    I wish I found you years ago. You are 100% right. I fell into the debt consolidation trap. It promised to renegotiate to have my interest lowered so I could pay off the loans faster and improve my score faster. My credit was good before their "help" . Just as you said, it tanked to the 500's. Finally, years later, I'm back on track. Listen to this amazing woman, she's absolutely right and this should be taught in schools. I just started velocity banking and can already see a difference! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏾

    I totally agree with you. It will take 7 years until you can begin your new FICO score and it is a real pain for this to happen.

    Blessings to all 🙏. I’m dealing with quite an unusual situation. Lost my father a few years ago. My sister and I assist my mother with rent and expenses. I’ve recently learned my mother has approximately ten thousand or so dollars in credit card debt she failed to mention to my sister and I. My mother is 75 years old and disabled. This is not worth the stress for my mother. I’m thinking about telling her to file for bankruptcy. My mother is not in the greatest health. I don’t think at this point in life and under the circumstances she should be stressed out about this debt. She should be trying to enjoy whatever time the Good lord grants her with us. I’m at my wits end. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This channel has changed my life forever in a positive way. Financial literacy is not shown in schools I’m blessed to have come across this channel. 🙏 Thank you ! Stay blessed

    Yes. You will get taxed on the write off, as if it was income. Happened to me after a divorce 25 yrs ago.

    When credit card companies cancel debt, it is taxable income. But there are exceptions. If you were insolvent prior to the debt cancellation, you won’t have to pay taxes on the debt cancellation amount. Talk to your CPA that does your taxes.

    I paid on one of those for five years. I paid $100 per month for five years and now I’m released. I tried to get a credit card recently and it came back with a no as my credit score is still low

      Look into getting a secured credit card. It should be able to help build up your credit score.

    I made this mistake. My credit score went from 670 to 490 😢. Now that settlement companies have negotiated the accounts and are making the payments my score is starting to go back up. I can now qualify for a secured credit card and will double the pay monthly payments to get out of this faster.

    Yea all yall gotta do is let it charge off and call the companies tell them you're considering filing bankruptcy. They dont like bankruptcy and tell them you only have 25-30% of the actual debt

    I’m so glad that I saw this because I have been receiving letters in the mail for consolidation and I was contemplating on doing it but I looked at the reviews and the comments and a lot of them were saying that their credit cards wasn’t paid so I’m glad that you did bring this to light to let people know that it does not work. Do it yourself. Thank you and God bless you.😊😊😊😊

    using debt settlement companies can often create income tax problems. If the debt settlement company get the banks to write off money the IRS will consider that income the client has to pay taxes on. Be very wary of these companies.

    Was just warning a friend recently about avoiding debt settlement companies, and to start watching your videos leveraging their existing Credit Cards and using Velocity banking instead. Note they cannot get a HELOC because they do not own a house, and Personal Loan is not an option due to their current Credit score. really trying to help them out with your videos educating them!

    eeeeks, sooooooooooo glad I saw this, I've talked to two of these companies and ALMOST did it just 2 days ago. The guy is suppose to talk to me next week because I told him I had to research it more....well, looks like that isn't happening after this video. I asked the guy how they get paid, that they aren't doing this for free, he told me that they get paid by the CC company....

  • @marcusjamesOG
    @marcusjamesOG 8 місяців тому +1

    credit card companies NEVER negotiates the credit card balance on a client who is current on the account. The most they will do is waive a late fee or reduce the interest or enroll the client into their debt management or credit counseling program. a credit card holder can ONLY NEGOTIATE a collection account or late account if they know what to say. You are way out of your lane on these points.

      @deval3596 8 місяців тому

      regardless if it's a single, duplex or triplex the line of credit is the same you're not going to find a different loan or line. it's just a regular heloc, once it gets to a quadruplex then that is considered commercial and not residential by the banks.
