[53]

[58]
But first I want to share my own credit card debt nightmare story with you.
[62]
Hi, My name is Mel Thompson. I owed $63,000 in credit
[67]
card debt before i learned how to avoid paying credit card debt I could not
[71]
afford to pay
[73]
without seeking bankruptcy protection.
[75]
Soon after making the great emotional and financial sacrifice separating from my wife
[80]
of nineteen years and leaving my 12 year old son's home
[84]
i began paying court ordered child support
[88]
which was 1/3
[89]
of my gross income.
[91]
Still it was able to establish a modest residence
[95]
near my son
[96]
with the income my 10-year-old consulting business generated.
[100]
Unfortunately my business began to suffer from the glut of domestic and off-shore
[104]
skilled professionals.
[105]
I was
[106]
having more and more trouble generating the income i needed to pay my bills and
[110]
child support.
[111]
My credit was excellent .I had numerous unused credit cards with low interest rates
[115]
and high charge limits.
[117]
I began using them
[118]
to pay bills each month I could not otherwise afford to pay.
[122]
My business continued to suffer
[124]
I reached the point where I was writing credit-card courtesy checks to cover my
[128]
monthly expenses and child support.
[131]
Soon my total minimum monthly credit card payments were over $1500
[134]
and increasing each month.
[137]
Eventually my business improved. I was making enough money to pay my expenses
[141]
and child support
[143]
but not the monthly credit card statement.
[145]
I considered bankruptcy
[147]
but that would mean the sale of the home I left my ex-wife and son in
[150]
but still jointly owned.
[152]
Putting them out and ruining my credit were unacceptable to me.
[156]
Finally i had to stop paying the credit card. It was that or not pay any
[160]
child support.
[161]
I did not know what to expect.. I was fearful and anxious.
[165]
i spent all my free time researching credit card debt collection,and
[169]
credit card debt relief options online.
[173]
I found a lot of "Pay-us-now-and-we-will-help-you-later" scams. Or, "we can help
[177]
you,
[178]
just trust our expertise". Everyone wanted to be paid a minimum of a few thousand
[182]
dollars.
[183]
Most of the so-called professionals suggested putting their fee on a credit
[186]
card
[188]
and then to stop paying that
[191]
card.
[192]
My credit cards soon charged off after six months of non-payment.
[195]
I owed a total of
[197]
$63,000.
[199]
My debts went to debt collectors.
[201]
Then, they went to debt collection law firms.
[204]
But fortunately I was finally ready to reply.
[207]
I had learned enough after months of research to be able to
[210]
craft carefully written
[212]
CMRRR communications
[217]
to respond to the threatening letters and phone calls
[219]
and my letters worked.
[221]
I escaped those credit card debts.
[223]
My credit rating soon improved. Within three years of
[226]
first being late with payments I was able to get a new car loan.
[232]
I learned first hand
[233]
I did not have to pay credit card debt, I could not afford to pay.
[237]
I want to help you do the same thing.
[239]
Today I continue to learn
[241]
and to help other people do what I did and
[243]
to find the peace of mind again
[245]
When you know what I know, you will see debt collectors and collection attorneys
[247]
as powerless.
[249]
But, they always have a new twist they hope will scare people into paying what
[253]
they cannot afford to pay.
[255]
Imagine what your life would be like
[257]
without the worry of credit card debt.
[259]
Think of the freedom you would have to make financial decisions, the freedom to
[262]
spend money responsibly, and the freedom to make plans for your future finances.
[267]
You would be free of all that excessive worrying. Healthcare, education, vacations,
[271]
new clothes
[272]
and all the other amenities in the normal life could be yours again without
[276]
excessive worry.
[277]
Instead of experiencing that stomach churning feeling when a debt collector
[280]
calls,
[282]
you'll be asking "Is that the best you can do?" when a debt collector threatens
[286]
you over the telephone.
[288]
i promised you some quick tips
[290]
Here are five things to avoid with credit card debt: Avoid anyone asking you to pay
[295]
money up front
[297]
before they can provide you with any kind of credit card debt relief.
[301]
The Federal Trade Commission recently prohibited debt settlement firms
[304]
from seeking payment before any settlement takes place.
[307]
But these firms are already finding loopholes in the new regulations. The offer
[312]
of help can be so tempting.
[314]
Don't let yourself be scammed.
[316]
Avoid debt collector phone calls.
[319]
When it comes to credit card debt,
[320]
anything important only takes place in writing. You only expose yourself to
[325]
scary lies and threats
[327]
by listening to a debt collector over the phone.
[330]
Avoid admitting in writing, inadvertently or otherwise, that a debt is yours.
[335]
Because of a credit card debt's open account nature, debt collectors and
[338]
collection attorneys have difficulty legally proving your ownership of
[342]
credit card debt.
[344]
Do not make their job easy for them. This is not a reflection on your characterr
[347]
this is simply a sound legal strategy
[350]
for dealing with these liars.
[352]
Avoid arbitration.
[354]
Do not agree to participate in an arbitration proceeding about credit card debt.
[359]
Arbitration essentially robs you of your rights.
[363]
When you agreed arbitration,
[365]
you agree that the debt is yours.
[368]
Avoid the offer of a token debt settlement plan by a debt collector
[373]
or junk debt buyer.
[375]
That will restart the statute of limitations on your debt
[378]
and it will prove that the debt is yours.
[381]
Here are three things you can enjoy when you interact with debt collectors
[385]
as soon as you learn some simple skills from me.
[388]
When you hear from a junk debt buyer (JDB) who has just purchased one of your
[391]
delinquent credit card debts, instead of feeling dread,
[395]
you will feel relief because you know how
[398]
easy JDBs are to defeat.
[401]
Did you know they only expect to collect from one-third of the debts they buy?
[406]
When you hear from a debt collector collecting for a junk debt buyer who owns one of
[410]
your debts, you will enjoy knowing
[413]
how powerless they are to harm you.
[416]
When you receive a letter
[417]
in a collection attorney's letterhead seeking to collect one of your debts owned by a
[420]
junk debt buyer,
[422]
you will enjoy sending a demand for proof of your indebtedness
[426]
that you now know they cannot effectively answer.
[430]
There are three tips you can use right away:
[433]
Avoid committing financial debt by guilt.
[436]
Stop acting and feeling "guilty"
[439]
because of your credit card debt.
[441]
The worst thing you can do is admit that you owe a debt to some stranger writing or
[444]
calling.
[445]
By stonewalling and not admitting to the debt,
[448]
you are not being dishonest,
[450]
you are simply not willing to discuss your financial affairs
[453]
with someone you don't know.
[455]
This is a sound legal strategy. Debt collectors and collection attorneys
[459]
are lazy. They want you to prove you owe the debt, because they cannot do
[463]
a good job of that.
[465]
He's got to respond to a debt collector over the telephone.
[469]
You are just a voice on the other end of the phone.
[472]
You could be anyone.
[473]
I only communicate about my financial matters in writing
[477]
and only with those people
[479]
who are known to me.
[481]
He's got to distinguish a lawyer's letter
[483]
addressing your particular situation
[486]
from a debt collectors prospecting tool
[488]
that happens to be on a law firm's letterhead and signed by a lawyer.
[493]
If it says, "This communication
[495]
has not been reviewed
[497]
by an attorney..."
[498]
all they're doing is casting out a net with mass mailing to numerous debtors
[502]
knowing that many will call him
[504]
to work out a payment plan and most others
[507]
will not respond.
[508]
That makes the non responders good candidates
[512]
for no-show default judgments -
[514]
a collection attorney's
[515]
bread and butter.
[517]
Are you going through life with a feeling of financial hopelessness?
[520]
i know the feeling.
[522]
I have been in the same credit card debt situation you are in.
[525]
Compare that to just living a normal life without any major financial crises
[529]
to worry about. Truly appreciate the difference.
[532]
if you use what you can learn from me, you will come to the same appreciation.
[536]
There is hope.
[538]
Just because you cannot pay does that mean you are helpless. In the rest of
[541]
this video i'm going to show you
[543]
why there is hope.
[545]
It is not your fault.
[547]
It was not my fault.
[548]
Many perhaps,
[549]
most of his encounter temporary financial difficulty at some point
[553]
in our lives. Unfortunately our financial establishment is focused on short term
[556]
results and while they can hope for a too big to fail bailout
[561]
we're stuck holding the bag.
[563]
They will give us any time to recover from a temporary difficulties
[566]
and to repay what we owe. Instead, they write off the debts we cannot pay after
[570]
six months
[571]
and sell them for 10 cents on the dollar to junk debt buyers
[575]
who try to profit from our misfortune.
[577]
Unaffordable credit card debt is a very serious problem.
[580]
Bankruptcy,your credit card debt court judgment could ruin any of us.
[584]
We don't want to see our assets sold to pay an unsecured credit card debt.
[588]
Nor, do we want to be forced into a payment plan for five years.
[592]
All these possibilities create feelings of fear, hopelessness, uncertainty
[595]
and loss of independence.
[597]
Those feelings in turn make it more difficult for us to help ourselves out
[601]
of this difficult situation.
[604]
I have the answer to this difficult problem. I have seen through the veil and found
[608]
the villains to be powerless.
[610]
The answer is simple.
[612]
I discovered a way out. It is a path anyone can follow
[615]
Debt collectors and collection attorneys make threats and tell lies to get our money.
[619]
They are villains.
[621]
But, they are easy to defeat, even in court
[623]
if you know how.
[625]
As I said
[626]
my solution is simple.
[628]
First, do not listen to the credit debt relief scam artists
[632]
who make it sound like it is harder than it is to get out of debt. Second,
[637]
read what I learned about the true powerless nature
[640]
of debt collectors and collection attorneys. And, last, let me show you what to
[644]
write to debt collectors and collection attorneys to make them decide they would
[648]
rather pursue other less well-informed consumers with debt
[652]
My debt validation letters are tested and proven.
[655]
I advise many people on how to use this technique. No one has yet to accuse me of
[659]
leading them astray.
[663]
As i've been telling you
[664]
the best way to get rid of debt collectors and collection attorneys is to
[667]
first educate ourselves about exactly why debt collectors
[671]
and collection attorneys have no real power to harm us.
[675]
when we can lose our fears and feelings of guilt
[677]
we can simply implement the proper written communications that precisely
[681]
make the legal disputes and the basic demands
[685]
that collectors and collection attorneys
[687]
are surprisingly unable to meet..
[690]
When debt collectors see these disputes and demands they give up on us
[695]
to chase other less well-informed debtors.
[697]
When collection attorneys see appropriate legal disputes and demands
[701]
in a letter from us
[702]
the last thing they want to do is waste their time in court
[705]
with us.
[706]
They would much rather spend their time suing other consumers, who fall for their
[710]
threats and intimidation.
[712]
Remember, collection attorneys
[714]
to not get paid until the actually collect some money.
[717]
Also, most states limit the amount of fees these lawyers can add to a debt
[722]
to 20 percent of the alleged amount owed.
[726]
They do not want to fight informed consumers,
[729]
they just want to collect from uninformed consumers.
[733]
This is my system of learning materials and coaching.
[737]
A few of us can do it on our own,
[739]
while many of us need the advice or guiding hand of someone who has already
[742]
done it.
[743]
In addition, different people learn in different ways.
[746]
Some of us learn by reading and some of us learn by reading and watching and listening.
[750]
While many others need to personally interact with someone to understand and retain
[754]
information.
[755]
I have structured my program
[757]
for all the different types of learners.
[759]
Depending on how you process information
[762]
and how much help you need,
[763]
I have developed very-reasonable-priced, specialized learning materials for you
[767]
to take advantage of
[769]
to make your transition to a debt free life as easy and painless as possible.
[774]
First there is the Credit Card Debt Survival Guide.
[777]
This is the book that I wrote. It tells the whole story
[780]
and includes chapters
[782]
on what to write
[783]
to debt collectors and collection attorneys. There is letter text that you
[786]
can copy, paste
[788]
and customize edit
[789]
to your own situation.
[791]
There are 230 pages of detail here with numerous links
[794]
to source material.
[796]
You yourself could see through the veil with all this background
[798]
information.
[800]
a place in .... on how to avoid court summons and how to respond to debt
[803]
collectors and collection attorneys.
[805]
You could find a link to the complete table of contents on my website.
[810]
If a video would help you digest this information, .
[813]
you can watch my twenty minute video on how to write debt collector letters.
[818]
This twenty minute video
[819]
explains the process of putting together a letter that will make a debt collector and
[823]
collection attorney decide
[825]
they do not want to spend any more time with you.
[829]
You get it with a letter from the Credit Card Debt Survival Guide, so you can quickly customize that letter to
[833]
each debt collectors while following, or starting and stopping the video.
[838]
I could also offer you monthly personalized support. One-month support with the e-book
[842]
and video.
[843]
I will discuss
[844]
your situation,
[846]
the edge of the debt specific creditors
[848]
over the phone with you
[850]
and give you my analysis and recommendations.
[853]
Then I will review
[854]
and edit your letters before they go out.
[857]
I will be available for any follow-up by telephone
[860]

[862]
The total cost of these instruments is a fraction of
[865]
the average attorney's fee for one hour of their time.

[875]
I cover you with a 60 day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
[879]
If you want your money back you get it back. Remember, this is the only easily

[896]
what do you have to lose?
