Tips For Curing Debt Problems
It may seem like you are owned by your debts, almost as if your credit card debt owns you. However, this simply isn’t true. There are some very serious ways to get out from under your credit card debt and other forms of unsecured debt. They involve sacrifice and discipline, but if you’re determined, you can overcome your debts and live a financially secure life, free from collection agency phone calls.
Here are some simple tips you can follow that will help you get free from your debt problems, and have a financially secure future.
1. Cut up your credit cards. You can keep some for emergencies, but odds are if you have thousands of dollars in credit card debt, you have a problem using them responsibly. Don’t feel ashamed about this, just acknowledge that you need to put them away, at least for a couple of years, and focus on living within your means instead of trying to “keep up with the joneses.” You may even want to give your emergency card to a good friend or family member, someone you know you can trust, so that you have to go through someone in order to get that card back.
2. Cancel all your credit lines. If you have a personal loan or another line of financing, you’re probably paying seriously interest as well as abusing this line of credit. You need to take a step back, work to pay off your debt and once you can do this your improved credit score will allow you to get a better interest rate on any future loans or lines of credit.
3. Request lower interest rates on debt. Contacting your credit cards, your personal loan lenders and other lines of credit to renegotiate your interest rates could save you a bundle.
4. Transfer as much debt as possible to the credit card that has the lowest interest rate. This may save you thousands of dollars over the next few years and work as a mild form of debt consolidation.
5. Use cash. After going through your debt and assessing your debt problems, it’s time to begin using cash for all of your purchases. This means living within your means, ignoring any credit cards in your wallet and sacrificing in order to cure your debt problems.
6. Commit to paying off your debts in whatever way works. Debt settlement companies are a great resource for the many ways in which you can pay off debt. You may choose to pay your debts off one at a time, save up money and settle or some other option. At the very least, you should contact a qualified debt settlement company to get some feedback as to your options.
7. Contact a quality debt settlement company. If you’re buried under unsecured debt such as credit cards, medical bills and personal loans, you need a quality debt settlement company to help you with your debt problems. Debt settlement companies have helped millions of people deal with their debt problems by helping them negotiate their credit card debts. Debt settlement companies can help you pay off your debts quicker and for less than you actually owe.

I would seek a financial professional. I met with a Primerica representative and they help me get out of debt. There is no fee to see them and they gave me a free financial needs analysis. Since they don't charge clients anything, they do ask for referrals, which I had no problem with.

I wouldn't use any of them they are rip off artists. They take your money and do nothing, been there done that. Go to Consumer Counseling, in every city or county, it is free, non profit and they don't charge but they will contact all the places you owe money to and get you with lower payments and great ways of getting out of debt !! They are well known by all companies and acknowledge Consumer Credit Counseling as serious and good to work with .

Of utmost importance is his proposal for the Digital Coin system at digitalcoin(_dot_)info
It’s a solution to the current monetary system and strikes directly at its root — its Achilles heel. It puts the control and issuance of money in the people’s hands. No usury/interest is but one of it’s many benefits. Watch the two short videos at the above Web site. Replace the (_dot_) with a . “period”

Most of the debt repair/consolation/settlement companies want their fees up front and leave you credit trashed.
Check nfcc.org for listings legit non-profit credit counseling services. They can help you set up a budget and work out clearing up your debt.
You can tackle your debt yourself by putting every extra penny on the highest interest rate debt, while making minimum payments on the rest. When the highest is paid, move to the next, till they are all paid off.
It will take 2 or 3 years but if you work at it, you'll be out of debt with a good payment history.

I don’t think the government should be deciding which of its citizens gets loans either. Its not fair to allow one man to start a factory while telling another man he is not fit for the job. This leads to corruption.
I don’t see why the government should finance either farmer OR why a fractional reserve system should be created to lend out what doesn’t exist.
The farmers should either pool their money, get investors, or simply fail. We don’t need to expand faster than we can invest…

“An old saying in the UK – …” that makes sense. The statement before that doesn’t. How can you be the master if you are in debt. Unless (logically) you default and there is no asset(s) that the lender can seize from U. Other than that. I don’t believe in loaning $ w/o an asset to back it up.

If you are in the US the executors have a time limit to execute the will. I would speak with someone at the Register of Wills in the county where the will is registered. I was an executor once in Maryland I had one year to fulfill the will but I did have the option to petition the court for a 6 month extension.
Wikipedia Probate excerpt:
"After opening the probate case with the court, the personal representative inventories and collects the decedent's property. Next, he pays any debts and taxes. Finally, he distributes the remaining property to the beneficiaries, either as instructed in the will, or under the intestacy laws of the state.
A party may challenge the probate, either by petitioning the personal representative or the court. If the claim is rejected, the claimant may file a lawsuit to prove the claim. Such challenge may force the court to scrutinize the probate in further detail.
The personal representative must understand and abide by the fiduciary duties, such as a duty to keep money in interest bearing account and to treat all beneficiaries equally. Not complying with the fiduciary duties may allow interested persons to petition for the removal of the personal representative and hold the personal representative liable for any harm to the estate".

In the present system, it should. Why should private enterprise be the ones to allow the creation of money? Whether you like it or not, they can dictate which industries get funding and which don’t. Why do you think green technologies are short on funds while oil companies aren’t? It’s because banks can decide which industries get the money and which don’t..
As much as a despise government (I’m anarcho-communist BTW), this is the only choice in the present system. We’ve seen what happens when

Debt is not budgeted. Debt service is budgeted. For example, anticipated interest payments, amortization of bond principle, fees, etc. Good question! Should be included in the budget list.
Think tax rates will need to rise? I think so!

You are always repsonibile, there have even been cases where peoples social security checks were partially taken until their old student loans were repaid. of course this is extreme but possible.

Do not talk with debt collectors over the phone. No mather how smart you think you are, they are trained to get the best of you.
Instead send them a letter stating that the cannot contact you by phone anymore. Any contact has to be by US mail to an address that you specify. Send letter by certified mail and keep copies for your records.
Never reveal any personal information to a debt collector. They will use it against you. Don't appear desperate, just play the waiting game with them. Remember, that you have the power, you have the money, and they are the ones who want to get their hands on it.
If they come up with a settlement that seems fair to you, include a "pay for delete" agreement. Don't pay them a dime before they agree to delete all derogatory information they have placed in your credit files. It is very important that you get the agreement in writing first before you pay.
Good luck.

private enterprises such as the FED or credit based money creation in a fractional reserve system are allowed control in the creation of our money..
