What about my credit score? |
|
When you are trying to get out of debt, your credit score is not your biggest concern – getting out of debt as quickly and inexpensively as possible are the important considerations. Once you get behind on your credit card payments, or are close to your credit limits, your score will start to suffer anyway. Any debt resolution option you use, other than paying off your debt in full and on time, will pull your credit score down. The idea is to resolve the debt quickly and negotiate a “Paid as Agreed” report to the credit bureaus which will improve your scores the quickest.
Of all the debt resolution options, bankruptcy will have a negative effect on your credit score for the longest period of time – up to ten years. Debt settlement and credit counseling will also show up for many years and point out to future creditors that your were unable to manage and pay off your debts. That is where the benefit of a program that will allow you to negotiate a “Paid as Agreed” report is the most beneficial. This appears to creditors that you paid your bills in full and on time. This is an important distinction that is not provided for in any option except asset protection and debt resolution.
If you credit score is still good but you are struggling to keep up, consider the cost of keeping a high credit score, In the long run you will usually be better off to take a temporary hit to your score and get out of debt using the most aggressive means possible. |

Will I receive favorable Settlements? |
|
Unlike debt settlement, that tries to negotiate a payoff for some amount less than the original debt with the original creditor, debt resolution forces accounts into collection. Since the original creditors are blocked from taking the usual legal recourse to collect, they will sell off the debt to a collection agency as part of a large block of other delinquent debts. According to the Nilson Report, a newsletter that monitors the credit industry, last year debt buyers paid an average of 5.4 cents for every dollar of unpaid debt they bought. Debt collectors don’t have to collect on every debt in order to make a significant profit.
Armed with this knowledge, if you had a system that would thwart any attempt by a creditor to take your money, you would be in a much stronger position to negotiate a settlement that would be far less than using any other method of debt resolution. Basically, if they can’t take your money, they have to take what you are willing to give them. Since you would know that when you are dealing with a collection agency, and not the primary creditor, that they only have about five cents on the dollar into your account you can use that to your advantage.
Offering a collection agency ten cents on the dollar actually gives them an exit strategy by getting something for their trouble, and in reality they have still doubled their investment in your account! Any prudent business would rather get something, even if it is far less than they had anticipated, than nothing at all. Of course this type of settlement can only come when you have sufficient leverage to force them to take such a settlement offer. It is the asset protection part of the program that provides this leverage and it must be done right to pass scrutiny.

What debts do you primarily cover with this service? |
|
The negotiating or debt help strategies we utilize work well for a variety of debts, but the hands-down winner is credit card debt. The steepest discounts and greatest success can be obtained with credit card accounts. Department store charge cards, financing contacts, promissory notes, business debts and miscellaneous bills can also be negotiated, but with less predictable results and may result in litigation. Medical bills are often negotiable, depending on the background of the case, usually with good results. Student loans cannot be negotiated (since these are Federal loans, Uncle Sam can dip into your tax refund to collect the balance). However, we can protect you from wage garnishment and from having your assets and bank accounts levied. Mortgages can be rescued from foreclosure with a variety of techniques. Depending on what happens, you may still be on the hook for full value unless you do a short sale or have the foreclosure deficiency negotiated.
We are especially effective in fighting and beating collection agencies, junk debt buyers, ect. Furthermore, these 3rd party debt collectors are NO match for our program. Therefore, it is highly likely that they will either deem your debt uncollectable or settle for pennies on the dollar.

What happens when the account is assigned to a 3rd party debt collector? |
|
After 180 days, banking regulations require certain debts to be charged off, or written off, but banks can and do charge off sooner. Why? Ask Uncle Sam. In our program we push the banks to charge off or settle as quickly as we possibly can. We find that the banks will want to engage a 3rd party debt collector quickly as well, as this allows the bank to sell the debt and get our strategies and disputes out of their way.
A charge off is actually good news for you. When debts become 3rd party debts, you now have the debtors' best friend - the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. As far as our process is concerned we will start the validation process on the debt as soon as possible as it is much easier to deal with these kinds of debts. In essences we can help you, so that if you decide to not pay a 3rd party bill collector the chance of you being sued is very slim if any. Also, once you're in our program, you may decide to wait until the Statutes of Limitations runs out and NEVER pay back the debt. To find out the details of this process give us a call. |

Will I be protected against wage garnishments? |
|
YES. Using the non-payment strategies of Plan B, the employee can drastically reduce his total debt while positioning himself to be immune to garnishment even if he is subject to a judgment lien. Using the pro-active approach or financial strategies of Plan B, the employee can remove the risk of creditor paycheck garnishments altogether.Why subject yourself to this risk when you can avoid it entirely by being in our program? |
|
What should I do with my next 18 credit card payments? |
|
Save your money to position yourself to eliminate your debts for pennies on the dollar. |
|
Can you stop debt collectors from calling and harrassing me? |
|
Yes, we can stop any third party debt collector from contacting you by writing the collector a letter telling them to stop. Once the collector receives the letter, they may not contact you again except to say there will be no further contact or to notify you that the debt collector or the creditor intends to take some specific action. Please note, however, that sending such a letter to a collector does not make the debt go away. You could still be sued by the debt collector or your original creditor. Get started in the Freedom From Creditor Program and eliminate creditors threatening and harassing tactics. |
|
Who is a debt collector under the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act? |
|
A debt collector is any person who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes attorneys who collect debts on a regular basis. |
|
What happens when I have been continually missing credit card payments? |
|
When you begin missing credit card payments and are late paying your creditors, creditors will report negative items to the major credit reporting agencies and this will result in what is called the "universal default". The universal default clause allows for all of your creditors to increase the interest rate they are charging you on your credit cards to as much as 40%. Creditors may not jump your interest rate that high at first, but continuing to be late on any one payment will alert them to rise the annual percentage rate because you are a high risk for default. All creditors monitor your credit file usually on a monthly basis, and when they see the negative activity they will cut your credit line. Once your available credit lines have been dropped, you could be forced to exceed your credit limits therefore giving the credit card companies a reason to tack on both late fees and all sorts of over the limit charges which will start to add up quickly. |
|
A collection agency is threatening me with a garnishment. Can a collection agency garnish my wages? |
|
Yes , collection agencies can garnish your wages. Protect yourself with the Plan B system and Asset Guard program. Make sure to sign up for the Privacy Protector so that Plan B can help protect you from collection agencies and other harassing creditors contacting you at your home. |
|
How long does the program take to complete? |
|
We recommend staying in the program for at least a year. However, if you want to solve your debt problems earlier that is up to you, as you will have full control of the process and many chances to settle for less than your beginning balance owed. Our clients have averaged 18 months in the program before they found it was a sufficient amount of time to be in a position to resolve the debts for pennies on the dollar. |
|
Why do I keep overspending on my credit cards? |
|
Because credit cards companies are very seductive and keep sending you offers in the mail to sign up for yet another credit card. Also, the interest rates can be as high as 40% annually, no one can consistently keep up on that kind of interest. The best way we find to avoid this trap is to start using debit cards and only spend money that you have available in your checking account. |
|
Will this program help me avoid bankruptcy? |
|
YES. The majority of people do not understand bankruptcy. Because of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005, bankruptcy is no longer a sure fire way to get a clean slate or a fresh start. One can not simply walk away from their debts in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy like in times past, because Chapter 7 is almost impossible to qualify for now. If you are desolate, jobless, have no assets and have no hopes of ever finding a job as you sleep at a homeless shelter, you may qualify for bankruptcy; but don't count on it. Otherwise the courts will force you into a Chapter 13 and you will be required to pay up to 75% of your debts while a court officer is breathing down your neck and directing your job income until you have completed the full payment plan to your creditors. Plan B feels that bankruptcy is the worst possible option for you. Although if you ask an attorney, especially a bankruptcy attorney, they will tell you that it is your only choice because that is how attorneys make their money.
Also in the Plan B Program you will find that you are judgment proof, in which case you do not need to file for bankruptcy to find protection for your property and wages. "judgment proof" means you have so little money, income or property that you would be unable to pay a court judgment entered against you. Plan B will help you put up so many barriers that most unsecured or secured creditors will see that there is no point to go after you in court and likewise there will be less reason for you to declare bankruptcy. (Ask a representative about why the PlanB Asset Guard is so powerful.)
Keep in mind however, that if you don't keep up with your secured collateralized payments, creditors will take those to help satisfy the debt. For example, creditors can foreclose on your home, repossess your car, and continue there collection efforts. (Plan B will help you take care of the deficiencies on these collateralized loans. Ask a representative how today) |

How is this different from debt consolidation? |
|
In debt consolidation you move unsecured debt into secured debt. For example, moving unsecured debt into a home equity loan in the form of a second mortgage on your home. While a lower interest rate may seem appealing, in the long run you will pay out much more with consolidation than with any other program. The only way to judge it is to actually do the math. Also, if you cannot afford to pay the monthly payment, why would one even want to consider consolidation? With the changes in the real estate market for second mortgages, home equity lines of credit and refinance loans in general, the consolidator would be hard pressed to find a loan. Second mortgages have become very difficult to obtain and debt consolidation has become a much less favorable option. |
|
Is this process debt elimination? |
|
No, this is a misnomer. The only way to formally eliminate debt is to pay it off. Within this process you will learn to settle your debts for pennies on the dollar, properly eliminating the debt by paying it off, but on your terms. It is not a program designed to make debts "disappear." This is a program that will allow you to fend off your creditor until you decide to pay on your terms and at your price. |
