NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla. (bankrate.com) -- Credit card issuers are like a guy with three hands.
"It truly is a shortsighted measure."
One hand is pushing troubled customers to seek debt counseling before they can file for bankruptcy protection. Another hand is cutting back on contributions to debt-counseling agencies, which largely are supported by credit card companies.
The other hand is snatching back much of the break in interest rates that credit card issuers give people enrolled in debt management plans. Critics say that without interest rate relief, more people could be forced into bankruptcy -- an outcome that card issuers don?t want.
"It truly is a shortsighted measure," says Travis Plunkett, legislative director for the Consumer Federation of America.
Looking for a 'fair' deal
But that?s not how credit card companies see it. It?s only fair that people in debt management programs pay their fair share, they say, and they don?t believe they?re forcing anyone into bankruptcy.
The result has been a double whammy to the credit card industry. Issuers lose money whenever someone seeks bankruptcy protection. And when people enroll in debt management programs, card issuers typically charge lower interest rates, stop charging late fees and contribute money to the debt counseling agency.
Faced with these pressures, lenders have asked Congress to change the bankruptcy laws. Among the proposals: a requirement that individuals seek debt counseling before they can declare bankruptcy. If enacted (President Clinton has promised a veto), the law would send thousands more people to debt counseling agencies.
Most debt counseling agencies are nonprofits that get almost all their financial support from the credit card industry. They offer an array of services, including debt management plans. When you qualify for a debt management plan, the counseling agency consolidates all of your debts. You make a big monthly payment to the agency, which distributes the money to your creditors. A debt management plan usually lasts three to four years.
Issuers feel shorted
The arrangement is supposed to benefit all three participants. The consumer usually gets reduced interest rates, lower monthly payments, no more late fees, and fewer calls and letters from bill collectors. Debt counseling agencies get their operating money by taking a percentage of the payment. Lenders get to collect money that they wouldn?t receive had the debtor declared bankruptcy.
Although they don't admit it publicly, credit card companies believe they get the short end of the stick.
"I think the issuers are probably looking at debt management plans the way they look at bankruptcy: that consumers are taking advantage of debt management plans; it?s too easy," says Frank Martien, senior consultant for First Annapolis Consulting, a firm that advises the banking industry.
That's not news to Celia Diehl, vice president of creditor relations at the National Foundation for Consumer Credit, the umbrella organization for 1,440 local debt counseling agencies (most of which are called the Consumer Credit Counseling Service). "What I hear is that creditors are beginning to shop counseling agencies," she says.
Different help for different folks One-third of debtors who contact a credit counseling agency end up in debt management plans. The rest may just walk away with budgeting help or even a referral to gambling or substance-abuse counseling, or to a bankruptcy attorney.
Those who are accepted for a workout plan need to qualify. The Consumer Credit Counseling Service offices require documentation and won?t enroll someone in a debt management plan just because he has trouble paying bills. Debt Counselors of America works over the phone and Internet but it, too, requires clients to send in extensive paperwork before enrolling in its debt management plan, called One Pay.
Dealing with debt More people in credit trouble are seeking help, either filing for bankruptcy or seeking help from the Consumer Credit Counseling Service's offices.
Individual bankruptcies
Clients in debt management plans
Although lenders worry that some consumers abuse debt management programs so they can get lower interest rates and halt collection calls, they recognize that the agencies provide a valuable service.
"They?re sending customers to credit counseling agencies earlier," says Patricia Boerger, spokeswoman for the American Bankers Association, explaining that card issuers use computer technology to spot account-holders with problems.
Nonetheless, the credit card issuers are trying to recover some of the costs of letting strapped customers join debt management programs. Early this summer, some of the biggest credit card issuers raised interest rates on debt management plans. First USA ONE, -1.69% raised its rate from 0 percent to 6 percent; Household Credit Services HI, -0.48% hiked its rate from 6 percent to 9 percent, and MBNA KRB, +13.07% increased its rate from 10 percent to 15.9 percent, although it will negotiate a lower rate in some cases.
Mike Kidwell, co-founder and vice president of Debt Counselors of America, says the raised interest rates might boomerang on banks by encouraging more consumers to declare bankruptcy.
Making debtors pay for programs
"The program is not without cost to us. We think it's appropriate that people taking advantage of the program pay some of the cost of the program."
Spokespeople for credit card issuers dodge the question about whether charging higher interest rates will increase bankruptcies. Instead, they talk about how much debt management programs cost.
"We fully support the credit counseling agencies. We think they do a good job," says First USA spokesman Jeff Unkle. He adds: "When cardmembers take advantage of this program, we?re eliminating late fees, we're cutting out the collection calls. The program is not without cost to us. We think it's appropriate that people taking advantage of the program pay some of the cost of the program."
Craig Streem, a spokesman for Household Credit Services, notes that customers who are not in debt management plans pay interest rates in the high teens.
"If someone enters into a workout, sure, the rate is now a little higher than it was before, but it's dramatically lower than what they would have been paying" before they entered a debt management program, Streem says.
Less support for agencies While the card issuers make troubled customers pay more, they're giving less to debt counseling agencies. In years past, the customary contribution was 15 percent of a consumer?s debt, although some gave less. Starting this summer, most of the biggest credit card issuers started giving 10 percent. A few contribute 6 percent. First USA wants to encourage agencies to make payments electronically instead of by check, Unkle says, so the company pays 6 percent to agencies that send checks and gives 10 percent to agencies that use electronic money transfers.
But that strategy might backfire on credit card issuers, says Martien of Annapolis Consulting. He fears that the reduced contributions might harm debt counseling agencies that now do a good job of weeding out people who don?t truly need debt management plans.
So, is it just a case of one hand not knowing what the other two are doing, or are the credit card companies up to something more sinister?
With tongue in cheek, Plunkett of the Consumer Federation of America observes, "It could be that they have a giant master plan to close off bankruptcy as an option and squeeze the debtors harder, because it makes it harder for them to declare bankruptcy." But, he adds, "I think that gives them too much credit."

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama. United Airlines may face several lawsuits as a result of its policies and practices for bumping passengers off overbooked flights. When a passenger was filmed being forcefully dragged off a United Airlines flight, the video led to public outrage and serious backlash for the airline. According to the New York Times, the passenger's lawyer claims that, in the incident, the man suffered a broken nose, knocked out teeth, and has since suffered sinus problems that may require reconstructive surgery. The passenger's lawyer claims that a "culture of disrespect" has led to more incidents similar to the one that resulted in United's public relations disaster. Yet, part of the problem stems from the fact that passengers may not always know their rights when they are being bumped from an overbooked flight.
According to CNN, airlines often overbook flights. In most cases, some passengers don't show up, allowing airlines to make money and ensure that everyone gets a seat. But, when all passengers show up to their flights, airlines may face a situation where they don't have enough seats. In most cases, the airline will announce that the flight is overbooked and ask passengers to give up their seats in exchange for vouchers. However, CNN reports that sometimes volunteers may get less than they are entitled to receive than if they are bumped. Vouchers may have limitations and expiration dates and, once you volunteer, you are bound to the terms of the deal. However, if you are bumped, airlines must offer you cash and must find you another flight.
Carriers that need to bump passengers must follow federal law. If they cannot get you to your destination within one hour of your estimated arrival time, they are required to pay. If you arrive one to two hours late, you may be entitled to cash that is double your fare. If you are over two hours late, you may be entitled to compensation that is 400% of the fare. You have the right to demand a check instead of a flight voucher. If you are offered flight vouchers, remember that they could have expiration dates, limitations on holiday flights, and must only be used with the airline.
Finally, if you feel your rights have been seriously infringed, don't cash your check right away. For instance, if the cost of your bumped flight exceeds what you are paid, you always have the right to sue, but only if you don't cash the check. If you have been injured on a flight, or suffered a loss due to being bumped off a flight, you have rights.
Passengers should never be forcibly removed from a flight unless they are posing a danger to others around them. There have been conflicting reports about whether the removed passenger on United was acting aggressively before he was removed. However, according to Fortune, another woman is suing United, claiming that she was asked to move to a downgraded seat, without explanation. She claims she was physically moved and not told her rights. She is pursuing $150,000 in punitive damages.
Airlines are subject to federal laws and regulations. If you have suffered an injury on a flight or suffered losses due to the actions of an airline, you may have important rights. Marshall P. Whalley & Associates are personal injury lawyers who are closely watching how airlines' policies adapt in the wake of recent incidents.

The two artists that I hadn't really expected to be quite so bound to Picasso but whom this exhibition would have you believed virtually plagiraised his work are Henry Moore and Francis Bacon. Room six has a number of sculptures by Moore which are lit up by a strange, bright biomorphic canvas by Picasso - Standing Nude (1928, not dissimilar to this one owned by the Met).
Most striking is the Moore sculpture Three Points (1939-40, left) which is an uncanny echo of the horse's mouth in Guernica (1937, right). Picasso made a number of studies for this character in the finished freize. There are a number of examples in Room eight, (complete with a scale facsimilie of the celebrated painting).
With the biomorphic abstracts of Room six in mind, we can see the influence on Bacon in Room seven. Furthermore, editions of the Cahiers d'Art produced during the 1930s show these figures in a number of guises, often with polyp heads and dancing poses that Bacon took across for his crucifixtion studies. Most remarkably there is a geometric study of a head with a grotesque vertical mouth full of teeth - this opposite one of Bacon's many familiar canvases focusing on the bestial, screaming mouth of a figure.
And so it goes on. I liked the distance that Wyndham Lewis managed to create between himself and Picasso. Their aesthetic style is different althought the wit - the satire - that both brought to their canvases showed them to be of the same mind. For example The Reading Of Ovid (1920-21, left) shows shady figures at a table digesting the savory delights of the author. No doubt the figures of Picasso's etching The Frugal Meal (1912, right) could be found in the less expensive corner of the same slumhouse. In the same way, Georg Grosz's rasping satirical impressions of Weimar might well have borrowed from the observation of a Wyndham Lewis picture like The Theatre Manager (1909).Once again, following the Vorticists exhibition Tate Britain hosted earlier in the year it is clear to see the triangular relationships between Cubism, the dynamism of (Italian) Futurism and the kinetic perspectives of Vorticism - Wyndham Lewis' Smiling Woman Ascending A Staircase (1911) seems like a sketch for Tamara de Lempicka's dynamic glamour, and the cubist-flattened pleats of the figure's skirts seem to oscialltae between the foreground and background.
I also really liked the smattering of works by Graham Sutherland towards the end of the exhibition, showing them to be of a part with Bacon's canon. I was less interested in David Hockney's homage room (though Christopher Without His Glasses On (1984), a portrait of Isherwood in the Dora Maar-period style of Picasso is adroit). The best reason to go to the exhibiton though is the sheer volume and range of original works by Picasso on show. A two-visit exhibition.

Florida Statutes section 440.02 provides for the exemption of worker's compensation claims or benefits due or payable under Florida Statutes, Chapter 440. Courts have held that this exemption for worker's compensation benefits applies whether the benefits are compensate for lost wages or for present or future medical expenses. This exemption though does not apply to creditors with claims based on child support or alimony.
The Florida Supreme Court held worker's compensation benefits deposited into a bank account remain exempt "so long as the funds are traceable to the workers' compensation benefits." Broward v. Jacksonville Medical Center, 690 So. 2nd 589 (Fla. 1997).

At the beginning of 2014, Community Christian Church answered God's call to stop focusing inward and start looking outward to spread the Kingdom of God. After much prayer, we began looking for where God was calling us into partnership, taking a financial leap of faith to partner beyond the walls of our building.
In 2015, our church began a sister-church partnership with Word International Church in Zuarungu, Ghana. Two of us went and met with Peter Awane, the pastor and visionary head of Word International Church. He asked us to send small teams and individuals from Maryland to come alongside our Ghanaian brothers and sisters in ministry and outreach.
The following year, a small team from CCC went back to work with Word International, preaching side-by-side with ministry leaders to reach out to villages where there was no church. In one of the villages that we visited, a tiny church sprang up, and we were able to help ensure that Word's leaders would continue to be able to go out and disciple that small body. In the past year, that church has grown to over 100 members.
In April 2018, we (Sean McCarthy, Steve Raley, and Kristi Friese) will be returning to Ghana to work with ministry leaders from Word International Church to reach out to local villages, to continue sharing the Good News that God's Kingdom has come, and that we have been redeemed. Our purpose is to encourage and uplift the local leaders and disciples as we work with them side by side, learning and sharing from the Word of God, and using the blessings God has given all of us to bless others as we continue the work God has begun.
It is our prayer that God would continue to use this partnership to bring about a complete transformation of the communities in Ghana's Upper East and beyond as we work together - learning, preaching, and teaching - to renew our understanding of God, his Kingdom, and our place in it.
Please join us as we continue to leap in faith.
Sean, Steve, and Kristi
