SBA Loan Default Why Is My Banker So Mean To Me

When dealing with an SBA loan workout, as in life, there is a chance that you might come across one or more individuals who have completely abandoned that whole thing about treating others as you'd like to be treated (I'm sure their mothers would NOT approve!). On more than one occasion, I've been engaged to deal with cranky bankers who seem bent on giving my client a hard time. Based on my time as a banker, and my time as a consultant, I've accumulated a few theories about why some bankers just can't seem to play nice in the sandbox. Here are the most common:


1) The borrower did something to make them mad.


In some cases, the borrower did something they were not supposed to do, either by accident or on purpose. Did you sell your business assets without telling the bank? Did you repeatedly break promises to send payments or paperwork? Did you go on the offensive and put them in a position to have to bare their teeth? Did you whine about how banks got bailouts and you are being treated like dirt?


No matter what you did, if you did something to make them mad, it's quite possible that they took it personally (most will, although they'll never admit to it) and are emotionally invested in your file (in a bad way). Once they are against you, it only makes the fight that much harder. They'll scrutinize your information, probing for a reason to reject your offer.


The lesson here, of course, is try not to make your banker mad. Debt Settlement 101 calls for you to be polite and cooperative, so as to avoid the dreaded Cranky Banker.


2) They are new at their job.


At some point in our lives, we have all been "the new guy" (or gal). I always hated being the new guy because it meant that I'd often be asked questions by borrowers that I didn't know the answer to but was supposed to. What is a reasonable settlement offer? Do I have to pay interest on the settlement? How long of a period can I make payments over?


I never had an ego that prevented me from saying "I'm not sure. I'll check and get back to you." Unfortunately, not everyone is like that. Some bankers do have egos, and rather than admit that they are not sure about their own institutions philosophies and regulations, they'll try to cover the fact that they are as clueless as you are by stonewalling you. They won't respond to emails or voicemails, and when you can get them on the phone, they are evasive and leave you feeling frustrated because you are getting no direction or feedback about the settlement or modification process that you are attempting to navigate.


3) They are incompetent.


A close cousin to the "new guy" is the incompetent guy. I find the incompetent guy the hardest to deal with because unlike the new guy, the incompetent guy will never learn and will ruin lives until management has the good sense to fire him. Incompetent guy is hard to deal with because he is not knowledgeable, unresponsive and uncooperative. I worked with a guy like this, and got to hear about how poorly he treated people after he was fired and I took over his accounts. He wasn't a mean spirited person, he just honestly was overwhelmed by the job, and on certain days he would take it out on his customers who were just trying to get their situation rectified


4) They got picked on as a child.


This person is just mean in general, and it's their mission to spread their misery to as many folks as possible. They almost get joy out of tormenting you. They love to threaten to take your home, shut your business down, and sue you despite the fact that you are dealing in good faith. I used to have to foreclose on people, but there is a tactful way to explain the bank's position without demeaning or threatening a person. Some bankers enjoy being in a position of power, and will use their power to make your life unnecessarily uncomfortable.


For the record, I have worked with many more nice bankers than mean bankers, and I'm thankful for that. Most bankers I deal with are knowledgeable and responsive, and understand that my clients are not bad people, but rather they are just caught in a difficult financial situation. But I have to say, I always cringe when I realize that I'm dealing with the dreaded Cranky Banker.

Is Bankruptcy Really A Way Out

Bankruptcy used to be the simplest way out of a tough situation. No matter whom it was and how much debt they had, if the judge approved a bankruptcy, the consumer would be free of all of their obligations to repay any debts. Of course, this wouldn't come completely free - liquidating all properties and assets with a seven year blemish on the credit report. But to get rid of a debt ranging from $50,000 to multi-millions, most consumers wouldn't think twice.


That is, until they changed the requirements.


Today, there are two types of bankruptcies for the average consumers. Chapter 7, the one we all know and all, and Chapter 13. This new bankruptcy was enforced during the time our recession was at its worst (about two years ago) because of all the bankruptcy applications across the nation. Our judges were completely swarmed in bankruptcy pleads while banks were losing too much money due to the amount of foreclosures and debt pardons they were issuing.


The law changed the standard of bankruptcy and made Chapter 13 the default one. Today, to be approved for Chapter 7, consumers must take a means test which compares their family's income to the median income in their state for a family of the same size. Then, there's a calculation of disposable income and unsecured debts to see if their creditors can be repaid at all. If not, Chapter 7 would be the appropriate solution. But if consumers do have the necessary means, then they will get a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. They will not be forced to liquidize their assets, but they will be making a structured repayment plan according to how the court arranges it. This type of bankruptcy will also leave a seven year blemish on the credit report and will make applying for credit virtually impossible.


Although bankruptcy used to actually pardon consumers and help them get out of debt, it seems as though it is now just another credit counseling or debt management program. And not only does it cost money to hire a bankruptcy attorney (which doesn't guarantee approval by the judge), but the damage to your credit report is many times worse than what you would get from credit counseling programs.


Debt negotiation or debt settlement programs do not show on consumer's credit reports and are able to relieve consumers within one to three years while paying only fractions of their total debts. This gives consumers another few years to rebuild their credit scores and get back on their feet and never have to worry about long term damage to their credit worthiness.

Get Out of Debt Don't Cut Up Your Credit Cards

You heard me right... Don't cut up that credit card if you want to get out of debt. I know that a lot of experts suggest that you cut up and throw away your credit cards as a deterrent to using them and as a manifestation of your desire to get out of debt, but don't you do it. There is nothing that the credit card companies would like more than for you to cut up your credit cards before you pay them off.


The problem is that most people wait until they have maxed out their cards before they decide they need to get out of debt. Then they cut up their cards and say they will never use than again. Well the fact is that the cards are maxed out and they really can't use them unless they up their maximum or pay down the card. Banks absolutely love people who have maxed out their cards and pay the minimum payment for the life of the card. This maximizes the return on the banks investment.


Your Debt Doesn't Disappear With The Card


The fact is, cutting up your card doesn't mean the debt goes away. A few years ago I remember looking at a bill from a major department store that I hadn't shopped at for more than a decade and I remember destroying my card right after using it, thinking what a mistake that was. Looking at the bill, I was surprised when I saw that the balance was still in the hundreds of dollars. Whats worse is I am sure that I had never put more than a couple of hundred dollars on the card in the first place. I had paid the minimum payment for more than 10 years and literally had paid nothing toward my debt.I had simply made an automatic payment for the minimum and forgot about it.


Is Auto Pay Such A Good Idea


Ok so now I am taking on another sacred cow, Auto payment. For your convenience, most banks now provide you the ability to set and forget payments to your creditors. This is a great idea... right? Well, that depends. Set and forget is great when you leverage it to get out of debt, but if you pay just the minimum it is keeping you in debt and the only benefit is to avoid late fees and make sure the banks get their money on time. Remember, forgetting about your debts works only in the bank's favor.


Don't Forget


The only way to get out of debt is to be mindful of it. If you ignore it you will, at best, find it hasn't changed after decades of paying on it. At worst, you will find your debt has increased beyond anything you could have imagined.


Keep the Card


Don't play into the bank's hands by cutting up your cards. Instead, try punching a hole in it and nailing it to your wall in a prominent place where you can see it every day. This way it can remind you that you are still in debt. The idea is to use it to motivate yourself to pay it off. When you have paid off the card, then you can celebrate and destroy it as a gift to yourself.

Debt Settlement Programs Have Proven To Be The Best Debt Relief

All forms of debt relief have been known to lower a consumer's credit score. But consumers have mistakenly blamed debt settlement to drastically lower their rating. They did so because of the way debt settlement programs work. Consumers save up money throughout the duration of the program and arbitrators from the debt settlement companies negotiate with creditors once there is enough money to settle for a maximum of 55% of the total debt. With this method the company eliminates each debt one by one until all of the debts are settled. The reason a debt settlement program is much more effective than debt consolidation and credit counseling and should not even be compared to bankruptcy is because comparatively its effect on a consumer's overall credit worthiness is actually very beneficial when the following factors are considered:




  • The program length

  • The total amount of money paid

  • Its residue on the credit report after the program has been completed.


To cover the first point, the average length of debt settlement programs is about 30 months (two and a half years). The average time debt consolidation and credit counseling programs last is five years. This means that after two and half years consumers have another two and a half years to rebuild their credit scores while a stress-free and debt-free life. Regarding a financial outlook, with debt settlement consumers pay an average of 55% of their debts. With debt consolidation and credit counseling, consumers pay 100% of their debt plus an average of a 5-10% interest rate for five years. So, overall they pay in the range of 125-145% of their debt.


Lastly, debt settlement does cause consumers to go delinquent on their debts for the reason of obtaining a low settlement from their creditors, which in turn causes a decrease in the credit score. After they settle, the creditor will report the debt as "settled" or "paid as agreed". In a debt consolidation and credit counseling program the credit bureaus report that consumers are "currently enrolled in a debt management company" throughout the duration of the program and keep reporting this for another seven years. This raises a major red flag for any creditors that you will apply for lines of credit with in the future - including applications for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and personal loans.


Regardless of the type of debt relief option you choose to enroll in, always make sure the company is legitimate and has a strong track record. One of the best ways to verify its credibility is by visiting the Better Business Bureau to view their rating of the company and to see the company's history.

Beware of Debt Collection Attorney Tactics

No one wants to be on the receiving end of a debt collection call, and nobody likes receiving past due notices in the mail. That's why, all too often, consumers who get behind in their bills also stop answering the phone and opening the mail. Unfortunately, that can lead to dire consequences - especially when debt collection attorneys enter the picture.


You see, the debt collection industry is big business, and debt collection lawyers make bundles of money when they take consumers to court. Why is that? Because the vast majority of the time (some estimates put it at 90% of the time), the lawyers are able to obtain judgments against consumers. Once they have those judgments in hand, they can relatively easily proceed to freeze consumers' bank accounts or garnish their wages.


But let's back up for a moment and explore the bigger picture. Why do debt collectors file lawsuits? Often, they do it to save money. When they file lawsuits against consumers - which they do by the hundreds and sometimes by the thousands - a collector lowers his overhead expense. After all, the taxpayer is footing the bill for the court system. All the collector has to do is have an attorney file the paperwork and show up for a quick, open-and-shut case.


To save costs even further, some debt collection attorneys don't even file the lawsuits in the jurisdiction where a consumer lives. One case that recently made the news outlined a legal firm that filed debt collection lawsuits in upstate New York, rather than New York City, because the filing costs were cheaper. It didn't seem to matter that the consumer didn't live in the area where the lawsuit was filed. Thankfully, that case is wending its way through federal court as an alleged violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.


Shady debt collectors and even shadier attorneys also engage in a practice known as "gutter service." These folks file lawsuits, but don't even bother to serve the papers to the consumer, as is required by law (proverbially throwing them in the "gutter"). Instead, they lie on official court documents and say that they served the proper papers.


As you can see, debt collectors and their attorneys engage in a range of shenanigans at taxpayers' expense and at a cost of consumers' peace of mind. What's the lesson to be learned? First, if you're contacted by a debt collector, answer the phone and open the mail. Second, understand your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Third, if you're served with papers that look as though they're related to a lawsuit, contact a fair debt attorney. He can help you sort things out. Fourth, if you are being sued by a debt collector, don't miss your court appearance. Often, a judge will side with the consumer when the collector or their attorney crosses the line. Lastly, remember that you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect - and the law demands it. If you've been the victim of debt collector abuse, you have the right to sue the collection agency. And, it shouldn't cost you a dime.

Credit Counseling, Repair and Reports

A lot of things can happen in life which we have little or no control over. These events can, and generally do, affect our finance and credit standing. Although we can't always control the events that unfold, we can certainly control our response to them. Credit Counseling is an excellent starting point; use it to fashion a strategy that will get you through the rough patch in your Credit0 life, improve your credit scores and bring about the benefits I've outlined below:

Peace of Mind

Credit Counseling is only a beginning point, but it IS a beginning. Just the action taken to improve things can bring about a better feeling and attitude in general. Your mind will settle down once you begin your strategy and switch from crisis to confidence mode. Thus, with a clear mind, you will make better decisions more easily and often. Also, the health benefits from lowering stress are well documented. The peace of mind brought about by Credit Counseling is well worth the investment of time, money and energy.

Confidence

As I mentioned above, Credit Counseling will boost your confidence once the action to improve your Credit0 and credit outlook has been taken. The confidence I'm referencing is not simply bold abandon, but the genuine feeling and belief that the steps you've taken are improving your quality of life. Your finance and credit outlook will improve daily and it is measurable! This will cast the finance and credit areas that need improving a refreshing new light.

Freedom

By far the best benefit from Credit Counseling is the eventual freedom it brings to your life. As your finance and credit areas improve and repair, it allows you the freedom to once again plan for your future, using the confidence and peace of mind outlined above. The freedom brought about by having actual choices when you need credit in the future to finance your dreams and endeavors is worth every penny and second invested.

In summary, Credit Counseling is a great tool to begin credit repair - raise your credit scores and increase your confidence, freedom and peace of mind.

Your mind will settle down once you begin your strategy and switch from crisis to confidence mode. Thus, with a clear mind, you will make better decisions more easily and often. Also, the health benefits from lowering stress are well documented. The peace of mind brought about by Credit Counseling is well worth the investment of time, money and energy.

Confidence

As I mentioned above, Credit Counseling will boost your confidence once the action to improve your Credit0 and credit outlook has been taken. The confidence I'm referencing is not simply bold abandon, but the genuine feeling and belief that the steps you've taken are improving your quality of life. Your finance and credit outlook will improve daily and it is measurable! This will cast the finance and credit areas that need improving a refreshing new light.

Freedom

By far the best benefit from Credit Counseling is the eventual freedom it brings to your life. As your finance and credit areas improve and repair, it allows you the freedom to once again plan for your future, using the confidence and peace of mind outlined above. The freedom brought about by having actual choices when you need credit in the future to finance your dreams and endeavors is worth every penny and second invested.

In summary, Credit Counseling is a great tool to begin credit repair - raise your credit scores and increase your confidence, freedom and peace of mind.

Couponing, A Way to Save Money

Americans are not only resilient but we are tenacious and inventive. When the great recession hit and hit hard, we all started looking for ways to save money anywhere we could. We didn't have a choice. Americans want to maintain a certain quality of life and if that means clipping coupons, so be it.

One of the best ways to save money is through couponing. Couponing is the process of finding coupons for literally anything and everything we use in our daily lives.

Couponing has become so popular, the Today Show featured a segment with America's Cheapest Family where they discussed all the ways they use coupons, bulk buying and menu planning to drastically reduce their food bill. This and other segments on saving with coupons quickly topped the Today Show's most watched videos.

The majority of us have been cutting coupons for many years, but when our bank accounts and 401k's were plump with cash we felt rich. When you feel rich, you stop cutting coupons. Unfortunately, we do not feel rich anymore.

Fortunately for all of us the Internet happened. Now you can find coupons at the touch of a key. Yes, you can still get them in your Sunday paper, but the Internet has spawned a plethora of coupon sites and discount websites like never before. Plus, individual corporations are using coupons, discounts and rebates to attract customers.

Another great way to get information on specials and promotions is to become a fan of your favorite store on Facebook. Starbucks runs periodic promotions for a free pastry if you buy a coffee on a specific date within a specific time period. This campaign was so successful they increased their store traffic by over a million people. They get the word out about their promotions through social media like Twitter and Facebook.

Cheap Living, Spend Less on Clothing, and Still Look Great

A big part of living cheap is getting a handle on your clothing costs. You can look great and spend 1/10 or less of what other spend on clothing... we know we've done it for years.

If you are not shopping at Goodwill, clothing consignment shops, or thrift shops you are wasting money on clothes.

My wife has a Thursday morning ritual, that includes being at the Goodwill store as soon as they open 9 AM... Why? Because Thursdays is dollar day at our Goodwill. She not only buys for herself and husband, she buys items of clothing for a dollar which we donate, through church groups, to the needy both here and in Mexico.

A lot of the items that she buys for one dollar, are brand-new, with the tags. She gets compliments weekly at church where she serves coffee before service. When ladies comment," where did you get that lovely outfit?", the jaws drop when she says Goodwill...total cost $2-$3. depending on the outfit.

Are all of our clothes purchased at Goodwill? No, occasionally we will buy from clothing outlet stores. Where we live in Phoenix, almost all of the clothes I wear to play golf are purchased at outlet stores. Sometimes the shirts are plain, sometimes they will have logos, all are brand-new and cost from 10 to 25% of retail.

Living cheap and saving on clothes has become a habit for us... Once you find a real bargain, like a new pair of slacks for dollar, you will be hooked as well. Then you get to chuckle when people compliment you on your clothes and you tell them what you paid...at first they may not believe you.

Living cheap and looking great does not have to cost a lot of money.

Average Family Grocery Bill - How To Save Thousands On Grocery Shopping Reviewed

With the average family grocery bill getting higher and higher, I decided to take a look at a product that was reviewed as "the number one moneysaving resource" by a leading homemaking website.

I'm normally skeptical about products that claim to save me money but I got intrigued when my wife bought the product and has actually saved money every week.

So I read the e-book, and here are my observations about "Save Thousands Grocery Shopping" by Lana Dorazio.

  • Firstly Lana talks about how the average family spend over $200 too much on their grocery bill by simply not shopping smart. So if the info stacked up, saving $2500 dollars a year for a $19 dollar e-book looks a great deal.
  • I was expecting to read that I should use coupons, shop at Costco etc., and the savings would add up. Lana must have been looking to throw people like me a curveball as I read page after page of information that I genuinely had no idea about and certain things that made me laugh out loud as I recognized myself as the wasteful shopper I didn't know I was (I've always taken pride in being a careful bargain hunter).
  • I saw that I had, like most people, fallen for most of the marketing tactics that grocery stores employ to get us to part with our money, without being aware of it.
  • The multi-deals and pricing information is worth the price of the e-book alone, in my opinion, and will have many people that read it face-palming themselves.
  • Most people will, prior to reading this information, like myself, have fitted into two categories that Lana mentions on the sales page for her product, those that think they are saving money already and those that don't realize how much money can be saved.
  • The bonus information really grabbed me. The grocery pricebook and the interview with the store manager were strokes of genius. The pricebook is a great practical add-on and the interview exposing more inside secrets of the grocery industry compliments much of the information within the e-book and is a really interesting read that gets you thinking about the way you spend on food.

I recommend this product to anyone looking to save a large amount of money for a small investment. I fail to see how anyone implementing the strategies and information wouldn't make the savings claimed, and I defy anyone not to mentally judge the wasteful spending habits of other shoppers that they see throwing their cash around as they shop for groceries, I know I do!

Bad Credit Financing Finding the Finance Plan That Works

There are a lot of people who make use of bad credit financing. There is hardly anyone who has perfect credit. Some people are simply caught up in a lot of obligations, sometimes they neglect to pay their bills on time. Some people on the other hand, have different priorities and they may choose to pay their bills later, which in turn cause them to pile up, resulting to bad credit. No matter which situation you are coming from, there is a solution for such problems. You simply have to find one.

Despite the fact that bad credit financing is there to help you, your life is not going to be as easy as it sounds. As you know normally, banks, will not even bother to lend you money Why should not they? You have every symptom of not paying up. Since this is the consequence of your action, you may have to deal with higher interest rates and deposits compared to those with good credit score. However, be thankful enough that there are people who would still lend you money despite of it all.

When granted a new loan from your bad credit financing, consider a strategic plan on rebuilding your credit history. Because with every successful payment that you make, you are augmenting your credit score. It is simply like hitting two birds with one stone, first you are paying off your current credit, and second you are paving your way to improving your Credit0 score which is equal to getting granted with bigger loans in the future. You might not think of it at the moment, but someday you will be thankful that you have turned your life around.

Although there are a lot of Credit0 institutions offering bad credit, it is important to do thorough research first. Do not be fooled by high loan offerings right away. The most important thing to consider is whether the payment terms are feasible compared to your current Credit0 status. Remember, interest rates, and standard payment plans that your bank previously had you were not able to follow through which is why you have the credit score that you do. The worst thing that you can do is to make the same mistake again.

Always remember, that while you are in this Credit0 rut, it does not mean that you will take the first offer that you get. You are already in bad shape, and so it is important to be extra careful. Be more skeptic and selective when choosing the right bad credit financing. This Credit0 institutions are in this for business, not for charity. They will pawn on you, the first chance they get. Your goal is to improve your Credit0 status, and so look for the best company which has the same goal as yours.

Choosing the right lender should not be rushed. After all, they will ask for higher interest rates or perhaps shorter payment period. While they would still screen your paying capacity, most of the time they would be happy just to confirm that you have a regular job and some properties that could help you keep up with the payments. Make sure that your lenders are duly recognized by your bank. And they should make appropriate reports regarding your payment system. You have to make sure that your efforts are worthwhile -- they should help you in getting a better chance of lending from banks in the future. And make sure that the banks would recognize and acknowledge their reports. That is why it is important to choose Credit0 institutions with strong background in finance for them to be recognized by your local banks.

At the moment, borrowing money may be the least of your concerns. However, avoiding Credit0 activity will not serve to your best interest. You should use bad credit financing as your tool in improving your credit score and a step closer to Credit0 independence.

Federal Student Loans - An Overview

Federal Counseling4 loans are the first choice for Counseling4s that require Credit0 assistance with their professional or college studies. These loans offer defer payments while the Counseling4 would be able to graduate and take classes. The payment on these loans does not begin immediately and they are generally deferred by 6 months. These loans are the largest source of loans for Counseling4s in the US today. They allow the Counseling4s to get Credit0 help they need with a simple repayment plan and lower interest rates. There is no requirement for any kind of collateral in order to get the loan. One of the biggest benefits of these loans is the in-school subsidy on the interest which means that the government would be paying the interest while the Counseling4 is still studying. The government would also be paying the interest for 6 month after the completion of studies.

Types of Loans
If you have been considering applying for federal Counseling4 loans then you must know that there are several different types of loans available. Perkins Loan is one of the options. With this loan, the selected school would get the funds which would then be transferred to the account of the Counseling4 through credit. The Stafford Loan is a subsidized loan where the Counseling4 would be able to select the bank that would lend the money. The lender would send the money to the school and the money would then be transferred to the account through credit for the Counseling4.

Direct Loans
Federal Counseling4 loans are not always available in the form of money that would come from a lender. Counseling3s can also apply for direct loans. With the direct loan, the government would be the direct lender for the loan money. These loans are normally provided to permanent residents and to citizens. Since there are quite a lot of options available today it would be necessary for the Counseling4s to first get a basic understanding of federal loans and the process that has to be followed for each before applying for a particular loan.

The Pros
• 100% education cost can be borrowed
• Several offer benefits to Counseling4s that will reduce the rate of interest
Counseling3s are not required to complete FAFSA
• The funds can be used for computer, books, boarding and tuition
• Low interest rates are available if the school certifies the enrolment and check is directly sent to school.

Cons
• The federal Counseling4 loans will require a credit check before an approval is provided. The interest rate would be determined based on the credit check.
• The rate of interest is variable and it may increase over time during the loan term.
• The private loans do not always offer deferment options.
