Nationalised B&B admits bad debts soaring

Nationalised B&B admits bad debts soaring

debt

Bradford & Bingley, the nationalised mortgage lender, said yesterday that its first-half pre-tax losses had soared to £160m from just £26.7m in the first half of last year.

The stricken lender, which is being run down by the Government, said the reason for the loss was an alarming rise in bad debts, which rose to £328.4m from just £75.6m a year earlier.

The lender’s £40.3bn loan book is now being run down, and the deposit business has been sold off to Banco Santander of Spain.

In its statement yesterday, Bradford & Bingley reported a sharp rise in mortgage arrears. Cases three months or more in arrears, or in possession, equated to 5.88 per cent of its mortgage accounts – more than double the figure for the same period last year. The figures were sneaked out late on Friday, when many in the City had already left for the weekend.

Axe falls on 850 jobs at Allied Carpets

By Scott Reid Deputy Business Editor
MORE than 850 jobs have been axed after administrators for Allied Carpets called time on the bulk of the failed retail chain.
Ten Scottish stores are among the 142 that have been shuttered by BDO Stoy Hayward after it failed to find a buyer amid fears over tough trading.

The future of 120 jobs still hung in the balance last night as the firm sought to offload the remaining 20 outlets still in administration.

Allied collapsed last month after the housing slowdown hit on the demand for carpets and flooring products. The move left 21,000 orders still outstanding.

Twitter is working on a way to automate its retweet process to enable smoother and more comprehensive access to information across the popular micro-blogging site, according to a new blog posting.

Biz Stone, co-founder of the site, wrote yesterday that the firm intends to “formalise” the process of retweeting so that users do not need to manually copy and paste tweets to share them with their own followers.

Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 rumoured for imminent price cuts

Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 rumoured for imminent price cuts

sony ps3 xbox microsoft

Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 are being tipped for imminent price cuts, according to reports from a wide range of sources. Okay, we know that console price cut rumours are hardly a rarity in this game – in fact, we’ve been expecting this PS3 price cut for nigh on a year – but there’s better reason than ever to expect a serious shake up in the console market.

As you’ve probably heard if you’ve seen any PlayStation related news in the past six months, Sony is reckoned to be releasing a new version of the PS3. As Sony likes to do with so many of its games gadgets, it’s getting some fat shaved off its chassis to make a new slim model. Although Sony has been keeping mum, the PS3 Slim rumour has been shared and spread by many people close to the source, the latest being a French retailer who’s let slip that “New console, new price” is Sony’s next strategy.

Palm Pre Sales Tumble After 3GS Release

Palm Pre Sales Tumble After 3GS Release

palm-centro-sp-1-s

By Desire Athow of itproportal

Palm’s future seems to be even bleaker as an analyst told investors that he forecasts that the number of Pre sold in July would be around 100,000.

Analysts are known to be rather unreliable but Ilya Grozovsky’s note to Morgan Joseph investors could cause the company’s shares price to drop significantly.

The number of Pre sold in June is said to have dropped to 200,000 with August numbers expected to be significantly worse.

Previously, Grozovsky estimated that Palm would be selling around 400,000 Pre’s in the three months ending August. It is now highly unlikely that this number will be reached.

Grozovsky reckons that Palm and its partners will need to slash the price of the smartphone to revive sluggish sales as the holiday season approaches.

In addition, Ashok Kumar, of financial advisory group Collins Steward, has downgraded Palm stocks afte fears that less than 300,000 handsets were sold in May and June.

Pre production is expected to fall by as much half a million units over the next four months. The drop in sales could partly be blamed on the success of Apple’s new iPhone 3GS handset which was launched back in June 2009.
