Bailing Out The Banks

by Ted Batron · Comment
Filed under: Debt Reduction 

The government doesn’t have the money to do this. They are already operating on borrowed money and don’t have enought to meet current obligations. Now they want to get us into the banking business?

This is your money people. Debt doesn’t just effect the private sector. Now, the Feds have decided to take trillions- YES, THAT IS TRILLIONS! - of dollars of money that they do not have to bail out the banks. It’s all very well and good that the banks don’t go under, but its still a bandaid on a gunshot wound.

I can sum up my opinion of this in one sentence. Where will they get the money?

Tax Debt and How To Deal With It

by Ted Batron · Comment

There will be those that disagree, but I have basically one opinion on tax debt.  Let someone who knows the system handle it for you.  Don’t attempt to negotiate with the IRS yourself, you will get screwed.  Thats about as straight as I can give it to you.  There are plenty of good attorneys who can handle tax debt for you.  They have negotiated it before.  They know the law, they understand the system.  They problem is that most of the IRS employees have limited understanding of the tax code.  But not to worry, along with their complete lack of knowledge, they also get far reaching power to collect. 

They can seize assets, seize wages, seize bank accounts ** WITHOUT GOING THROUGH DUE PROCESS OF LAW **  Thats right - they don’t have to use the court.   This is a debt where they actually can put you in jail if it gets that far.  I don’t want to be all gloom and doom.  But if you have substantial tax debt, this is the area where I do not recommend that you handle it yourself.  The knowledge involved is just too specialized and too complex.

Judgement Debt

If a creditor sues you in court and obtains a judgement, it can create a world of problems for you.  It is extremely long term, and almost impossible to remove from your credit report.  A debt judgement gives the creditor certain rights to collect the debt that they didn’t have when it was a simple unsecured, collectible debt.  They now have the right to attach your wages, seize certain property and use other remedies that were not available to them before. 

The bright side of this is that you can still make a deal after losing a judgement.  Its is however difficult to get it removed from your credit report, and you will need to make sure that you negotiate this BEFORE you make a payment agreement or a settlement.  It is extra work for the attorney, and without you giving them something in return - they just wont do it. 

If you offer to pay 50% - and they come back with an offer at 75% of the debt you might want to agree to it if you can afford it with the stipulation that they have the judgement vacated when the bill is paid.

You can deal with judgement debt, it’s just more complicated.

Credit card debt negotiation can help avoid bankruptcy even if you are overloaded with credit card debt.  Nowadays, too many people opt to take the easy way out of getting rid of their debts.  Bankruptcy has been around for many years.  People continue to take advantage of it and use it for their personal use.

Your creditors work to reduce your debt to a negotiated amount.  The amount can be reduced by up to 60 percent of the original debt cost.  You can negotiate either a lump sum payment or lower payments and low or no interest rate.  All of these factors working together can help you avoid bankruptcy.  With lower payments, you can save more money.  In turn, the money you save can be used to pay off other debts.

There is money that sits in your account that is set up for you.  These funds are to be used get rid of your debt.  After enough funds are in there, the negotiation with the creditor starts.   After the debt negotiation is completed, you have to send the specified amount to the creditor from your account.  After the payment has been made, the debt is considered settled, and the credit repair process can begin.

After the negotiation is complete, you can go back to managing your money properly.  You can also be grateful that you didn’t have to subject yourself to file bankruptcy.  That is one of the worst things you can do.  It may be an easy way out for some, but when others check your credit report, they make think differently.

The Benefits Of An Unsecured Loan For Debt Consolidation

The Benefits Of An Unsecured Loan For Debt Consolidation

People can use unsecured loans so that they can consolidate their debt.  Having an unsecured loan may be beneficial for some people.  There are different kinds of lenders that specialize in these kinds of loans.

If you are fortunate enough to get this type of loan, then you will be able to place your debts, such as credit cards and other miscellaneous debts, into one monthly payment that is usually cheaper.

If you were to get an unsecured loan, the lender would either disburse the funds to you or directly pay the creditors.  Actually, the latter would be a better suggestion.  At least the creditors will be assured of getting their money.  You would be able to include any debts that had high interest rates to be consolidated into one payment.

With an unsecured loan for debt consolidation, there are several benefits that would work to your advantage:

The interest rate from the loan would be lower than normal loans.  You would be able to save some money.

You wouldn’t have to concern yourself with missing any payments.  They would be combined together.

With just one payment to deal with, it would be a larger one rather than smaller payments scattered everywhere.

You would be able to improve your credit history and rating.  Your older debts would be paid on a timely basis.

You would be able to manage your budget better.  Having to keep up with numerous debts can be a challenge.

Having an unsecured loan for debt consolidation can be a good thing.  The downside is that not everyone can get one because everyone will not meet the qualifications to get one.

If you’re part of the “bad credit” club (bankruptcies, write-offs, collections, etc.) then more than likely, you will not qualify for this type of loan.  You would be considered a bad credit risk to them.  The lenders would feel that you are not trustworthy of paying on your debt in a timely manner.  The lender would have to look at your credit score and decide from there.

However, miracles have occurred where some people with not-so-good credit ended up getting an unsecured loan for debt consolidation.  The catch with this is that you would have to pay more in interest.

There are places on the internet where you can actually apply for these loans.  It may be convenient for some, but a lot of times, the face-to-face meeting is better.  If you do decide to apply online, you will still have to show proof of income and other related items.

When getting an unsecured loan for the purpose of debt consolidation, one thing to remember is that you must use prudence when doing this,  Make sure that you are disciplined enough to know that only you can be held responsible not to rotate back to your old ways.
