i love this idea but you would need actual business infrastructure to file paperwork with various credit agencies to ensure the debt is removed

I've got a standing offer to talk to any goons who have questions about bankruptcy but to date no one has taken me up on it. Fun fact: If you have few enough debts and can speak about bankruptcy with enough authority many debt collectors will accept a lower settlement offer to avoid getting nothing by driving you to bankruptcy.

medical bill collectors are loving insane and i'm not talking about agencies that buy medical debt. i was outpatient in a hospital for a test right after my deductible reset and got calls from them before the bill even arrived in the mail. garbage people.

I had a retina separation about six years back. Went to the hospital my employer at the time owned. Had to scan a credit card before they'd register me to see an ophthalmologist. very cool!

When you tell people not from the US that the hospitals have the same credit card readers as gas stations they think you're full of poo poo

the dumbest thing about bill collections is that people give actual names and numbers for references when you can just make that poo poo up

thre was one guy who leased a vehicle and never made a single payment and never picked up his phone. so i had to call his references. and i would just leave a voicemail saying "Hi I'm Cumshitter I'm with [company] you were listed as a reference if you know how to contact X please let us know, thank you and have a nice day."

i did this every other day for a few weeks and then they called me absolutely incensed and spent like 5 minutes bitching me otu and i was like "ok man if you dont me to call you thats cool it makes my job easier. its one less call i have to make."

like unless you're financing a private jet or something nobody checks references. just make poo poo up.

these was this amazing reddit post shared in the bitcoin thread years back about this anarcho-capitalist that traveled to Greece to meet some like-minded anarchists and take photos. he stumbled across a few local anarchists that were obviously weary of this guy but decided to chat with them.

all throughout the chat the ancap tried to share his point of view, like how it's important to have landlords, and the importance of the gold standard and no government regulations on corporations. this didn't go over well. he even brought out a black and yellow bow tie to show his comrades the ancap colors.

he cried about the non-aggression principle when they broke his camera and physically tossed him out lol

I remember this thread and it was so loving good

creditkarma just pulls from Experian (I think?) afaik. they do legit give you credit info from one of the agencies

but your score can vary by agency, even if they will normally be close

theyre also the best free option for filing your federal taxes because they take your info and send you credit card recommendations. best option for filing at the state level is your state franchise tax board. they will typically let you file for free provided you earn less than a set amount, and even then its very reasonable. for exmaple, in california its free to file if you make under $67K or something like that.

do not ever give turbotax a loving dime. their service is good, but the best way to do it is to file through creditkarma for federal and the state franchise board for state while filling it out on turbotax at the same time. turbotax has better explanations and then when you get to the end and they say "Good job, give us $35 and we'll submit your taxes!" you just close out

and then turbotax has the loving balls to ask for donations after you file like lol what the gently caress.

There's no incentive to not sell; once they sell the debt they don't care if it gets paid or not. They're selling the debt because they either lack the infrastructure to collect directly or don't believe they'll ever be able to get anything out of the debtor and are cutting their losses.

see if you qualify for a lower private loan. the IRS charges daily compounding interest

interest rates are low and going down further. if the economy crashes they will probably hit negative interest or some poo poo, there is no way the Fed is raising interest rates in a down economy
