Emergency Financial Services; Payback

Yesterday, NCUA issued Letter to Credit Unions 11-CU-13. Â Unfortunately, the letter does not give any additional information than was provided previously and discussed on Tuesday. Â I really wish NCUA would have included citations but perhaps they are working on a legal opinion letter with more information and specifics. Â
The CFPB took a different approach in response to Hurricane Irene.  Their blog post points to past information from the FTC and HUD informing consumers of potential loan scams. Â

On the commute home last night, there was a familiar question asked:  Do you know what Saturday is? Fortunately, I was the one asking the question this time and my fiance was the one scrambling for an answer.  I let her squirm just a bit before letting her know Saturday marks one-year since we got engaged. Â
Her response: Â So that means we've been planning this [insert adjective] wedding for a full year now! Â I can promise you the adjective did not include "ing"Â so it wasn't that bad. Â
