Hi Mukoh,

Yes and that's because Frontier was first in line many months ago to make Barclays pay up. Frontier still has exposure to other residential and commercial developers.

Barclays actually went under on June 19th. I blogged about it here:

Well, well. Look who's in the news tonight. Columbia Bank:

I would guess Columbia bank is holding a lot of Soundbuilt's 1800+ lots. Although KeyBank is big into that builder.

Its a shame to see Barclays go though because Pat is really a hard working guy who came from the roots up and built a very diverse company, with hard working people behind it. Riding on that edge and optimism arrogance crept up.

My parents have horrible credit; my brother is in the army and makes decent money but doesn't have enough credit just like me. There's no one else I can turn to for money for school and I've exhausted all of the federal aid and loan I can get for this year. If anyone knows agencies or banks that help people with no credit get student loans please help. Where can I get a private student loan without credit history?
