People typically undergo a couple of years of planning before they finally jump into major decisions such as applying for a home loan—especially if they are not really that well-off. However, some people do have a feasible loan plan at hand but cannot go straight to the lender’s office after viewing their credit score for that particular period.

Low scores are not exclusive to people with delinquent and unpaid payment, even good payers experience this—particularly if their credit lines are always maxed out. But why should the home loan plan get stopped just because of a low score? The lenders are already coming up with new lending policies to accommodate good payers with a lower then prime score, so there is still a chance to get the loan that is badly needed.

Do you ever make a purchase and a day or two later, realize that the item is on sale for cheaper than you had bought it for? That has happened to me more than once. Fortunately, most retailers have a price adjustment policy, so getting a lower price might be as easy as making a phone call or sending an email.

• Check the policies. Some places allow a price adjustment within 7 days of purchase, others give you 2 weeks or more. Sometimes price adjustments can only occur on non-sale items or non-final sale items.

• If you are not sure of the policy (or even if the company doesn’t have a policy), it never hurts to ask.

On June 23, 2011, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that has sent waves through bankruptcy courts across the nation. Stern v. Marshall, 131 S.Ct. 2594 (2011), is the latest opinion in a long running dispute between the estate of Vickie Lynn Marshall, better known as Anna Nicole Smith, and the estate of her late husband’s son, Pierce Marshall.

There have been numerous reviews and analyses of this opinion, so this blog post won’t focus on the specifics of the Stern decision. Rather, this post will attempt to illustrate the effects of the decision on the Delaware Bankruptcy Courts. One review of the Stern decision that I would recommend was written by Brett Axelrod of Fox Rothschild, and is available here: . 

I do not doubt that the Delaware Judiciary has asked counsel in numerous hearings if Stern v.
