	The SF Site Featured Review: The Borrowers, The Borrowers Afield, The Borrowers Afloat
		The Borrowers -- the Clock family: father, Pod; mother, Homily; and daughter, Arrietty -- are first introduced to us through the eyes and ears of a young boy sent to convalesce at his great-aunt Sophy's manor in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire (site of Mary Norton's childhood home).
		The close-knit community of borrowers also reflects much better the life and aspirations of the average man, making the story much more believable, and not fanciful dreams of incredibly beautiful princesses and impossibly heroic warrior-princes.
		Her descriptions of borrower indoor living-quarters draw very much from the stage where she performed at different times in her life.

	"The Borrowers" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The special effects are neat and the Borrowers use of common items is fun too (dental floss for rope).
		Actually, the whole premise of "borrowing" without asking permission is okay to watch in a movie, but not practice at home.
		My wife and I went to see "the Borrowers", refreshed to actually be able to see a movie that had a positive review with nothing offensive reported...BUT...unfortunately the review failed to mention the one expletive, and more importantly the profaning of God's name.

	Home Mortgage Loan Guide - Home Loan Help for Bad Credit Borrowers
		Borrowers' credit will be evaluated and given a grade, where A is the best, B will be credit showing a bit of tarnish, C represents fairly bad credit, D means very bad credit, occasionally I've even seen some F's.
		Borrowers should note that the value used for this calculation on new purchases would almost always have to be the lower of the purchase price or the appraised value.
		Provided the borrower qualifies for the loan based on their credit score and loan to value requirements the next hurdle will be a review of the debt to income ratio.

	Minority Subprime Borrowers - Minorities Pay More for Home Ownership
		The race/ethnicity of borrowers is a powerful factor in the penetration of subprime lending in Texas communities.
		Among higher income borrowers, the distinction between subprime lending to Whites and subprime lending to minorities is stark.
		We find Black borrowers are 3.9 times as likely to end up with a refinance loan from a subprime company than non-Blacks (combining all other borrowers), after accounting for all these other factors.

		For borrowers trying to decide whether they should take a second mortgage, either to avoid mortgage insurance or to avoid the higher interest rate on a jumbo as opposed to a conforming loan amount.

		The cheapest way to borrow to invest is through an extension of a home loan.
		Borrowing to invest should never be considered a surefire winner, says Kevin Bailey, the founder of the Money Managers.
		A popular strategy is to pre-pay interest on next year's borrowings before June 30 and claim the tax deduction this financial year.

	Remarks by Susan V. Berresford at the Fannie Mae/Ford Foundation/Self-Help Event
		This research is measuring the ability of the borrowers to pay their mortgages and the effect that homeownership is having on their financial and other assets.
		The vast majority of these borrowers were not required to obtain mortgage insurance, a significant departure from normal practice and a saving to families on tight budgets.
		This is an important finding, because it indicates that, in addition to building financial assets, most low-income borrowers also have demonstrated that they are good credit risks and can, at least so far, and contrary to prevailing expectations, repay their mortgages in conformance with the standards of the prime lending market.

	THE BORROWERS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Unbeknownst to the "human beans," there is a family of miniature people, the borrowers, who also live in the house and are the ones responsible for borrowing those items that often turn up missing.
		The cast members who are the borrowers play an essentially innocuous family group that borrows items so that they can live their lives as "normally" as possible.
		Instead of searching for ancient artifacts, however, the borrowers are on a precarious mission to replace something extremely important to them -- a AA battery that powers their "borrowed" string of Christmas lights that illuminate their home.

	Folio Books: Review of The Borrowers by Mary Norton
		Among other things The Borrowers is a portrait of a family; their personalities (none of them perfect) and the ways they get along together (or sometimes don't) bring them vividly to life and straight into our hearts.
		Up to a certain point, it seems to say, "borrowing" odds and ends, and certainly leftovers which would otherwise be wasted, is harmless (in fact, schools using The Borrowers as a literature text nowadays often see it as recycling, and therefore admirable).
		In The Borrowers Aloft they are captured and imprisoned in an attic for an entire winter by Sidney and Mabel Platter, who also have a model village and who plan to blow away the competition in the spring by exhibiting them in a glass cage.

		The borrowers can now have the confidence that they are likely to be approved and proceed to work with their Realtor to find an appropriately priced home.
		Many loans are credit pre-approved, before the borrowers pick their future home, negotiate the purchase and sale and request that the appraisal be done.

	The tale of the borrowers and lenders?
		A common factor in the financial crisis in several countries was the failure of most debtors to hedge the foreign exchange risk of borrowing in foreign currencies.
		A large part of this borrowing was in US dollars and this constrained the domestic borrowers to undertake the additional cost of hedging the risk of a change in the exchange rate against the dollar because the domestic currency had remained pegged to the dollar for long periods of time.
		Most borrowers would also have reasoned that authorities held ample foreign exchange reserves to defend the peg against speculative attack.

	MuggleNet \| The Book Trolley - The Borrowers - Reviewed By Robbie Fischer.
		She and her brother and sister were raised in India, but during a trip to England the brother contracted rheumatic fever and was sent to a great-aunt's house in the country to convalesce.
		The story itself is about the Clock family, the last 3 borrowers left in old Aunt Sophie's big house in the country, where they live off the little things left unattended by the invalid aunt, her cook/housekeeper Mrs.
		Their daughter Arrietty, however, longs to spread her wings, since only her father is allowed out of their little house under the kitchen floor, and the only sign of a larger world she has ever seen is the view of a grassy bank, through a grate on the side of the house.

	Review: The Borrowers
		Loosely speaking, The Borrowers belongs to the Home Alone genre (clever, little underdogs defeat big, bulky bad guys while inflicting enormous physical discomfort upon the villains), which might be something of a surprise to those who hold the Norton books in high esteem.
		The Borrowers presents its tale from two perspectives: that of the normal-sized humans and that of the 4-inch high borrowers.
		In The Borrowers, the viewer isn't forced to identify with an animatronic rodent or an irritating child actor.

	The Borrowers (Site not responding. Last check: )
		But I was in for a shock, The Borrowers is actually a thoroughly delightful movie with plenty of good laughs and even some decent special effects.
		The Clock family of borrowers is as distressed as the Lenders, especially once they discover the evil Potter actually has a copy of the will which leaves the home to the Lenders.
		Hopefully The Borrowers will surpass the curse of being labeled a children-only movie, for it is surprisingly entertaining and fun to watch.

	Home Equity Scams: Borrowers Beware! (Site not responding. Last check: )

		At the end of the loan term, the principal-that is, the entire amount that you borrowed-is due in one lump sum called a balloon payment.

		The spokeswoman said borrowers unable to pay the extra amount added to their monthly payments may apply for a loan extension.
		The problem did not result in borrowers paying amounts that exceed the terms of their original loan and interest agreements, she said.

	The Borrowers . Nashville Scene . 02-23-98
		The Borrowers are a race of three- to six-inch-high humans who live beneath the floorboards of the big people that they call "Beans" (as in human beans).
		The Borrowers have made their nest out of lost bank cards, game pieces, and food packaging; one can almost imagine some disgruntled Bean playing a hand of solitaire and wondering what became of his four of clubs.
		The Borrowers is based on a popular series of children's books by Mary Norton; if this installment spawns a sequel, I hope the plot that the filmmakers borrow next time around is as imaginative as the characters that enact it.

		The Montana State University Extension Service is an educational resource dedicated to improving the quality of people's lives by providing research-based knowledge to strengthen the social, economic and environmental well-being of families, communities and agricultural enterprises.
		The payday loan industry has emerged in response to consumer demand for small loans (from $50 to $300) for short periods of time (from one to 31 days) that typically are not made by traditional lenders.
		Borrowers who habitually overuse these types of loans can find themselves on the road to financial disaster because of the relatively high costs of obtaining the loans compared to the costs from other sources.

	Who should get an interest-only mortgage? (Page 1 of 2)
		After the end of that term, usually five to seven years, you either refinance, pay the balance in a lump sum, or start paying off the principal, in which case the payments jump skyward.
		If there were such an animal as a typical interest-only borrower, it would be an executive who earns a moderate salary and whose main income is from bonuses once or twice a year, says Jim McFadden, program manager for private mortgage banking for Wells Fargo.
		Historically, interest-only mortgages were for affluent borrowers, he says, but "you've seen the product come down-market a little bit in the last couple of years."

	Summary
		GAO was asked to examine (1) how consolidation borrowers differ from nonconsolidation borrowers; (2) how federal costs have been affected by recent interest rate and loan volume changes; and (3) the extent to which repayment options--other than consolidation--are available to help simplify and reduce loan repayments.
		For example, the average student loan debt among consolidation borrowers prior to consolidating their loans was about $22,000 versus about $10,000 for nonconsolidation borrowers.
		Lower interest rates available to borrowers in fiscal year 2003 increased these costs because FFELP consolidation loans carry a government guaranteed rate of return to lenders that is projected to be higher than the fixed interest rate consolidation loan borrowers pay.
