CENTRO Properties remains confident its bankers and noteholders will formally consent to a "long-term refinancing and stabilisation" plan as soon as today, despite confirming yesterday the expiry of a $5.05 billion debt facility.

OZ MINERALS has received a last-minute lifeline from its bankers, who have granted it a two-month extension on the refinancing of more than $800 million in debt.

WHILE the Commonwealth Bank has been busy putting out spot fires after fumbling its $2 billion capital raising last week, bad debts on its books have piled up faster than expected.

Choosing the right refinancing loan can be difficult when every mortgage company is lowering its rate.

By using a refinancing loan to get better terms on your mortgage, you may be able to increase the length of your mortgage or increase your ability to repay.
