New Digital Postal Metering Standards

Regulus Among First to Meet New Digital Postal Metering Standards

Largest Independent Provider of Bill Presentment and Payment Processing Solutions Partners With Pitney Bowes to Improve Mail Management

NAPA, CA -- Regulus, the nation's largest independent provider of paper and electronic-based bill presentment and processing solutions, announced today its successful compliance with Phase III of the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) Plan for Secure Postage Meter Technology. The new standards improve postage accounting capabilities for increased accuracy while strengthening postal security.

Regulus, which worked closely with Pitney Bowes on the digital postal metering project, is among the first outsource print vendors to meet the December 31, 2006 compliance deadline. The difficulty of meeting the more stringent compliance standard led the USPS to allow temporary exceptions for vendors unable to meet the established deadline.

"Regulus is proud to team with another industry leader in demonstrating its commitment to the highest levels of postal accounting and regulatory compliance," said Jason Gaskey, Regulus print operations director. "We have undertaken a major initiative to meet USPS standards on schedule and will continue to prioritize the crucial task of making our mail management systems more efficient and effective."

Regulus integrated Pitney Bowes' industry-proven DM Infinity Series Digital Mailing System and its DFWorks Postage Accounting Solution into its nationwide network of document processing facilities. Pitney Bowes' secure IBI-compliant technology is the most widely adopted digital metering standard in the industry.

"Accuracy and compliance have never been more critical than today," said Patrick Brand, President of Document Factory Solutions, a division of Pitney Bowes. "We share Regulus' commitment to protecting the integrity of its postal systems. Our solutions automate manual processes to increase productivity while increasing management capabilities and control."

The USPS' overhaul of its metering standards began in 1995 and will last through at least 2008. Phase I retired all mechanical meters, Phase II retired all manually reset meters and Phase III migrates letterpress meters to the enhanced security of digitally printing meters. Compliance with Phase III is the result of a recently completed multimillion-dollar initiative in which Regulus bolstered its existing advanced mail monitoring technologies to meet ever-increasing security and compliance requirements.

As part of the Phase III initiative, Regulus replaced more than 60 manually-adjusted meters across its nationwide network of facilities with Pitney Bowes' state-of-the-art digital meters that can be remotely monitored and reset via the Internet. Additionally, Regulus installed network feeds to all of its meters and reintegrated the upgraded system with the company's accounting system. These improvements allow Regulus to closely track metered and manifest mail in order to ensure the most accurate mail and postage tracking possible.

Mail Barcode Implementation From Pitney Bowes

Pitney Bowes Launches Web Site Focused On Intelligent Mail(R) Barcode Implementation

STAMFORD, Conn., January 08, 2008 - Recent years have seen profound changes sweeping through the mailing industry: postal reform, shape-based pricing, and a host of other initiatives that have forced mailers to rethink every aspect of their strategies and operations.

This pace of change will not let up in 2008 as the industry prepares for the next major shift: widespread deployment of the Intelligent Mail® barcode requirement, a change that will be largely invisible to consumers but that has vast implications for mailers of all sizes.

To help these organizations learn more about the Intelligent Mail® barcode and other initiatives, Pitney Bowes maintains a web site dedicated to providing information on such major initiatives and has now added the latest information about the Intelligent Mail® barcode. The site (www.pbpostalinfo.com) contains a basic overview of the subject, with links to a new Pitney Bowes white paper about the barcode, and to other useful background information and contacts.

"The need for clear, concise facts about the Intelligent Mail® barcode program will only grow over time," said Pitney Bowes President and CEO Murray Martin. "We want our customers, and all mailers, to get timely and actionable information that will help them stay ahead of the curve as the proposed deadlines approach."

The Intelligent Mail® barcode is the tool that the United States Postal Service will use to dramatically enhance its service to mailers. The barcode has the capacity to uniquely identify every piece of mail entering the postal system, a first for the Postal Service. This technology will enable unprecedented visibility into the postal network for mailers and for the Postal Service itself, opening the door to a host of new and valuable opportunities for companies to make their mailings even more efficient and effective. For example, the advanced barcode will enable mailers to track all outbound statements and inbound payments, greatly improving customer communications when there is a question about a bill or payment.

The barcode was first introduced in 2006 and has been largely a voluntary program for mailers. More than one billion pieces of mail have already been processed with the new technology, and in 2009 the Postal Service may make use of the Intelligent Mail® barcode mandatory for mailers who want to receive certain postal discounts. This is a powerful incentive for companies to adopt the new technology, and to upgrade their systems and work processes to support its use.

"This is the first major change in mail barcode technology in more than twenty years, so many companies will be in uncharted territory," Martin said. "The sooner they can get the information they need, the sooner they can begin to make the changes required to meet the Postal Service's requirements. These are important investments to make that will pay outstanding long-term dividends."

Foreclosure Prevention Hotline Calls Double

 Nation's Foreclosure Prevention Hotline Shatters Previous Call Records

President Bush's announcement encourages more than 140,000 concerned homeowners to reach out for help

January 15, 2008 - MINNEAPOLIS - More than 143,000 calls from distressed homeowners were fielded by the Homeownership Preservation Foundation's Homeowner's HOPET Hotline in the fourth quarter of 2007, twice the number of calls received during the third quarter and nearly 10 times that of the first quarter of the year.

The Homeownership Preservation Foundation (HPF) is a nonprofit organization that operates a national 24/7 hotline - 888-995-HOPE. The hotline provides free, bilingual, personalized assistance to help at-risk homeowners avoid foreclosure.

In December 2007, the HOPE hotline became the primary contact point for homeowners with delinquent mortgages, as part of the HOPE NOW Alliance, the Administration's initiative to stem America's foreclosure crisis. HPF is a member of the HOPE NOW Alliance of mortgage servicers, mortgage market participants and counselors. According to HPF, more than 37,000 homeowners received counseling during the fourth quarter alone - more than three times the 10,000 completed sessions in all of 2006.

"We're encouraged because more homeowners are being proactive in reaching out for help," says Colleen Hernandez, president and executive director of HPF. "Mindful of the significant call volume following the President's announcement, HPF established a triage response system that offers resources to those who need information and directs callers who need foreclosure prevention counseling right to counselors, allowing us to operate more effectively."

Among homeowners who called 888-995-HOPE, 31 percent were less than one month behind in mortgage payments up from 24 percent during third quarter 2007.

"It's reassuring that homeowners are addressing their mortgage issues earlier, however we need to continue to reach out to troubled homeowners to let them know there is help available," said Hernandez. "No matter the situation, HPF can provide options and information to keep more Americans out of foreclosure."

Key Statistics - Fourth Quarter 2007

Foreclosure can happen to anyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, demographic or type of mortgage. The following are current trends observed by hotline counselors:

    * California continues to be the top counseled state, accounting for 18 percent of the total call volume; Ohio ranked second (9 percent) and Illinois rounded out the top three with (5 percent).
    * Adjustable-rate mortgages, in aggregate, made up 48 percent of calls; fixed-rate mortgages accounted for 28 percent.
    * 61 percent of callers reported annual household incomes of less than $42,000; 15 percent of callers reported annual incomes of more than $60,000.

About the Homeownership Preservation Foundation

Founded in 2004, the Homeownership Preservation Foundation is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit dedicated to reducing foreclosures and preserving homeownership for American homeowners. The Foundation partners with city, county and state governments; federal government agencies; community-based nonprofit organizations; and mortgage companies to offer creative solutions to preserve homeownership. HPF's cornerstone service is the Homeowner's HOPET Hotline, a foreclosure prevention counseling service available free to American homeowners by calling 888-995-HOPE.

Information and Advice On Immigration Law

Immigration Law Help Offers Information and Advice as Immigrants Remain a Hot Topic

One of the biggest concerns for presidential candidates this election year is the immigration law, and ImmigrationLawHelp.info is providing information and legal advice for those trying to understand this complex issue.

Carlsbad, CA  -  January 5, 2008 -- As anyone who is following the 2008 election coverage knows, immigration law is a big topic of discussion for this year's candidates. There is also a barrage of new state immigration laws that are going into effect throughout the country. As the issue becomes more complex, Immigration Law Help is offering information, advice and legal counsel when necessary.

The candidates are all expressing their opinions about immigration issues. Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani, for example, supports biometric identity cards and a national database to keep track of foreigners entering and exiting the country. Democrat Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has voted in favor of amendments to increase interior enforcement, fund a border fence and deter employers from hiring illegal immigrants. The debate about immigration policy will undoubtedly continue, and Immigration Law Help plans to see more people visiting their site as the election draws near.

Immigration Law Help, an online service that provides advice about how to become a legal citizen, understands the issues facing many people who are trying to enter the country legally. As presidential candidates are feverishly debating immigration issues and the public opinion about immigrants grows more tumultuous, there are still people waiting to become citizens the right way. Immigration Law Help believes it is important for these people to stay informed about the current immigration law.

For more information about immigration policy, visit www.immigrationlawhelp.info.

About Immigration Law Help:
ImmigrationLawHelp.info understands the problems that immigrants face, and they know that immigration to the United States can't and shouldn't be forbidden. They are, however, completely against illegal immigration. Immigration Law Help believes that making as much information available about the immigration law as possible is one way to minimize illegal actions.

ImmigrationLawHelp.info knows that navigating the constantly changing immigration law is not an easy task. The large number of forms that must be filled out, the numerous types of visas and the complicated green card hearings make legal immigration harder. So, their goal is to encourage legal immigration by providing the necessary information, advice and legal counseling when necessary. And their advice is simple: be informed and stay legal.

Find a Debt Settlement Company that Guarantees Results

Absolute Debt Solutions Founder Advises Consumers to Find a Debt Settlement Company that Guarantees Results Before You Pay

Absolute Debt Solutions guarantees that consumers won't pay a cent until they get a signed guarantee.

Plano, TX (PRWEB) January 8, 2008 -- For consumers looking to get out of debt, the Founder and CEO of Absolute Debt Solutions, Tom Bates, advises looking for a debt settlement company that guarantees their results. Bates says as the debt settlement industry continues to establish itself, one thing that seems to be standard across the board is fees and lack of a guarantee.

"They all want to get paid and it is not cheap," says Tom Bates, Founder and CEO of Absolute Debt Solutions. "You will spend at least 12% of your total debt for your average debt settlement company to assist you in settling your unsecured debts. That is in addition to the continuing late fees from the bank."

So, he says a debt settlement company's advertisement that reads 40-to-60% savings is not really accurate and he advises reading the fine print.

"There is the issue of taxes when the 1099c comes from the bank," says Bates. "There goes another 14% based on the amount saved. So the sales pitch of 40-to-60% just fell to 15-to-25% saved. Well, if all they are going to get you is 15-to-25%, why do you need them? You don't. You need a company that has a track record that produces real debt settlements, with a solid guarantee. Plus, if they are so good at what they do, then why pay them one dime until the work is guaranteed? You don't pay anything 'til the car is back and running from the mechanic, right? How about the pool man or the yard man, or even the barber? Are you going to pay before your hair is cut? No -- and you should not pay 'til your debts are settled according to a signed guarantee."

Some companies come highly recommended and come with endorsements and affiliations. Bates says not to be fooled by meaningless certificates; many of these companies have paid thousands of dollars to become members of these organizations. On top of that, these organizations have no say in the acts of the company. In fact, Bates says, many of these organizations are run by owners and directors of settlement companies.

"The BBB, to my knowledge, has never been to any of their offices," says Bates. "Unless the company is certified and there are standard follow up procedures on a weekly or monthly basis, a framed certificate or trophy of affiliation is worthless. Accountability is everything."

Bates questions why people who are already in a financial decline should create more debt to resolve the problems they already have. He says the situation may get even worse than the one they're already in. If consumers pay a debt settlement company regularly for one or even two years, they will have paid thousands of dollars they can't afford and have saved little for the settlement unless they have a solid guarantee. "This does not sound to me like these companies have the consumers' best interests in mind," says Bates.

In most cases, creditors can and will settle for pennies on the dollar with the right approach. But Bates asks why consumers should pay anything until the work is done and guaranteed? Bates says debt settlement, like many other industries, should charge based on results.

"No debt settlement company can help you unless and until you have money to use for settlement," says Bates. "So until you have these funds, they are simply a mail box for you. And, should they stop the calls from the collectors, that's great -- or is it? If the bank can't call and can't write, what can they do? They can and in most cases will, file suit. Though a law suit is not the end of the world, they are not much fun. They will still settle, but at a much higher rate."

After more than a decade in the credit and finance industry, Tom Bates has developed a Debt Settlement company to assist consumers without being taken for a ride. Absolute Debt Solutions promises consumers pay nothing more than what is guaranteed for settlement, plus all graduates of the debt settlement program will receive free credit repair.

Structured Settlement Company Reacts to Lower Interest Rates

Woodbridge Investments, LLC Reacts to Lower Interest Rates

http://www.woodbridgeinvestments.com/ has just announced that the recent announcement from the Federal Reserve will allow the company to lower their interest rates as well.

(PRWEB) September 30, 2007 -- http://www.woodbridgeinvestments.com/ has just announced that the recent announcement from the Federal Reserve will allow the company to lower their interest rates as well.

On September 18, 2007, the Federal Reserve surprised the world when it announced that it was taking an aggressive move in order to help fix financial markets in the United States. In order to help forestall negative effects on the economy, the Federal Reserve announced that it was going to cut interest rates by ½ point. Many industry experts expected that the rates would be cut by .25%, and were shocked when the Federal Reserve dropped the rate so much lower.

Scott Schwartz, the Director of Sales for Woodbridge Investments, LLC, has now announced that the declaration from the Federal Reserve gives Woodbridge Investments the ability to make their rates lower.

"Now is the time for people who are seeking a lump sum for a structured settlement, lottery or jackpot payment, or seller held notes on mortgage, to take advantage of lower rates to get the absolute highest value for their long term payout." Schwartz said.

Woodbridge Investments, LLC, is a company that is based in Studio City, CA. For over fourteen years Woodbridge Investments and their predecessor company has been buying lottery payments, annuities and structured settlements. They have quickly become one of the most active purchaser's of long term payouts and have always maintained that they have low prices and excellent customer service.

The company, available online at http://www.woodbridgeinvestments.com/ is excited to be able to offer even better rates for potential clients, thanks to the news from the Federal Reserve. The people working at Woodbridge Investments believe that the money made from a structured settlement, lottery winning or any other type of settlement belongs to the receiver, and should be paid on a schedule that is fitting for the payee, not the one paying the money.

Investor Ranks Cash Flow Markets

NuWire Investor Ranks Top 10 Cash Flow Markets for 2008

NuWire Investor recently published its top 10 cash flow markets for real estate investors.

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) January 7, 2008 -- NuWire Investor, an online financial news publication, recently released its rankings of the Top 10 Cash Flow Markets for 2008.

Appreciation is often the most significant form of profit for real estate investors, but it is harder to determine and higher in risk. Cash flow alone, rather than any potential for future appreciation, was used in ranking this list.

Rankings were determined based on an adjusted average rent payment for the area according to the rental vacancy rate. This value was compared to the amount spent monthly on mortgage payments and upkeep, including utilities, taxes and insurance. Mortgage payments were estimated based on an average loan and the median cost of a home in the area. Statistics were gathered from U.S. Census data.

Despite a slight population decline in the last few years, Rochester, N.Y., ranked number one because of its affordable housing prices, and low monthly upkeep and mortgage costs. Several Southern cities also made the list, including three from Texas. Texas also has an affordable housing market and many foreclosure opportunities for investors, particularly in San Antonio.

The Top 10 Cash Flow Markets are:

1. Rochester, New York
2. Montgomery, Alabama
3. Birmingham, Alabama
4. San Antonio, Texas
5. Garland, Texas
6. Buffalo, New York
7. Corpus Christi, Texas
8. Shreveport, Louisiana
9. Detroit, Michigan
10. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Insure Success with Mobile Marketing

State Farm Realizes Unprecedented Success with Mobile Marketing

Nation's Largest Car & Home Insurer Drives Leads for Agents via Innovative Mobile Marketing Execution

Austin, TX  -  December 19, 2007 - State Farm Insurance partnered with Blumo, The Mobile Experience Agency, to integrate mobile into its State Farm Win College Cash Sweepstakes. The program allowed prospective college students and their parents the opportunity to win up to $5,000 for undergraduate or graduate school tuition. In addition to entering online, fans attending select NCAA football games during the 2007 season had an opportunity to win up to $1,000 in cash instantly during in-game text-to-win promotions.

During the course of the promotion, thousands of fans were exposed to, and participated in, the sweepstakes sponsored by State Farm. Most importantly, 12% of those who participated in the sweepstakes requested additional information about State Farm products and services from their local agent.

"When done correctly, integrating mobile into an otherwise typical promotional campaign can have tremendous effects in driving participation and serving as a catalyst for new customer acquisition," said Sean Bartlett, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Blumo. "By adding an activation mechanism to State Farm's existing media placements, we are able to engage the participant in a dialog that enables them to not only enter the text-to-win contest, but also be introduced to their local State Farm agent in real-time, creating a win-win situation for State Farm."

The State Farm College Cash Sweepstakes ran through November 30, 2007 and was promoted extensively in traditional media and at major college football games. The State Farm Win College Cash Text-to-Win started out like a typical text-to-win promotion, however, the similarities stopped after the first interaction. Participants were required to verify their eligibility and were given the option to receive a second entry for replying with additional information, including their zip code. Using the zip code, as well as the participant's mobile number's area code and exchange, their local State Farm agent was dynamically determined in real time. A reply was then sent to the participant introducing the local State Farm agent and offering them the opportunity to learn more about relevant State Farm products and services.

"We just finished the season and the results have been phenomenal," said Ronnie Lee Vandiver, Zone Marketing Manager at State Farm. "Branding and promotions are certainly a key component of our business, but the ability mobile provides to add an activation mechanism, show real business results, and provide detailed metrics in real-time makes it integral part of our campaigns."

Florida Foreclosures Increase 35%

South Florida Foreclosures Increase 35 Percent in 2007

Broward and Miami-Dade counties both see over 13,000 foreclosures.

Mt. Pleasant, PA  -  January 3, 2008 -- Default Research, the premier provider of lis pendens data in South Florida, is reporting that foreclosures are up 35 percent in 2007 in that area.    

According to Default Research, in Broward and Miami-Dade 1.75 percent and 1.45 percent respectively of households entered some phase of the foreclosure process in the last 12 months. Also in 2007, Broward saw foreclosures increase by 66 percent, while Miami-Dade had an increase of 27 percent.

"There is no end in sight for Florida foreclosures in 2008," said Serdar Bankaci, President/CEO of Default Research. "Median home prices are still decreasing as home inventories increase. That is a recipe for more foreclosures in South Florida. Last year we saw an average of about 220 foreclosures daily in our extensive coverage area in Florida."

Across the Sunshine State, the average median home price is $221,000. However, in the much more expensive South Florida, the average median home price in Broward and Miami-Dade is $346,800. The larger price tags for the properties in South Florida have, however, actually hurt the market and recovery.

"Many investors have been burned by the foreclosure crisis and are just walking away from the properties in South Florida," said Bankaci, who lists foreclosure sales two to three weeks ahead of the competition. "South Florida foreclosures will continue to rise as more ARMs reset and people are unable to make their payments. My statistics are showing that our bank foreclosure list will continue to grow and it is unlikely that South Florida will exit the foreclosure crisis in 2008."

Bankaci knows firsthand about the South Florida market because he lived there in 2004. He witnessed the "incredible" price increases and watched the number of condominiums increase almost daily. Unfortunately as the housing unit numbers grew, the demand and money began to decrease.

"There is significant demand for rental properties," said Bankaci, who offers his clients the freshest and most accurate foreclosures lists. "I urge our customers to buy and rent out properties while they weather the foreclosure storm. With foreclosure real estate selling for discounted prices, investors are buying properties, renting them and already getting a return on their investment."

Default Research is Florida's leader in foreclosure research. More information about Default Research can be found at its Web site: www.defaultresearch.com.
