising the recent launch of the new consumer-facing Website yourinsuranceagent.com. The Online Insurance Agent Website provides insurance quotes and a multitude of educational resources for finding and choosing the various types of insurance that most people need.

Most Americans need several types of insurance to guard against unexpected events, protect assets and maintain or restore their health. Regardless of the type of insurance, consumers must do their homework to find the best policy that fits their needs and budget. The twofold challenge for most people is educating themselves on the type of insurance policy they are seeking and then obtaining quotes that allow them to compare price and features.

Insurance quotes are available for home, auto, medical, dental, business, personal liability, whole life and disability. Regardless of the insurance type, finding the best insurance quotes takes time and research. “We wanted to create a Website that could provide comprehensive information on all types of insurance as well as the best quotes in one location,” said the yourinsuranceagent.com Website representative.

The Website makes it clear that although insurance provider policies may seem quite similar at first glance, they actually vary significantly from company to company. In addition to coverage options, policies vary on premium price and deductible costs, which both require close scrutiny. For instance, higher deductibles for medical or dental insurance may make it more affordable on a monthly basis, but this often leave people unable to pay the deductible when they obtain the service.

The Website also provides articles about finding and using insurance provider reviews that show what current policy holders have to say about particular providers. “Reading customer reviews and ratings will help the shopper to decide which companies are reputable for their insurance needs,” said the Website representative.

Online insurance quotes generally provide a better rate in addition to saving valuable time verses face-to-face meetings in an insurance provider’s office. Getting multiple quotes from yourinsuranceagent.com empowers consumers with the ability to make crucial comparisons before purchasing a policy from any one particular policy provider.

The online insurance agent Website also provides informative articles so that consumers can learn about the differing types and aspects of insurance policies. In addition to informative articles on reviews and ratings, the Website delves into insurance policy terms, contract clause, and how changing state laws can affect policy validity among other topics.
