You can now use your fixed deposit to get a loan
With lending rates rising steadily, you would think twice before taking any kind of loan. In fact, in case you really need the money, you would think of liquidating your assets first instead of paying high rates on a personal loan. But there is one asset that you wouldn't want to liquidate - fixed deposits (FDs).
You can now find a solution within the product without liquidating it. FDs give you the option of taking a loan against the secured amount and provide the overdraft facility, wherein you can withdraw more than your deposit. "Instead of breaking a high-interest FD, it's better to take a loan against FD," said Suresh Sadagopan, a Mumbai-based financial planner.

Payday loans: Taking the good with the bad
Kelly Newell was out of cash. The Joelton resident, who has an in-home transcription business, found herself a little short and decided to go into Check into Cash for a $200 payday loan, the legal limit at the time.
Six months later she repaid the $200, along with $360 in “fees” that had mounted during that period.
Today, thanks to the Tennessee legislature, Newell and others can borrow up to $500 from a single lender. For some, the new cap is a good thing. Newellhowever, says she believes it will simply perpetuate the “debt cycle.”

Retailers’ Leveraged Loans Slump on Double-Dip Recession Concern in Europe
The threat of a double-dip recession prompted leveraged loan traders to mark down the debt of European retailers by as much as 17 percent, eclipsing losses of less than 1 percent in the rest of the market.
