Charles Krauthammer's win-win debt solution Washington Post

Britt Snider, McLean

●Charles Krauthammer set forth a compelling scenario for the “grand bargain” that eluded the Obama administration and Congress during the debt-ceiling negotiations. And his progression makes eminent sense. First, enact tax reform, then curtail inefficient deductions, laying the ground for the ideological “horse trading that is required for massive deficit reduction.” All well and good, except that there is a built-in assumption that our elected officials will behave rationally and are primarily motivated by doing what’s right for the country. 

Sadly, the way the debt-ceiling negotiations played out showed just the opposite — a tendency to stay with rigid positions, cowering in the face of tough choices that might rile one or the other side’s core supporters. Unless appointees to the congressional super-committee are immune to these pressures, the outcome is unlikely to be any better and the debt problem will be kicked down the road again.

What is the difference between chapter 7, 13 and using a debt solution company to pay off unsecured?

Which would be best if you have good income but not enough to meet monthly bills, utilities, unsecured debt & your house is upside down $188,000, due to adjustable arm and drop in value? Would you recommend using a paralegal, attorney or debt solution company (unsecured).


Hi,
I used "Credit Solution" to settle my debt and avoid bankruptcy.They managed to reduce my debt up to 58%.It's legitimate.I came across this company on NBC News Special Edition.Check it out here:

well

chapter 7 is "wipe out of your debt without paying monthly" but you will be listed for 7-10 years you will not able to open loan or credit 2 or 3 years after you filed the bankruptcy.

chapter 13 is that you agreed to pay small amount in straight 60 months row depends on how much you owe.

once you file a bankruptcy, during you are being listed between you filed the time to 7 or 10 years, you will not able to file a bankruptcy between this time.

I don't recommend debt solution company because they would charge you 15% for service fee

I personally recommend you to hire an attorney. in addition, you will be required to attend to credit counseling before you file a bankruptcy.

if you own a house while you still pay the mortgage, so debt collector would put a lien on your house as if you don't pay your credit or anything because debt collector may take the assets on the house you own... debt collector will tell you to surrender your house.

debt collector only interests your house and vehicle you own if you own many vehicles but debt collector will leave you alone if you have one vehicle once you file a bankruptcy. as your personal things as the computer, tv, fridge, anything, etc are not interested for debt collector


A debt collector will not take your house. sheesh.

If you are not able to pay your debts and are considering bankruptcy, you should never do a Chapter 13. Chapter 13 will still show as bankruptcy, and you'll still have to pay your debt. Even in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy your primary vehicle, your home, and your personal belongings won't be in jeopardy of being sold off to pay off unsecured creditors.

Call a bankruptcy attorney and get a free consultation. Usually they will tell you if you're a good candidate for bankruptcy and who that will affect your assets.

Good luck!


Bankruptcy should be your last step and before filing bankruptcy you can try consolidating your debts through a debt solution company as they are the experts in the field. The debt counselor will give you various plans on paying off your debts from which you have to choose the plan which suits your situation.

As bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for mare than 10 years and if the individual is listed as having filed for bankruptcy, it results in a 160-220 point deduction on their credit score and if a delinquent account is added to the individuals credit file, 70-120 points are subtracted. During the period of bankruptcy and after bankruptcy you would face difficulty in getting loan, purchasing and leasing and building your credit.

Here is the source of a debt consolidation company named http://ezconsolidation.comf for your reference

can i enroll in a debt solution program?

i don't have any credit cards, but i do have student loans and medical bills. can i enroll in a debt solution program?


You can in fact enroll in a debt solutions program, however I do have one question are your student loans Federal Student Loans? The reason I ask is because it concerns me that you would be considering combining your Federal Student Loans with your "other" debt.

Your Federal Student Loans hold with them a number of privileges that, if combined with your existing debt other than Federal Student Loans, will be lost.

The best course of action for you in particular would be to consolidate your Federal Student Loans through the FFELP Consolidation Program. In doing so, you would assure yourself the lowest possible interest rate on your Federal Student Loans as well as keep all of your Federal privileges carried with those loans intact.

In addition, you would also retain your Forbearance eligibility on your Federal Student Loans. This means that the Government would be willing to work with you if you are unable to make your payments for a total of 36 months by temporarily suspending your payments if need be. Good luck with everything, I hope this helps you out if only a little.

For more information on what specific privileges your Federal Student Loans hold as well as more information on the FFELP Consolidation Program itself please visit the source below.


Very possibly yes. However be carefull there are a lot of scams out there!

Is it better to keep paying off little by little or appealing to credit card debt prolem solution???

I owe 10 grands including all of my credit cards, I don't make a lot of money at this moment and think about appealing to credit card debt problem solution, should I do that or no???
I'm stressing out and agitated by it.


What is the difficulty in resorting to both the options? If you do not make any payment, the credit will go up with the penalties mounting up. The credit card is a menacing hound that will not leave you in peace even in your grave. I wonder who invented credit card. I wish all responsible governments abolish credit card system, for it is a drain on the economy of the individuals,.

What debt solution program have you seen the best results from?

Just wondering. Interested in helping out my mom shes about 15k in debt. thanks..


Have her check out www.GreenPath.com. They are a non-profit certified credit counseling agency.

We are in over our heads in credit card debt. Has anyone ever used debt solution companies and do they work?

Names of any reputable companies would be appreciated.


Go to this site: http://www.nfcc.org/ and find someone in your area. These are legit non-profit companies. They provide free credit counseling and have debt management programs available, if you qualify, for no fees.

Most of the companies you see advertising debt repair/counseling/consolidation will take fees up front and just trash your credit.


First thing you should do is call your credit card companies and ask for a lower rate. You'd be surprised how often they will lower the rate just for asking. It might help relieve some of the pressure.


DO NOT pay a dime for credit counseling. They will rip you off, and will give nothing in return. You can do it all yourself.

Call your creditors and work out a deal... some of websites referred by the first answerer are ok, but the thing to remember is DO NOT pay for any debt counseling service. That is money that should be spent on your debt, not on some service that you can do yourself....better.


IF you use government sanctioned debt solution companys


go to daveramsey.com


. Consult a legal advisor before opting for this crucial step. You can take other alternative steps. E.g. contacting the billers and informing them that you have to opt for financial aid. Many require you to fill out lengthy forms and they are meant to provide you free money to help you repay the bills. Then make minimum payment arrangements for the leftover balances, even if it means paying simply $10 per month for 30 years. Healthcare bills differ from the credit card debt, since they are not reported to the credit bureau.

I need a debt solution besides bankruptsy?

I am in so much debt I don't know how with my income I can get out of it, I need a miracle and advise, please help me.


You should really stay away from these debt solution companies that you see advertised everywhere. They don't do anything special that you can't do yourself. Here are a couple of ideas for you.
First, contact all of your creditors and ask if they would be willing to help you out with reduced rates or payment plans. They want your money, so you'll probably be surprised by how much they will be willing to help you out.
Second, create a budget. It is critical for you to fully understand where your money is going. You will likely find some areas where you can cut back or eliminate some expenses without have to sacrifice that much.
When it comes to credit cards, you absolutely have to pay more than the minimum payment to get anywhere.
These simple steps will go a long way to help get you back on your feet.
Good luck to you.

Can i find a debt solution company after charge-offs, etc?

Hello, I have alot of credit card debt that is past the stage of charge-offs. I would be willing to do some consolidation at the right price. Is it still possible at this stage? Should I find someone in my area?

Has anyone in the military used a debt solution program?

If so, did it affect your getting a secret or top secret clearance? I've heard that it will ruin my clearance in the future and if so, Im not risking my career.


Yes, I did....I declared it on when I updated my security clearance and my investigator said it showed responsibility etc on my part. I would recommend it to anyone...what will hold up your clearance is a bad credit history.

I have recently been subject to some CCJ's. How do I prevent other debt solution companies from writing to me?

The companies that are contacting me have taken my details from the public register collated by Registry Trust. Registry Trust state they are exempt from Data Protection Act. The letters I am receiving give full details of my CCJ's and my full name, address and postcode.


I assume the letters you are getting are in the form of junk mail trying to sell you a service. If this is the case the register with the Mailing Preference Service and all junk mail should stop being delivered.

http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr/

It will take a few weeks to work but it does stop virtually all UK sent junk mail.

What kinds of questions or concerns should I have when considering a credit debt solution company?

How Can a Debt Settlement Lawyers Do the job?

For a nice and doing work in the debt agreement industry for practically 10 years now and also have really extensive know-how regarding how it works.
