No but I've always wondered how easy it would be to set up an LLC to buy your own debt at pennies on the dollar some years after it's deemed all but uncollectable, and then report it as paid.

After reading an article about debt collectors, I have to wonder how those companies are about paying bills because they of all people would know how to collect/avoid being collected on.

He's splitting Netflix and Hulu, so that plus Amazon Prime should be about... $30 a month? If that?

Where is the other $110ish coming from? Definitely not cable, given that he's living in a van.

Want to see the look on the delivery guy’s face when he interrupts homeless man washing his socks in the van.

I'm guessing that somebody who delivers packages to random strangers all day for a living sees all kinds of crazy poo poo related to people's living situations, would barely even bat an eyelash at delivering something to a homeless person in a car.

BWM: Signing a cognovit note (AKA confession of judgment) in order to get a loan.

A confession of judgment is a legal document that effectively says "I give up my right to respond or contest to any civil suits relating to this debt." With it, a creditor can get an immediate verdict for a civil suit without having to follow due process. It's an arbitration agreement where borrower loses before the arbitration begins.

Living in a van is something you do for one of two reasons

1. You have lost most of your worldly possessions and are one tow truck away from homelessness
2. People with some spare cash, aged 22 to 29, want to be More Interesting

Remember the BFC Goon who wanted to live in a houseboat to save money?

That's why most states do not accept cognovit notes. PA and NJ courts will accept them, but they usually are not friendly towards creditors with cognovit notes. NY courts, however, just don't give a gently caress.

As another poster mentioned, they're not accepted in many jurisdictions, but NY doesn't give a gently caress. In general, small businesses can get really hosed with unfair contractual terms, since they're often understood by the courts to be savvy enough to avoid predatory deals (because they're not consumers). Of course this doesn't account for the differences in bargaining power that exist even among businesses, and we end with this.

Car loan 72 months and 7.29%APR

quote:

Hello reddit ! Age:23 M I’m in the process of getting a 2019 wrx premium , I’m putting down 7k and the total of the car is 31,000. My credit score is 750 , they told me they can do 72 months for 450$ with apr of 7.29% No other bank would approve me except the dealership

Is this worth it ? Or am I losing way too much money , or would it not matter that much

Also I don’t have anyone to co sign and at first they were going to give me 18% apr but they “talked” to the financial manager and got it down to 7.29% no more no less

Thanks

US national debt is a tricky subject because our unique position in the world coupled with low interest rates means it’s not a problem like say, Italy with its recent deficit talk.

Rising interest rates are a problem along with the fact we’re running trillion dollar deficits while in our second longest economic expansion ever. At this stage during our longest economic expansion ever we were looking at hundreds of billons in tax surpluses. The next recession is going to be absolutely brutal on our balance sheets.

And the math is pretty simple. We’re going to have to raise taxes.

Eh US debt isn't like household debt because we print the world's reserve currency.

Yes, but how much? Who's taxes? Will it even help? How much spending needs cutting as well? Some analysts say that it's not even possible to repay anymore. Trying to find good analyses but at least YouTube is just a svamp filled with more or less hidden political agendas.

They can tax 99% of the country into the ground or force the 1% to limit themselves to 3, possibly even 2, gold plated back scratchers.

Yes, an $8500 10 year old BMW is a great idea kid.
