Ge Mortgage Insurance Issues Statement on S&p Credit Watch Action & Get an Auto Loan the Smart Way
GE Mortgage Insurance today released the following statement in response to the decision by Standard and Poor’s to put GE Mortgage Insurance on CreditWatch:
S&P made its decision despite the fact that our capital position has never been stronger.
The S&P action is based on a change in S&P’s rating methodology, not on any change in the financial condition of GE Mortgage Insurance. S&P noted that changes within its rating criteria “now limit the rating support for a strategically important subsidiary to one notch below the parent’s rating” unless there is a significant explicit support agreement from a higher rated parent. We believe we have such an agreement from GE Capital, which is rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s. Our implicit and explicit support from GE Capital has not changed.
GE Mortgage Insurance always has been one of the strongest capitalized participants in the mortgage insurance industry and continues to hold capital well in excess of S&P “AAA” requirements. In fact, we have operated with the lowest Risk to Capital Ratio (the industry measure of capitalization given a company’s portfolio of risk) in the industry for the last five years.
The other two rating agencies, Moody’s and Fitch, continue to recognize the unmatched financial strength of GE Mortgage Insurance. Both agencies recently reaffirmed their ratings for the company at “AAA,” their highest levels.
We appreciate the fact that Standard & Poor’s sees GE Mortgage Insurance as having “strong fundamentals” and “very strong earnings and market position, extremely strong capitalization, and deep and experienced management.” Those factors make it clear why GE Insurance includes credit enhancements such as mortgage insurance in its vision for the future.
GE Mortgage Insurance (Web site: http://www.gemortgageinsurance.com) is part of GE Insurance, a global family of insurance and reinsurance businesses with $13.6 billion in premiums and assets of $188 billion.

Get an Auto Loan the Smart Way
Did you know that most people pay hundreds or thousands of dollars more on auto loans than they have to? Get an auto loan the smart way. Read on.
Most people really get taken for a ride on their auto loan. Did you know that differences in the total cost of different auto loans can run into a thousand dollars or more? Here’s how you can get the lowest rate:
*
Make a list of different auto loan lenders and their interest rates and terms, before you go to the dealer (the web is usually the easiest way to do that). Did you know dealers get a commission on the loans they refer? If you’re not careful, that extra bit of money for the lender could mean you pay a higher rate than you would if you got the loan yourself.
*
Get a credit report and figure out your FICO scores. Removing any incorrect negative information from your report will help you get a better deal. Knowing exactly what your score is will help you figure out what interest rate you can realistically get.
*
Have bad credit? Try going to your credit union, bank or another institution where you have a relationship. Lenders like to help out established customers. If your bank still won’t help, online “bad credit auto loan” lenders usually offer better less expensive loans than dealers who advertise their great deals for people with poor credit.
*
Use a vehicle loan calculator. It will tell you what your loan will cost each month. It saves you the time of looking at vehicles you can’t afford, makes you aware of what information you’ll need to apply for a loan, and is a “reality check” of your financial condition.
*
Comparison shop, comparison shop, comparison shop. You don’t get the least expensive car by choosing a dealer at random, and you won’t get the least expensive auto loan that way, either.
Start researching your options now:
