Posts Tagged ‘Debt Emergency’

Here is a secret that your credit card issuers never wanted you to know. They have absolutely no problem if you do not repay your debts in full. That is right. This is something that runs contrary to all that you have been taught by credit card companies. You have been reminded again and again that money that you are using is not yours and must be repaid in full.

You have blindly accepted that you will have to pay an interest rate that may keep on varying as per the whims and fancies of credit card issuers. You have accepted without argument that credit card issuers have the right to earn huge profits out of the money loaned to you. The truth is that you can skip repayment and credit card issuers will not bother one bit. How can this be done?

This had not been disclosed by credit card issuers earlier. The large number of bankruptcies that hit the economy after the recession compelled issuers to offer settlements. Many individuals were facing credit card debt emergency and decided to opt for bankruptcy. When they found that their monthly income was not enough to make repayments, they decided to seek legal protection from debt. Only when millions of individuals had sought protection in the form of bankruptcy did card issuers wake up to reality. They realized that it was high time individuals were offered waivers to prevent debt failures.

Today, card issuers are offering up to seventy percent of waivers as long as the individual guarantees repayment of the remaining amount. What is more, card issuers are prepared to offer installment facility for repayment of the remaining amount. This is contradictory to the conservative approach adopted by the issuers in the past.
