      70k in credit card debt and at 20 % interest that is 14,000 USD in interest every year. (with 15 % it is 10,500). When does the interest charged equal what they lent her ? - It is with factor 70 (or 72). You need to multiply 20 with 3.5 to get 70 so they need aprox. 3.5 years. or close to 5 years with 15 % interest (5 times 15 would be 75).
      They would never have made those deals with a reasonable person. But they have a good chance to get at least back what they gave her as she continues to pay (a lot of the 70k are likely interest she let pile up).
      They made money like crazy off her (I guess she did not pile that up in one year - a person that does not have the bad and costly habit can't possibly pull that off, she / he would have a mental breakdown before. You have to see it over her life cycle as CC customer. She has been fleeced by them for years already.

So it would be okay to negotiate and settle (unless you did rack up debt to dodge willingly).BTW credit card is a worst financial instrument.

    We bought a house and we made a promise to not go crazy. For first year our 2nd floor was empty, walls were empty, for 6 months we didn’t have a dining table.
    We bought when we had money and half of the stuff we bought is used stuff off Facebook marketplace locally. We still have 2 rooms empty and we are not in any rush to set them up. And I make double the money than her.

    I execute collections in Texas, and you can get a hold of the bank account. It's just dicier for the debt collector, and possibly more expensive. Also, never send a personal check. It's got the name of the bank and account number on it and that is all they need to clear out your bank account.

      ​@@pearlperlitavenegas2023 You've asked a very complex question. In Texas I have only done wage garnishments, bank levies, and recorded abstracts against property. If you are worried about a possible foreclosure, you should seek a out local attorney. My educated guess though would be yes, they can record an abstract on the property and when you go to sell they will collect then and 10% interest that has accumulated in the mean time. Unless they have a judgment for foreclosure, I do not believe they can foreclose on the property and collect that way. To answer your question of can they "touch" your homestead, my short answer is yes.

    Why not just get your budget together, learn from your mistakes and learn how to stay away from this kind of debt, and then file a chapter 7 bankruptcy (if you can). I'd kill my credit with a bankruptcy before sacrificing everything for years just to pay the interest rates on those cards, I mean at this point your credit score can't get worse anyways. Credit card companies take advantage of people to trick them into debt, stick it back to them, then don't fall for the credit card BS again.

    This video lost me when he was trying to steer her to use Every Dollar instead of YNAB. A budgeting app is a budgeting app. She just started using it and tracking her spending, that's the important part. You don't take someone out of that ecosystem to force her to use your product instead. That's just sleezy sales and could set her back from progress if she doesn't click with it.

      @@crooks_da_great7789 he is, and I have no issues with him telling people to use his app when they have no system in place. To tell her that what she's using is wrong doesn't help her, and it's not true, because fundamentally they're the same (zero based budget tracking). The act of tracking your spending is the important part, no matter how you do it. If she felt comfortable with ynab, she should keep using it. She can still follow Dave's advice in other areas and follow his traditional program.

    I love these people that borrow sign loan agreements that clearly provide terms, they borrow money, they don’t pay it back and then claim THEY’RE the victims. Wrong! You may be paying crazy high interest, you may be getting collection calls, you may be getting sued - but YOU created this mess. If YOU lent someone money and they didn’t pay you back, you would go after them for it, too. I get tired of Dave acting like these lenders are in the wrong all the time when they’re just trying to get the money back that is legally owed to them.
