MWFREEDOM: PJ what is the best return for your money?
MWFREEDOM: Good to hear that
Ntime1751: My visa at 16% I would like to transfer balances to my advantage.
MWDebtFree: PJ - I guess a lot of that depends on how much interest you are
paying on your mortgage
MWDebtFree: and how much you could be earning in a mutual fund.
MWFREEDOM: Why? Are you still using plastic?
OnlineHost: JAYA CHER has left the room.
LEGACYSJAX: I went to my insurance company today and changed the deductible

6mo to a year?
MWFREEDOM: Dada yes!

Atljentlmn: month to prepay their mortgage in half the time
LEGACYSJAX: I have a question that MsCash and I go back and forth on is it ok
to keep one major credit card open
MWDebtFree: Legacy - I say no. I think an emergency fund is the best answer.
Having cash on hand
MWDebtFree: is a lot of security.
LEGACYSJAX: or should all accounts be closed if you are trying to become debt
free
MWFREEDOM: At do those numbers work out?

credit though

realize it is necessary for financial
LEGACYSJAX: freedom
Atljentlmn: I know.....but I find most people are so ignorant that they wont
consider the alternatives
MWDebtFree: AWein - It never ceases to amaze me that they go after young
people like that.
MWFREEDOM: How so?
MWFREEDOM: At?
OnlineHost: Slanedna has left the room.

Atljentlmn: Most people want an easy fix to their problems and their isnt

for all the junk mail they
MWDebtFree: send out! LOL
AWein1: lol
MWDebtFree: Atljen - I agree. Those things are free, but are so hard for
most people.

heard of that.
AWein1: yes, pre-approved even
OnlineHost: MANKEY3 has left the room.
Atljentlmn: <---calls him at home wioth card offers
MsCashonly: Wow that's scary.
AWein1: I just bought a house, I thinks that's why
MWDebtFree: Someone was arguing with us last week that they had never heard
of pre-approved credit
MWDebtFree: cards.
MWDebtFree: They thought you couldn't get one without filing out an
application.
Atljentlmn: what??? what planet were they from??
Dadalton: people call me all the time at home for credit cards!! i'm 25 &
just bought a house also!!!
MWDebtFree: Atljent - My sentiments exactly!
LEGACYSJAX: I tell you what I hate is when you get a check in the mail and
all you have to do is deposit it
OnlineHost: MANKEY3 has entered the room.
MWDebtFree: Legacy - Isn't that sneaky!

MWFREEDOM: WOnder whose best interest they have in mind
Dadalton: don't do it!!
AWein1: See, it must be a house thing
Dadalton: buy a house and now they call you for everything!!!
MWDebtFree: Oh, they have your best interest in mind, all the interest you'll
be paying them!
LEGACYSJAX: Yes and I would hate to admit how many times I fell for that :<
Atljentlmn: You know its funny(well, actually its not)....but these companies
never stop to think what

problems.
OnlineHost: DeniCopp has left the room.
Thunder MP: I'd like to know how to avoid paying secured debts.
USS Pogy: If its a car, the fin co will try to repo it. Your strategy is then
to hide it from them
USS Pogy: without inconvnce to you.
MWDebtFree: No. That's fraud and it's highly illegal.
Thunder MP: But can't they repo and get a deficiency judgement?
USS Pogy: Yes it fraud and if you hve any questions seek qualified advice.
I'm merely relaying
USS Pogy: encounters I've had with debtors in my career.
MWFREEDOM: USS what is yourt most interesting case???????
MWFREEDOM: Nite all!
USS Pogy: To prevent repo, debtors have changed their license plate, covered
their vin #, had it paint
MWDebtFree: Nite Freedom!
MWFREEDOM: Next week same time same station!
USS Pogy: a new color and parked it down the street.
Thunder MP: nite MWs
MWFREEDOM: NiteALL!
MWDebtFree: All that money instead of paying on the car?
USS Pogy: My most int case was when a magazine co I worked for sent a circ
manager to a conv
USS Pogy: store to sign up for dist, but their were already mags in the
store. The mgr saw a man cower
USS Pogy: ing in the corner, holding our mags under his coat. He was a former
dist for us who stole
Poeas: Question??? Is it wise to call CC co. and ask them if you can pay
half of min. payment?
USS Pogy: books from other stores, took them outside the route, sold them and
kept it all for him self
USS Pogy: to the toon of 5 figs.
MWDebtFree: Poeas - Why would you want to do that? That would just keep you
in debt that much
MWDebtFree: longer.
Poeas: Because right now we are having trouble making ends meet and I don't
want anymore over draft
AWein1: Q: Should you cancel all your cards at once or keep them open until
payed off?
RMoore7042: Poeas: See about a home equity loan pay-off cc and then burn them
OnlineHost: HOULEJW has entered the room.
MWDebtFree: AWein - If you aren't going to use them anymore, go ahead and
cancel.
AWein1: Q: Will it look like you lost control if you cancel them all at once.
USS Pogy: i'm signing off unless anyone has any questions.
MWDebtFree: Poeas and RMoore - No consolidation loans. That's trading
unsecured debt for secured
MWDebtFree: debt.
RMoore7042: poeas: the interest on home equity is deductible and you can
strecth payments..
Poeas: RMOORE: We already have a second mortgage anyways
MWDebtFree: Poeas - If you miss a payment they'll take your home.
