Calling The Debt Collectors On Abusive Behavior

Thursday, October 29, 2009

People dread getting calls from bill collectors. And it’s not always because they can’t pay. It can be a degrading experience, especially with third-party collectors who are overly aggressive, even threatening.

A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for major reform to the law that governs how companies collect old debt from consumers.

The reform can’t come soon enough. Debt defaults are at the highest level in 18 years. About 6.6 percent of credit card holders were 30 days or more past due in the first quarter of 2009. In 2008, credit issuers had more than $23 billion in unsecured debt that was between 30 and 180 days delinquent.

Secret History of Credit Cards Revealed

You have been studying primarily bankruptcy for the last 20 years. Why bankruptcy?

Because bankruptcy is about financial death and financial rebirth. Bankruptcy is the great American story rewritten. We’re a nation of debtors. Why do you think people left Europe to come to the United States? They left because they were in debt. We like to describe it as, “Oh, it was about religious freedom.” No, it was about debt. They were looking for a way to escape their debts.

And so they founded this nation, and when they got into financial trouble, you know what they did? They moved west. And they moved west, and they moved west. And by the end of the 19th century, there was no place else to move, and creditors could pretty much reach their debtors … anywhere around the country, and that’s when we finally put our first national bankruptcy law into effect. And we’ve had one ever since. It’s the way that people say: “I got out there; I borrowed the money; I did my best; I used that money to start a small business or to keep myself going in my job. … You rolled the dice with me. … It didn’t work. You can have most of what I own, and that’s it, though. We’ll stop there. We’ll declare the default. You write off the part of the debt I can’t pay, I’ll take my human energy … and go right back into the game again.” That’s the whole premise behind bankruptcy. It’s about death and rebirth.

The Credit Card Fix!

It’s been years since I’ve used a credit card.  I’ve only used debit cards since I started my debt free campaign.  But it hasn’t been an easy task.  They make it so attractive.

• Use now and pay us later!
• Low or 0% interest!
• Rewards for vacations, airline tickets, etc.!
• Points toward FREE $$$!
• The Best Line…Use our money and save yours!

I must admit that when I get these offers in the mail they are tempting, but I just remember why I stopped using credit cards and just have fun ripping them up and throwing them in the trash.

My advice to you is to stay away from credit cards altogether.  You might be saying that you need a credit card for emergencies?  No you need to have an emergency fund of cash for emergencies.  Credit cards will make a trip to the mall with not enough cash into an emergency.

Some might say you need it to rent a car when you’re on vacation.  We’ll any rent-a-car company will rent you a car if you have your return tickets for you flight.

Credit Cards are nothing but trouble.  Currently 25% of credit card holders are behind 60 days or more on their credit card payments.  The average balance is about $8,000 to $10,000.  I just finished working with a client that had over $108,000 in credit/department store credit cards.

He didn’t get into the situation overnight, it started with 1 credit card.  Easy money he told me.  “They just kept sending me new credit card offers.!”  But now after the years have gone by he’s struggling to pay the minimum payments on his credit cards.

The good news is I was able to put a plan together for him that will have him totally debt free in 5 years including his mortgage.

6 More Banks Closed

Looks like more banks are getting into trouble as of December 4, 2009 we have 5 more banks that were taken over by the FDIC.  As for right now there’s no worries about your money if you have funds in these banks because the FDIC Insurance will fund your account.  At least for now!  How long can the FDIC bailout these banks?  In a recent USA Today article the director of the FDIC stated that they had funds to insure that banks would be able to pay depositors their money even if they failed.

But in a later article posted in the Washington Post…stated that the FDIC was given a larger credit line to insure that they wouldn’t run out of funds.  As of early August 2009 the FDIC stated that they had $60 Billion dollars in reserve for bank failures.  We’ll since that time there have been 61 bank failures!  That’s 61 freak’in banks that have miss-used the funds of their depositors and the funds of the Federal Reserve.  (Which is our money).

Here’s a list of bank that recently closed this past Friday Dec. 4, 2009.  They always make the takeovers on Friday to get the banks back online by Monday.
