GE MONEY TOPS MORTGAGE LENDING AT PINK HOME LOANS
Firstrung's mortgage partner - Pink Home Loans, has revealed that GE Money was the most popular lender on its panel in 2006. GMAC-RFC partners came second in the results closely followed by Mortgage Express. David Copland, deputy managing director at Pink Home Loans, commented: "This does not surprise me as to date GE Money have concentrated its distribution through the packaging community, however, their recent launch into the direct-to-lender market could see the support for packagers wane. This will all depend on whether or not they can get their two sales teams to work together and how they differentiate, if at all on pricing." .
Stepping out from under Sir Alan's shadow
Tim Campbell has lost count of the number of wannabes who have asked Sir Alan Sugar's first TV Apprentice for advice on how to become a millionaire. "They ask me how to get to where I am and I say, 'Well actually, I've just got a job. I'm not this massive success they think I am." For two years, Campbell has lived the reality of a TV programme that has done more to popularise business than a whole host of political promises. .
N. Korea Talks Breakdown Over Funds
(BEIJING) A senior U.S. Treasury Department official held talks in China on Monday as part of efforts to untangle a dispute over North Korean funds frozen in a Macau bank that led to a breakdown in talks over Pyongyang's nuclear program. Daniel Glaser, deputy assistant secretary for terrorist financing and financial crimes, met officials from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the money held at Banco Delta Asia, a lender in the Chinese territory of Macau, said Glaser's spokeswoman Molly Millerwise. North Korea walked out of six-nation disarmament talks last week because of a holdup in the release of the $25 million. Glaser's meeting was "positive and cordial," with officials focused on "solutions to the implementation matters and our common interest in addressing this issue as quickly as possible," Millerwise said in an e-mail.
