Fayeway | Will there be a time when the banks will see that regardless of credit history, everyone needs low rates? |

No. Rates are not based on need, they are based on ability to pay. Hence, the credit score system, it was put in place to assess your payment history.
Banks are in business to make money, not to be a charitable organization. Lenders reward those who are responsible with their money by offering a low rate. |

Banks are not a " Social Services" entity, they are a business with the goal to make profits. The answer is NO. |

My friend, you do not understand the basic concept of risk. |

Anyone who needs low rates will EARN low rates.
Higher rates only reflect the higher risk for the bank. Every single one of us is responsible for our own credit. If you have higher rates it is because of your own choices, it is not something that the bank does w/o cause. |

I wish they would see that if you are in your mid 20's have lived on your own for 6 years and have never owed anyone money you are responsible enough to take out a mortgage despite having a minimal (but good) credit history. If you are asking whether banks at anytime will start giving loans to people with bad credit at the same rate as people who have educated themselves about good credit and worked hard to keep their credit rating good, then I would say no- or at least I hope not. People with bad credit do not deserve the same rates as people who have kept their credit score good. They haven't earned it. Why would someone give you a low interest loan if you already owe a ton of people money or can't pay your bills on time? It is too much of a risk for both them. I would pull my money out of my bank right now if I thought they would give someone with a low credit score a loan at the same rate as someone with a perfect or near perfect credit score. Where do you think they get that money from? Why do you think your savings account earns interest? I would never bank with an establishment that was that irresponsible and few sane people would. |

No, because it's not true. Credit should not be extended to those who have no intention of paying their bills and they are numerous.
There is nothing wrong with living within your means instead of expecting others to subsidize your greed. I'm tired of people who "need" brand new cars, a cell phone, a large home, a vacation, Starbucks every morning, and all this on $6/hr because they didn't feel like finishing high school or marrying before having kids. Then they claim they're "discriminated" against.
My sympathies are with those of us who are responsible, may not be able to get insurance through work, pay our bills on time, live frugally, and then have something beyond our control happen to us--such as a serious illness or the after-effects of 9/11. If we have financial problems it's not because we were irresponsible and that's vastly different from those with an "entitlement" mentality who will LIE on their mortgage applications--inflating their incomes by a factor of 5.
The higher the risk, the higher the cost to borrow should be and the higher the reward should be if you lend. That's what's right. |

You don't own stock in many banks, do you?
Banks do not exist as a public service. They exist to make a profit for the stockholders. In fact, the executive management of every bank is charged with maximizing profits. Lower interest rates = lower profits = CEO gets fired.
It really is that simple.

No. Because rates are not based upon need and no one is going to lend money unless they are assured it will be paid back. |

No, that is not going to happen. Credit history is what creates the risk factor for a lender. The higher the risk factor (created by a poor credit history) the more risk to the lender and the higher the interest rate charged. |
