New Century gets financing approved
Bankruptcy
New Century Financial Corp. (NEWC.PK: Quote, Profile, Research), the largest U.S. subprime lender now under bankruptcy protection, was authorized on Thursday to obtain up to $150 million of financing to keep operating under Chapter 11.
The package, which was announced Monday as the company announced its bankruptcy filing, includes up to $150 million of debtor-in-possession financing from The CIT Group and Greenwich Capital Financial Products Inc.
According to the Associated Press, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Carey said he would agree to the interim financing. Carey earlier granted the lender interim authority to pay "its utility bills, remaining employees and other necessary expenses until the company's assets can be sold next month" the AP reported.
The Irvine, California-based company collapsed amid rising delinquencies and defaults, a federal criminal investigation into its accounting and trading in its securities, and orders by or agreements with at least 17 U.S. states to stop lending.
New Century has said it agreed to sell its loan servicing unit to hedge fund Carrington Capital Management LLC for $139 million, and some loans to Greenwich Capital for $50 million.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
