Summon up for Control of Our Nation's Debt Problem

Credit card companies are the face of evil. They target students, low-income families, almost anyone and everyone. They will soak the cheese in front of your face, and attract many unsuspecting in. Now, I do not choose the credit card companies, dumb ass people who do not know what they do are equally to blame.

However, if the credit card companies had not existed, we would not have this problem. Too many people are screwed on, and as stated gos "The good of many outweighs the good of some." 99.9% of the time, if you do not have money, you should not be buying it, and the .1 is the small minority who finagle credit cards to make payments, for use businesses, etc. Viable, weighed, intelligent risks, where the chances of success is higher than the risk of failure.

For my part, I am sick of these conglomerates who control the credit companies most of the cash flows in America. I say tax these motherfuckers! Tax 'em 50% of their income. Yet instead of these big companies get tax breaks through the site using the IRS as a money launderer.

This was pissing me for a long time. Today I finally had an idea to strike back and save some of these cocksuckers to bankruptcy. It starts simple, I took the reply envelopes Affairs, added some notes of paper with various remarks "No thank you" or "No thank you, I am Catholic," "Maybe", "I do not emotionally able to commit to your offer now "and mailed to the return of the company. Bam! You go knock on their wallets in 3 places. 1.) Postage, even if they ended up sending the number of mail will drive their costs with the post office, and they will be forced to renegotiate their contract. 2.) Heure de l'Homme, thinking all the time losing their opening as Business Reply Mail. 3.) Refuge, thinking of all of the space will be in the trash. Unless you have an incinerator? Then, it cost them more difficult to stir.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. You know those promotions credit card? Subscribe to xx and you will receive gift cards, bonus points, etc. First, sign up to any good offers, please read the agreements and make sure 100% it will cost them more than you. Preferably, it costs you nothing. Then be sure to use your bonus points, gift card, etc. Use it immediately so as not to forget or not to expire. I can I apply for 3 credit offers every 2 quarters (6 months) and it did not affect my credit score.

In general, if you will join me in my fight against these evil conglomerates, we can eliminate credit card companies, and it will be less a problem in the world. Can you say no more national debt? Think of the possibilities that open, and to education, social work and programs to flourish. It will affect the economy and quality of life will reach new heights.

Credit Score Can affect Home Loan Approval [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

Eliminate debt

The quickest way to improve your FICO score is raised to pay the balances on credit cards. According to Craig Watts of Fair Isaac, this may raise a FICO score 60-70 points on the night.
The elimination of debt is vital for lenders approving a loan. Credit card history is the financial responsibility because the borrowed amount is due or the borrower. Compare

than for other loans, if a company or institution makes a loan, and it is easy to see why credit history means that good money management.

Distribute regularly

If you are a large charge on your credit card will ensure that payments are spread evenly through multiple cards. Expenditures of more than 50% of your credit limit on a card can lower the score dramatically. Do not spend too much on a single credit card, split up, pay your bills on time and your score will be on track.

Old credit cards

The older a credit card the better. It would be absurd to close a credit card account which was opened for several years and was well managed. In addition, new lines of credit are generally lower credit score. The opening of new lines of credit is good, but not at the expense of positive credit history.

Credit score is always changing

Just because you have had positive credit of three years or even a month ago does not mean that is the case today. A major flaw or some monetary hiccups can change your score. Taking minimum withdrawals from a previous credit line with a good road map is the credit equivalent to a cruise.

To Summarize

If credit is established to maintain. If you're building credit, to exercise discipline and methods of distribution and one day you too, one day, click the button on cruise control, driving into the dream house you've worked hard to win.

If this is right or not is irrelevant because the reasons are justified. Increased foreclosure rates, because of lose lending standards have ruined the dream of many officials that loan applicants are required to adapt to a growing problem.

The current situation can be compared to what many universities have experienced in recent years due to too many students default. Leave fewer qualifications, to strengthen the restrictions and limitations force the plaintiffs to prove themselves by improving their test scores or attending a community college.

Credit Card Debt, Bankruptcies, What Happened? [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

When the credit card was introduced for the first time credit companies you qualified as a bank and more consumers for credit cards apply to qualification requirements for release. As the use of credit cards has increased and basically everyone had at least one hour, pre-business blindly send cards with credit limits you in the mail. I remember having received numerous credit cards pre-mail in the meadow with cash advances and checks easily have in my hands up to $ 100,000 credit just wait my signature. This is the trend, there is no demand for lending money or guarantees required, just put your signature on the plastic card and the only limitation is you. People generally feel that if a credit card company has sent them this line of pre-credit they deserve and can afford it because the lender has sent you right? Here is the root of the problem, the decision was left to us, the consumer, which must be reasonable credit and take responsibility in controlling the urge to spend more than we can afford to let this card, take instead of money in our wallets. The good thing about money in your wallet is physically see the money go if you pass it and implement, there are more days to pay with a credit card, it's still there for you to use it.

According to recent reports from major banks and lenders there is a sharp increase in late payments on loans, credit card balances and mortgages. Many families are on top of their debt, which is returning home loans where people have accumulated years of

of debt carried reckless spending. Another common mistake is for consumers to manage their credit card payments to the limit and apply for loans to transfer balances credit card. A way out of debt, as it is well to avoid interest charges of credit cards if you stop for loading and repay the principal of loans. Rather than many consumers to repeat the same mistake and continue to receive their purchases on the credit card to the limit. This created a bigger problem if the house is mortgaged over and there is no equity left to borrow against. When the owners are not emergency funds in place, they are at risk of losing all their assets including their homes, if they are late on payments. The fact that credit card companies have lowered the credit limit available or canceled credit card accounts without any notice immediately made this serious problem in our economy. This combined with the current housing crisis is stripped of equity in our homes and leaves no cushion for consumers to rely on that in the past.

As we experience a slowdown in the economy we need to understand the many aspects that contribute to the current economic situation. There May be a long future for the economy and it is perhaps not as self-healing as it was in the 70's, 80's and 90's when baby boomers were in their peak spending years in using their credit cards up for large purchases unaffordable, cars and housing. This generation is entering their retirement years and in May we not be able to rely on their buying habits en masse to pull the country out of recession this time. Being part of the generation of baby boomers we realize that during our lifetime, we have been the wave that creates markets, mussels and society, we are again changing the world that we are moving to retire with new habits of saving and spending.

Credit Card Debt, Bankruptcies, What Happened? [Part 1]

Debt credit card cash advances, interest rates, loans, attachments, personal bankruptcies, where are we today and how did we get here? Not so long as if you were to borrow money for a car, a house or improvement, you must go to your bank, see the head of loans, to apply for a home loan and sharing complete with your spouse. After both of you agreed you could afford the payment to repay the loan, you need the application to the bank with the manager, a little sweat and hopefully get your loan approved. When the loan was approved, it was based on your employment, credit history, your ability to repay and you were given in good faith that the loan officer you meet face to face. Yes, believe it or not, you personally guarantee the loan, in person and that means paying the full, in time, in its entirety. To borrow money and to be approved for a loan was a privilege that you have won, not a right. Growing up in 60 years as baby boomers many of us remember this process that our parents went to buy extra things for our family. Thus we learned about the responsibility of borrowing money and power to do things now and pay for them with the money tomorrow. Most of our parents borrowed to pay for things they could afford and took a loan for not having to touch their savings accounts.

Another type of credit used in the 50's & 60's was the old "retirement plan". This has been a popular way to buy if you had no money at the time of purchase. The "retirement plan" has worked like that, let's say you want a TV that is on sale this week for $ 400 at a local shop, buy this TV today with a $ 80 deposit, which should block sale price and ensure you get that TV, store clerks who stock a TV tag in the store with your name on it. You would not take that TV until the house was paid in full. Most plans permit throwing away 60 or 90 days to repay and many people go to the store every week after having received their pay check to make another payment on the balance until it be paid in full.

Then came a new type of credit, the famous credit card. This little piece of plastic to change the world, spending patterns so as to never dreamed of and eventually eliminate the need for brick and mortar banks. Yes, this little magic card great. It fit right into your wallet, as the species, Unlike a savings book or checks. This card is the new way to buy goods in shops or pay for petrol in your car. Another name for the card has been "revolving credit", and this name was perfect because the more you charged more on credit around. Soon this will be our way to pay for most everything instead of using cash or checks and credit / debit cards would be a substitute for making small loans and loans from local banks.

redit card debt. Yes, 4 inches of tissue paper wonders are a real scourge for many Americans. With the increased ease in obtaining one, they seem to multiply in your portfolio until you have half a dozen floating around, while carrying their damages, one dollar at a time. So how can the average American debt eliminate credit card? A method is described by many economists as the Credit Crunch method. He works in the following steps:

Step 1: Take all your credit card statements and make a list. Include your credit card, the card balance, interest rate, the cost of periodicals, and the minimum monthly payment.

Step 2: In this step, you'll need to organize all your cards in a new list of interest higher or lower APR. This gives priority to the card interest higher than the first which should be paid. This is the step which is the Credit Crunch method very useful for many. Maps of the highest interest are those that ultimately more expensive.

Step 3: In this step, add all the minimum payments required. You will see a fixed amount that you spend each month on your credit cards. You must make the minimum payment on each card to avoid late fees - which can accumulate quickly, especially if you have multiple cards.

Step 4: This step is most difficult for you, now that you have the minimum you need each month, you have the budget to be about the minimum. For this step, you find yourself in May redo your budget and find ways to reduce other expenses. Remember, you are now in order of priority of your credit cards to eliminate your debt - it could mean more pizza night for a short time.

Step 5: You make the minimum payment on each card - but with the most money you can put together, you will be able to map with great interest. So for this card, you make the minimum payment and any extra you have.
By using the credit method, you pay the highest interest card first, use the extra money you save each month back. Once the card is not free, you move to the next card interest higher and move in the list.

Almost all Americans debt is credit card. Some are excessive and are not certain, but according to the latest reports, the average debt of credit card companies is ten thousand dollars. Of course, you could be one of the millions of Americans who need more than that, or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who have less. However, with more and more jobs are lost each day during these difficult economic times, it does not matter if you owe over a thousand dollars or one hundred thousand dollars for the credit card companies unemployed, we will not be able to pay your debt. If you are one of those people, then perhaps it is time to get information from debt consolidation to determine whether it's how you need to go.

To consolidate credit debt, you have two options, you can get a loan, which is likely if you're out of a job, or you can use a credit counseling to help you get your card credit debt under control. There are two types of credit counseling services, for-profit and nonprofit. There are renowned companies in the two forums, but there are those who are not known, so it is important that you have provided debt consolidation information as possible before choosing a company. You want to make sure you have confidence in the good company with your money.

To determine what company to choose, you should use the Internet to find out what others are saying about the company. Most reputable companies are registered with the Better Business Bureau, which is available online and you can immediately see all the complaints and how they were resolved.

Credit Card Debt problem for College Grads

As you leave college life behind, you're probably carrying a lot more around you than just a shiny new diploma. If you're like most college graduates, you have the burden of debt credit card lots of it. In fact, the average college graduate leaves school with more than $ 2000 debt to a credit card.

Of course, some of them may yet spring break trip your junior year, but most of it was probably accumulated school-related costs such as textbooks, school supplies and the food. Regardless, the debt is debt, and the worst of the debt is credit cards. You need to get rid of him as soon as you can. We know that funds are tight, but by setting up a payment plan, you can quickly eliminate the debt by credit card.

Do more than the minimum
With interest rates on credit card balances ranging as high as 18 to 23 per cent of credit card companies love for you just to pay the minimum amount each month. If you do this, the composition holds interest, and credit card company continues to grow as your debt increases. Put them on a diet; pay at least double the minimum every month on your balance. In a crunch? Who is not? Cut a little of the daily life of luxury and you will find extra money to your balance.

Bait and Switch
Credit card companies love to send promotional offers for cards boast little or no interest balance transfers for a set amount of time. Do not be so quick to discard. With a little skillful maneuvering, you can make them work to your advantage. If you have one or more cards with balances incurring a monthly interest rate high, consider moving those balances to this new rate. It can save you a ton of money. But beware, most of these cards can hit hard after the promotional period, with rates in May to be higher than what you currently pay. But if you think you can repay the balance within the promotion time, make the change.

Sacrifice your savings
Of course, this seems horrible, but draining your savings account is a way out of debt. Put it this way: the small amount of interest you get from your savings account is nothing compared to what you are paying by credit card interest. If only you could get a 18 percent return on your money! Pay that balance off in full, and he will win big in the long term.

Down and grovel
If times get really tough, consider seeking the help of your family. It is difficult to say no to a family member, and you'll probably get an interest rate quite reasonable on their part as well. All is not well too many times, you do not want to be known as the Freeloading relative. Be professional on request for a loan, even suggesting a written agreement to show how your family member you are serious about paying them back.

Drop the "B-Word" on creditors
If you still can not make your payments, contact your credit card and financial companies have a heart to heart with them. Tell them that your back against the wall financially and you have to declare bankruptcy unless you can develop a plan with them. Credit card companies least favorite word is bankruptcy. If you go in this direction, they are not paid. They have no other choice but to work with you. Ask at a lower interest rate and a slower repayment plan. If they do everything they can to help, remember, you yourself in this mess, you have yourself out.

Paid? But how
So you've begged and borrowed and some credit cards paid off. Now the challenge is to stay. First, get rid of surplus cards. You should only have one, two tops. Close the rest of these accounts as soon as you paid. You'll be less tempted to use them, and fewer cards are easier to identify. The next step: stop using credit cards all together. Leave them at home, cut them if you have, but do not use a credit card, unless it is an absolute emergency.

The Consumer Credit Act 1974 for write-off credit card debt

The Government introduced the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Act) into law, to provide people with the rights of consumers and protect them from lenders. The Act establishes strict guidelines for content and format of all credit cards, loans and other financial arrangements, which must be followed by all donors in this country. Cancel the debt under the Act on consumer credit.

Bill in the form of the Act provides that if a lender provides credit through a written agreement that does not fully comply with certain requirements of the law, it becomes a credit agreement unenforceable. Therefore, the borrower need not repay the balance in May and is entitled to a refund of payments and compensation.

The Law on consumer credit and other acts of government, describe in detail the exact content and format of a credit agreement should be used if a credit agreement is an agreement to become inapplicable. However, due to changing legislation and new legal presidents, lenders regularly change the content of credit agreements they use.

Prosecutors have now discovered that over the years, some of the many inexperienced people often used by lenders to write or modify their loan agreements have made mistakes by failing to include all content necessary, in the exact format required by Law Act consumer credit.

This area of law of consumer credit is relatively complex, but in simple terms, some areas which can make credit agreements are unenforceable credit agreements include:

NO PROVISION OF CONDITIONS REQUIRED
The lender did not include in the agreement of all the information they are required to provide, in violation of the Act on consumer credit.

INAPPROPRIATE EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT

The lender did not provide an agreement in a format that allows for correct execution, in violation of the Act.
Miscalculation of the APR or the total amount reimbursed
The lender did not use the correct method to calculate the interest rate or the total amount repayable, in violation of the Act.

NO PROVISION OF RELEVANT DOCUMENTS POST AGREEMENT
The lender is unable or refuses to provide copies of the original signed agreement and documentation, in violation of the Act.

NON-DISCLOSURE OF FEES OR COMMISSIONS
The lender did not disclose all commissions and fees they paid or received under the agreement, in violation of the Act.

MIS-SELLING PRODUCTS AUXILIARIES

The lender mistakenly included an accessory to the Credit Agreement, in breach of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

If you use Solicitors for your lender to write your credit agreement unenforceable, you do not need to know which aspects of the law of your lender has broken Solicitors will deal with these issues.

Credit Card Debt 101 - What is Rate Jacking?

If you do not know what rate jacking, brace yourself! At its simplest, the jacking is a credit card at the company (without justifiable reason) increases, (AKA Jack up) of your interest rate. It is not uncommon for a person, the rate of increase from 6.9 percent to 17.99 percent or more, failure in one swoop. Remember, we are talking about some people with good credit and credit. Such a couple, Jackson's, has received notices in the mail that the rates went up on both cards they held. It rose from 7.99 percent to 18.99 percent and the other went from 6.99 to 17.99 percent.

Needless to say, they were amazed! So much so, they have asked for legal aid. Unfortunately, after consultation with a number of lawyers and to be informed that they had no legal value, they have made adjustments to pay the new rates and to cancel both cards.

To the question: "If you are interested?" The answer is "Yes!" Our Constitution begins "We the people ..." In this case, we the people are browbeaten by the credit card companies. What they are doing - is it legal? Without doubt, yes! "Companies are very clear in the fine print in their face a debt of credit card information, they have the right to make any adjustments necessary to try them. With or without your consent.

Is jacking rate of ethics? A thousand times no! The best way to describe it is: the government sanctioned usury. Where can a person, group, company or just the band and double your interest rate and dare you not to pay? Uhm ... sounds like the mafia, for me, what do you think?

Consumer Credit Card Debt Relief Scams! [Part3]

Continued from part 2

A common problem that most consumers have debt settlement companies is that they are not fully talk about how the process works, instead they sugar coat things and preaching about the great benefits. I talked to countless amounts of people who have signed with companies and feel they would remain with their creditors, and never receive calls. So needless to say that it was a huge problem, once they have started.

Another major problem that many of these companies have the wrong people in the nature of savings, they will be on their debts. Some companies say they will save you 70% of what you owe. Now, while establishments in May than their low choosing not tell you how much you save after A) paid their taxes, and B) to repay creditors. Honest companies will tell you what the real savings will be. If you will save between 40-50% of what you need including their fees and payment of creditors that is quite sublime. Many of these companies and try to guarantee a certain amount of savings, if you hear the race for the hills. Nobody in this industry can guarantee a certain amount which is why it is called debt negotiation! They are negotiating for a settlement for as low as they can get.

Then there are companies that will pay you what you can get on their program. These are the worst because they are not really interested in your heart and bring you to fail and not succeed. You must understand the nature for savings I said above this process should not take more than three years, preferably two or less. And the bottom line is some people simply can not do so this time should be realistic and research into bankruptcy. What these consumers from unscrupulous debt relief companies do is put you on a program of 4 years or more and agrees in principle regardless of the payment you can afford. Knowing full well that you do not save much, and more than likely the failure of the program, they are concerned about the fee and that is it. A company with honest diligence review of your budget with you and make sure this is something you can handle and all you explain the advantages and disadvantages of doing so. And let you make the conscious decision of whether this consumption is the best method of debt relief for your situation.

Another great way to evaluate a company is to ensure they are registered with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and they are high ranking with very few complaints. And if there are any complaints to ensure they were resolved to the convenience of customers.

Consumer Credit Card Debt Relief Scams! [Part2]

Continue from part 1

Of course for some the start of this process will negatively affect their credit score. For those who are already late then the negative effect will not be different from what it already is. Unfortunately for some this will be the deterrent that allows you to go in resolving the debt to make a slave of his creditors for the next thirty years. The good news is that this effect does not last forever, in fact, once the colonies begin to come through your credit score will begin to bounce back up. The reason for more than 30% of your credit score based on MyFICO is based on the amount of debt you owe. But if you're stuck in a bad debt situation, even if you're up to date with your payments, your score is probably not all that good, first, troubleshooting and deeper in debt you should focus on the way out of debt quickly as possible, not on your ability to earn future debts.

Now, late on your debt, you must understand that these creditors are simply not going to roll over and play dead, they will call to try to recover the debt. For some, this is not a problem at all, for others it is, that is why I stated above, this procedure is not for everyone and the consumer must be in the proper spirit. From my years of helping people there is no rhyme or reason, many calls about how you get customers in the mine only receive calls, while others do almost every day. Something to keep in mind is that the company has the legal power to terminate the application, so that any company that tells you they are lying flat.

As you can see, as I already said there are pros and cons, but if you can accept the drawbacks, you'll be quickly on the path to financial freedom and will save much money in the process. Now, to get the meat of the matter and why I called this article card consumer credit debt relief scams.

We are here in America over the past two years have seen a decline in our economy negatively. Thus, many consumers to jeopardize the financial situation, which leaves many people in the boat caught in the debt of credit card. So, which of course has a larger market for the debt negotiation. Many fly by night companies have been popping up across the country, many of whom are former mortgage brokers who sold bad loans to people and helped to achieve in this position by sticking the first place. Now, I use the word scam, which may take a little sense, while yes there are companies that are out there on the scams and the dishes have no intention of doing any work for you at all, most of the time this is not the case. Instead many companies simply do not give people of all the facts on the negotiation of the debt, does not really put them on a plan for success, which I will explain in a minute.

Consumer Credit Card Debt Relief Scams! [Part1]

I was in debt relief credit card only for the industry for 10 years now and have been in the financial sector for over 20 years. The point of this article is to give people a head on debt relief companies also known as debt settlement or debt negotiation companies. I'll give you the pros and cons of this process and what to watch during the interrogation of a company to help you out of debt. Before going, I want you to know that it will be a long article, and by the end of my goal is to help you understand how to negotiate the debt settlement process work, if you do not know not already, and I like you to understand the tactics of companies that do not really your interest at heart.

First, I want to clarify that the process of debt negotiation as a means of debt relief for consumers is not for everyone, some are better suited to bankruptcy and other n ' not have the enthusiasm to go through this process.

I would like you to first understand what debt negotiation and how it works. The objective of a debt negotiator is to obtain a settlement of the debt for you on the amount of debt you owe your creditor. For example, you May a creditor $ 10,000 goal of the negotiator would be to have to pay back say $ 6000. The two main advantages of going through this process are to save money on what you currently owe your creditors and save time. By just paying the minimum payment, even with a modest interest rate you are looking at 30 years or more to become debt with good debt negotiation program you will be out of debt in a period of 2 -- 3 years or sooner depending on your current financial situation.

Now, we must understand these are great benefits, but as with anything in life there are drawbacks, nothing is perfect and this process of debt relief for consumers is no different. To begin your creditors will not be willing to negotiate a settlement of the debt at all if you're up to date with your monthly minimum payments. They prefer you to stay on their mats credit for the next thirty years and to pay more than four times the balance in interest alone. Therefore the delay on payments to creditors in a situation where they would be willing to settle. Once you stop paying them the ball game changes completely and they will be ready to talk in terms of negotiating a settlement.
