Today, I'm gonna cover, it's a reader question that I've had submitted right here, but I want to talk about it in a different context than how it reads. So, I'm gonna start off with saying this. Doing the right thing, or what you perceived to be the right thing about your unaffordable debt doesn't necessarily get you the results that you're thinking.
How does that add up? All right, so, I want to get in to the reader question and I'm gonna answer very distinctly and directly to start with. And then you'll understand a little bit better as to how this woman has set herself up to not accomplish her credit reporting goals. Here we go. We're up to date, but drowning in debt. Then I lost my job. At bankruptcy attorney's advice, I stopped

In other words, you're asking will AMEX, Bank of America, and Capital One and these creditors remove that because you continued to pay them, absolutely not. You have to try and catch those kind of situations before they charge-off the account. Then there is something called re-aging, where they bring your account current, even though you didn't pay six months of arrears or five months of arrears or three months of arrears.
You just start making payments again and as long as you make a few in a row on time, they'll re-date your account on your credit report so that it doesn't appear as if it's in delinquent. It's being not delinquent in perpetuity. Once the charge-off occurs, it's not going to be undone. They can't undo it. So, with that credit damage and your goal of trying to bounce back financially, I typically find that the best, and this is kind of counter intuitive, the best way to do that or accelerate that is to settle your debt with your creditors for less than you owe. Making it so that you can get out of debt quicker. Quicker than you could have in a Chapter 13.
Quicker than you could have now making the payments. And that way, you bring your accounts to a zero balance owed. The negatives aren't going to get any more negative because you settled. All that damage was done when you allowed them to charge-off. So, focusing on what you can do in the near term one, two, three years while
Subsequently, Draut also presents her opinion on credit card debt in the excerpt, “Strapped.” She discusses how credit card debt can negatively affect the lives of many young adults, which may lead to more problems down the road. She informs young college students about the dangers of credit cards. Draut explains that irresponsible spending may lead to a
One assumption that should be clearly analyzed is that the collection period is of 30 days net. Not always customers have the ability and willingness to pay off their debts in 30 days, some may take more time, and some could incur in bad debt.
If some research is undertaken that provides evidence that capital markets do not always behave in accordance with the Efficient Market Hypothesis, does this invalidate research that adopts an assumption that capital markets are efficient?
What would you do if you had $15,000? Perhaps you donate money to charity, or perhaps buy a new car? Maybe you could finally get that watch or purse that you’ve always wanted. The issue is that many people thought they had this much money. Unfortunately, they paid with credit and are now paying 18% extra on their purchases; in some cases, it’s even as high as 26%. That equates to paying roughly $18,000 dollars for something that only cost $15,000. Many Americans are regrettably faced with these bills today, but there is hope. There are people out there who want to get us out of debt, and back on our feet. This essay will look at two of those people, Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman. Of course, you will have to decide which will work best for you. Hopefully this will help you find your way to being debt free.
We all fall on hard times and get behind on bills. In addition, with accounts in collection and debt collectors
You can't make your debt disappear overnight, but you can make sure you pay your bills on time. There are several components that go into your FICO score, and the most important if those is your payment history. Your payment history accounts for 35 percent of your score, which makes it the largest single part of your score. It even counts more than how much debt you owe, which accounts for 30 percent of your score. A solid payment history won't make lenders fall instantly in love with you, but a history of late payments will convince them to avoid
Making mistakes when it comes to your credit is a lesson that many people learn the hard way. Constant phone calls, mail, and threats can make a tough financial situation worse. Either how well or how poorly you manage your debts and finances are available to creditors to see when you apply for credit, such as for a retail store card, or even an auto or home
Brooks begins his analysis of McLeod’s debt-venture by first noting the marauding lenders who offer “too-good-to-be-true” lines of credit and mortgage offers. He reminds readers that McLeod was, after all, a single mom who was made easily accessible by divorce, and that the offer of easy money to someone working two jobs was hard to turn down. The lenders made a majority of their money off of the initial lending fees, knowing good-and-well her loan would be
Free yourself from the illusion of authority. Many people make the mistake of giving too much credibility to the content of their credit reports. The power of the credit bureaus can be intimidating; we might believe
My own financial health resonates well with the above quote from Daly and Farley, not because I’ve thought about money, but because I know nothing about it. As a young student still breaking ties from home, I have to navigate the intricate world credit, lease contracts, financial aid, and investments seemingly to no avail. In his chapter titled “Enough Debt,” Dietz alludes to this complex world that is the American financial system that I and every other American are currently dealing with. With any complex system, there are misconceptions tied to it that can provide a simpler understanding to those analyzing it. Dietz provides three of the most prevalent misconceptions, how their true function actually debunks them, and then systemic changes
One cold morning Sam Black woke up with aching chest pain. Troubled by this new condition he went to see his Heart Doctor. Little did Sam know that hours later he would be lying on the operating table in route for a triple bypass surgery. The surgery went as planned, but it was not the last of them. Sam was sent to many specialists and rehabilitation centers, building a large bill, which they had no money to pay them with. He still pays several grand a year for the medication he is prescribed. Years after the operation Sam and his wife, Elsie, have narrowly escaped foreclose, however the most problematic debt they have is the hundreds of small term loans with interest rates in the triple digits. Elsie once said in an interview regarding
By observing a thorough interview of many borrowers who are already in a state of wage garnishment or tax offset, it dawns upon us that they don’t receive adequate notice or instructions on their options to get out of default. Such revelations can often be quite complex to deal with esp. when it comes to the audacious in lax front-end lending policies for borrowers with as many as 25 or more individual loans serviced by multiple loan servicers with different statements, due dates, and phone numbers.
No longer are these individuals slaves to their debts. They are no longer working just to keep their heads above water but are now thriving thanks to Coach4CashFlow service.”

About seven months ago, a warning came in the form of a mini stock market crash. As prices dropped, the country (including myself) struck out in panic. How was I supposed to pay my debt from purchasing stocks on margin? Luckily, at the time, banker Charles Mitchell reassured me as well as the rest of the nation that he would continue to lend us money. All was well again in my world. I continued with my grandiose lifestyle without a second thought as to how badly things could have gone. Oh, how oblivious I was.
