Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, more people than ever before are struggling to stay financially afloat. Our debt loads are higher than they've ever been, coming at a time when wages seem to be stagnating and the price of everything seems to keep going up. Being in debt can put immense pressure and stress on a family and for many, it can feel like there is no proverbial light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to getting out of debt. However, with The Smart & Easy Guide To Debt Relief: How to Live Debt Free with These Credit Score Repair Tips, Debt Repair Advice, Debt Settlement Management & Credit Counseling Help, we are provided a down-to-earth and realistic guide for how to regain control of our finances and begin to dig our way out of debt. It is entirely possible, with the right information and a good plan, to work down your debt and become debt free in a relatively short period of time. The guide discusses that the first step to becoming debt free is to take a holistic and clear assessment on all of your debts. This means creating a list of all your debts, who they are owed to and the terms of the debt such as interest rate and so on. You cannot come up with a plan of action until you know what all you are facing. This is also the time to obtain a credit report. You can obtain your credit report from the following agencies: Experian Equifax TransUnion Once you have your credit report, go through it thoroughly to ensure that everything on it is accurate. If something is inaccurate, you will need to contact the appropriate agency to get the issue fixed. After you have all your debts laid out, you need to get an idea of how much money you have and where it goes and use this to create a budget. The guide recommends creating a detailed spreadsheet of your spending to include even small expenses such as: Eating out budget Entertainment budget Magazines or other incidentals These should be tracked in addition to the big expenses like the mortgage and bills. When you begin to write all this down, you can already often see areas in which you can reduce or improve your spending habits. The savings that can be gleaned here can be put towards reducing and eliminating your debt. To create a budget for repaying your debts, you need to be realistic about what you can do. Take into account your earnings, vital expenses and any areas in which you could reduce expenses so as to put the savings towards debt repayment. You can use this figure to determine the amount of time it should feasibly take you to get out of debt. Once you have all this information, you can put a time-specific budget together that defines exactly how and when you are going to repay your debt. The guide recommends focusing on the debts with the least favorable terms (high interest rates, late payment fees, etc) first, as this will cost less money in the long run. For those with very serious debts or complicated debts, credit counseling our debt settlement may be a good option. The guide discusses what these options mean and who they are best suited for. Debt creates a huge strain and tons of stress on families and today, more than ever before, more and more families are finding themselves mired in debt they feel they have no hope of managing. With The Smart & Easy Guide To Debt Relief: How to Live Debt Free with These Credit Score Repair Tips, Debt Repair Advice, Debt Settlement Management & Credit Counseling Help, we are given the tools we need to take stock of our financial situation.

Book excerpt: ***SECOND EDITION***This book IS about negotiating forgiveness for your credit card debt by writing your creditor one simple negotiation letter and what to do if the creditor refuses to negotiate. If you owe money on your credit cards and cannot make payments anymore because of financial difficulty, this book is for you. I owed over $100,000 in credit card debt and the debt was hurting my life. I had trouble sleeping at night thinking how long my ever-increasing debt would continue to gnaw at me. Even if I could afford to make the minimum payments and do not borrow anymore, with interest of 25% APR, I will still owe a lot of money after many years of making only minimum payments. The interest alone would total close to $100,000. It took a year of trial and error, hours on the phone and writing meaningless letters most of which I copied from the internet before I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. None of the free advice and letters in the internet worked because the truth is I was not insolvent. I did not qualify for bankruptcy protection. I could have paid my credit card debt by liquidating my assets, selling my house, but that would have been devastating for my family. I kept on thinking of a way for my creditors to reduce my debt. I finally came up with The Letter that uniformly worked in negotiating down my debt. After mailing The Letter to my creditors, I received a reply from one of them offering to accept 50% of what I owed as full payment of my debt. I countered with 5%. We finally agreed on 10% of the original amount as full and final settlement of my balance. Considering I had not paid them for a year, I accumulated a little cash, so I was happy to grab the offer and pay the 10%. I had five credit cards with large balances and The Letter worked satisfactorily on four of the accounts. I settled the 4 accounts for between 5% and 15%. The last hold-out, surprisingly the account with the smallest balance at $13,000 chose to take me to arbitration. This negotiation-resistant creditor perceived that they might collect more money from me that way but they were wrong. I was surprised that not one of the 4 creditors even referred to the contents of The Letter or attempted to verify what I had written in the letter. The Letter aims to convey this message: "Take my final settlement offer or sue me. But if you sue me, you will lose". Ken Clark, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Out of Debt: "So many people are trying to get their balances reduced, you call and try to negotiate a balance, and it's 'Get in line.'" The card company's attitude may be, "Yeah, you and everybody else"". My Comment - That's because you called to negotiate instead of sending them The Letter shown at the end of this chapter. Trust me there aren't that many accounts in default as a percentage of the whole or our banking system would collapse. If you write The Letter shown at the end of this chapter, the creditor will put you at the front of the line.Brian Tawney, Director of Clear One Advantage: "Based on experience negotiating with creditors, debt settlement companies know what percentage of debt owed each creditor is likely to agree to. We use an algorithm that considers 140 different variables and tells us the accounts that have the highest opportunity to settle at any given time. We negotiate in bulk. We can negotiate thousands of cases and get a better settlement for everyone". Translation: Debt Settlement Agencies take only the easy cases that's why they "negotiate in bulk". If they have to spend more time on your case because you have wages a creditor can garnish and assets they can put a lien on, they will not take your case. I like my system better. You write The Letter shown at the end of this chapter which begs creditors to forgive 85% to 95% of your debt. The creditors can take it or leave it. If they take it, you win. If they leave it, they lose. Author's website: www.didosphere.com
Download or read book The Debt Relief Playbook written by Mark Wesbrooks and published by Wesbrooks Publishing Company, LLC. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to Eliminate All Debts, get Complete Debt Relief, and Remain Debt Free. After two decades of fighting creditors and debt collectors on behalf of thousands of clients, Board Certified Attorney Mark Wesbrooks has put together a powerful how-to guide to arm Americans with everything needed to oppose creditors, collectors, and their attorneys in their efforts to seek court judgments, seize assets, invade bank accounts, and garnish pay checks. Wesbrooks effectively explains legal protections, strategies, and procedures in easy to understand terms. Consumers have legal powers against aggressive creditors and debt collectors under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other federal and state laws. Asserting these legal rights can make creditors and their attorneys go away. Consumers are entitled to recover money damages against creditors and collectors for even one violation of these laws. Part of the Legal Playbooks™ Series, The Debt Relief Playbook is an invaluable resource in defending against creditors, debt collectors and their attorneys. The Debt Relief Playbook provides a roadmap to financial freedom, including sample letters, court documents, and legal references (The War Chest) that will help you stand up and fight to protect your family and preserve the American dream. The Debt Relief Playbook is part of the Legal Playbooks™ series of publications designed to arm consumers to stand up to creditors and prevail. It is a statistical fact that one out of three debt collection lawsuits have no merit of any kind! By timely raising legal claims and defenses creditors and their attorneys will go away in defeat. Federal laws include loan forgiveness regulations for student loans, legal defenses which remove all liability on civil debts, and remedies of court-ordered discharge of all debts through bankruptcy. Rights and remedies exist which will be lost if the consumer does not act timely in asserting proper legal claims and defenses. Proper planning and an early counter-attack can eliminate the problem. When your family is under attack, it is time to fight and prevail!
