Download or read book Debt Forgiveness Volume 2 When Creditors Decide to Sue Erase Your Credit Card Debts written by Arthur V. Prosper and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***SECOND EDITION***This book reveals various Consumer Protection Laws such as the Title and Section below that you can use to defend against junk debt collectors and creditors' claims for alleged credit card debts:15 U.S. Code § 1643(b) - Liability of holder of credit card(b) Burden of proof In any action by a card issuer to enforce liability for the use of a credit card, the burden of proof is upon the card issuer to show that the use was authorized or, if the use was unauthorized, then the burden of proof is upon the card issuer to show that the conditions of liability for the unauthorized use of a credit card, as set forth in subsection (a), have been met.******************We learned in Volume 1 that you can obtain credit card debt forgiveness if you write your creditors a simple, properly worded negotiation letter. This book, Volume 2 is about various measures you can take if your creditors refuse to cooperate and decide to sue instead. The methods and strategies in this book may be put to use in dealing with credit card debt as well as other unsecured consumer debts. It contains sample forms such as, Validation of Debt Letter, Cease and Desist, Answer and Affirmative Defenses to Complaint, Request for Production of Documents, Refusal of Arbitration, Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, sample letter to IRS disputing creditor's Form 1099-C (CODI-Cancellation of Debt Income). Volume 1 provided the reader the guidance for negotiating credit card debt down to 5% and gave the reader a better understanding of the collection process. This book provides the necessary tools in dealing with the negotiation-resistant creditor and how to use the system legally to obtain debt forgiveness. Although there are no guarantees, the methods and strategies discussed in this book worked for me. When I sent my creditors the Validation of Debt letter, my creditors were not able to validate my alleged debts. My creditors could not produce the documents requested in my Request for Production of Documents. The Court denied the Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment when I filed my Opposition. When I disputed the creditors' Forms 1099-C and requested the IRS to obtain verification of debt pursuant to US Code-Title 26 Section 6201(d), I never heard from the IRS again.******************If you convince the creditors that they still will not collect more than your FINAL OFFER even if they file a lawsuit; that they will only spend a lot of money in legal fees, they will realize that collecting 10% from you is probably the best they can hope to recover. That is the aim of the negotiation letter shown in Volume 1, to show your creditors that your FINAL OFFER is the most they can collect from you. But if your creditors are negotiation-resistant, this book Volume 2 is your magic bullet against them. If you decide NOT to purchase this book, you won't know what to do without an attorney if you get sued. You will be at the mercy of your creditors. ******************After my debts were forgiven, I was able to start my life anew, free from credit card debt. I was able to focus on taking care of my family. I kept 2 credit cards and continued to use them. They carried small credit lines, one for $7,000 and the other for $5,000. I pay the balances of the accounts as soon as I receive the monthly statements. My FICO scores initially took a dive to the high 500s but after only 7 years, I am back to the high 700s and even got to 800 a few months last year. I feel really blessed that I did not have to file for bankruptcy and that the path I took enabled me to write this book which I hope would help a lot of people who are in the same predicament as I was, to accomplish the same thing I've accomplished---a credit card debt free life.
Download or read book Stop Paying Your Credit Cards written by Arthur V. Prosper and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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

Book excerpt: My Misspent Youth is an incisive collection that marked the start of a new millennium and became a cult classic, from the editor of Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed and the author of The Unspeakable An essayist in the tradition of Joan Didion, Meghan Daum is one of the most celebrated nonfiction writers of her generation, widely recognized for her fresh, provocative approach with which she unearths the hidden fault lines in the American landscape. From her well remembered New Yorker essays about the financial demands of big-city ambition and the ethereal, strangely old-fashioned allure of cyber-relationships to her dazzlingly hilarious riff in Harper's about musical passions that give way to middle-brow paraphernalia, Daum delves into the center of things while closely examining the detritus that spills out along the way. With precision and well-balanced irony, Daum implicates herself as readily as she does the targets that fascinate and horrify her.
Download or read book Bad Paper written by Jake Halpern and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Trade Commission receives more complaints about rogue debt collecting than about any activity besides identity theft. Dramatically and entertainingly, Bad Paper reveals why. It tells the story of Aaron Siegel, a former banking executive, and Brandon Wilson, a former armed robber, who become partners and go in quest of "paper"—the uncollected debts that are sold off by banks for pennies on the dollar. As Aaron and Brandon learn, the world of consumer debt collection is an unregulated shadowland where operators often make unwarranted threats and even collect debts that are not theirs. Introducing an unforgettable cast of strivers and rogues, Jake Halpern chronicles their lives as they manage high-pressure call centers, hunt for paper in Las Vegas casinos, and meet in parked cars to sell the social security numbers and account information of unsuspecting consumers. He also tracks a "package" of debt that is stolen by unscrupulous collectors, leading to a dramatic showdown with guns in a Buffalo corner store. Along the way, he reveals the human cost of a system that compounds the troubles of hardworking Americans and permits banks to ignore their former customers. The result is a vital exposé that is also a bravura feat of storytelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006.
