I'm 50 thousand dollars in debt right now. My creditors are bugging me right now and I don't have any money.

My only hope is that I persuaded my father to buy a million dollars of gold. So if it can go up like another 30-40 percent, I know he'll pay it off.

Pray for me folks.
 
It all depends on WHO you owe money to... if it's the FEDS... well, you know very colloquial intensifier...

don't pay, i'm assuming most of your debt is in non guaranteed loan. if so, all they can do is call u, so just change your number.

don't worry about your credit score, once the shit hits the fan, everyone will have to pay during purchase. there will be no more credit. so your credit score will be worthless.

you really don't have to pray.
 
my creditors are three major credit card companies. They are like threatening me with default and saying I won't be able to get credit for 5-7 years which isn't really a big deal for me. But I was wondering how long it will take them to take me to court. I'm about 90 days overdue. psi2941 is credit card debt a non guaranteed loan?

Your father has a million liquid?

Anyway, CC debt is no big deal. Don't sweat it.
 
Yeah. But there is no way he's going to help out with a dime. Unless as I said he makes a fair a bit of money off Gold because I was the sole reason he invested in it. I would show him Peter schiff videos etc and tell him about it until he invested in it. But the big problem is we're in Australia and the australian dollar is rising so much with the gold price. He's only up like 15 percent from 2008 when against the us dollar it's like 50 percent. so frustrating!

credit cards are non guaranteed loan,

guaranteed loan means theres something as collateral.
as in a house, if you don't pay, you loose it.
as for a car you loose it.

non guaranteed loan, are credit cards and personal loans.

* WARNING * this is my opinion, i may be wrong.
Depending on what state you live in,
as in your case, i would unload any "assets" where they can put a lien on it. second, (i don't want to ask too much personal information) but is your job garnish able? so in my case, i run my own business , so they can garnish me all they want but i can just "quit". as for court, it all depends on how much "assets" you have and how much money you make.

so if you can "reduce" your disposable income to 0, then they can't really garnish you.

so as in your case, these are my assumptions.
you make about 24k ~ 2k/month
have no assets on paper
if my assumptions are correct, they will 100% take you to court and put a judgement on you, however will not enforce it (50-50 shot), until they think they can recover some of the money. That judgement will stay with you for a long time. So one day if you get a large inheritance or asset they can enforce that judgement

so in the long run its better to have a bankruptcy so that judgement can go away. however if you have student loans, don't even bother, with bankruptcy, the student loans don't go away.

EDIT: if you don't live in the US, i don't know anything about your local laws. non of this apply

yea i already started writing after he posted he was in Australia.

if you live in australia, i recommend go thought legal means to declare bankruptcy, asutralia is going to be in good shape after SHTF
 
You weren't using the credit cards to borrow money for investing were you? I noticed in some of your other posts you say you were highly leveraged in metals and lost money and you also mention shorting oil.

if that is true, thats very bad, you need to be highly leveraged on US DOLLAR, not other currency that is very stable.

but i don't know too much outside of the US, maybe their not sound.
 
Perhaps you need to see a lawyer and look into declaring bankruptcy.

Weird Liberty Eagle, you said nothing about his cursing (title of this thread)? Huh?!?! I suppose you forgot to maintain your moralist veil? Or would it be fair to denote your "avatar (in the hindu sense)" as a sanity mask?

I guess when you have many browsers open at once with multiple logins it gets confusing doesn't it?
