š Late payments won't hurt your credit score
Hey friends,
Happy ā¤ļø Valentines Day. Hereās what weāve got for you this week:
šCredit Card late payments are climbing
āļø Personalized correction letters are in the mail
šŗThe Wolf of Wall Streetās legacy
ā How to check forgiveness credit
ā°How statute of limitations actually work
But before we get to those topics, I want to say this:
If youāre waiting on loan forgiveness, your time is coming. It might be in the next few weeks or the next few years. I know it may not seem like it, but itās coming.
Having said that, I know you want to be done with this sh*t now.
I know youāre ready to be from under this anchor thatās been over your head for years. But I promise, for those of you with federal loans, relief is coming.
Weāve seen it with our own eyes.
In the past year, weāve helped over 700 people get nearly $82 million dollars in loan forgiveness.
Before we met, many of them were ready to die with the loans. There was just no way out they could see. But then I walked them through the different programs and showed them exactly how it would work and they began to believe ā just a little.
I say ājust a littleā because few of them really trusted what I was showing them.
They had been screwed over so many times with this debt that they just knew nothing good was ever going to happen to them. All that relief they heard about it the news? Sure, it worked for those people, but it wasnāt going to work for them. It never had.
But what if this time it would?
At least thatās what I asked them.
So they trusted me and took a leap of faith. And now theyāre free.
My team and I want the same for you. Itās okay if youāre scared or if youāre unsure of the path. Bravery and certainty arenāt eligibility requirements for this program. Itās as simple as having the right loans and being in the right repayment plan until your time comes. We can help you with that. I promise.
With that said, letās dive into this weekās video.
š A closer look at this weekās stories
šCredit card delinquencies are rising
And student loans may be to blame, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Many people are having difficulty absorbing their student loan payments into their budget. If youāre in that situation, consider doing this. (00:49)āļø Education Department is mailing correction errors
The return to repayment has been riddled with errors ā but thatās to be expected when you turn a payment system back on for 43 million people after a 3 year break. The department is working to fix those mistakes and is mailing personalized responses to people. Let me explain. (04:59)šŗThe Wolf of Wall Street comes to debt settlement
He took what he learned from Jordan Belfort and open a nationwide debt settlement company that stole millions from people.ā Want to find out how much forgiveness credit youāll get?
We shared a video to our YouTube channel walking through different scenarios using our free tool that helps estimate your forgiveness credit under the IDR Waiver/one-time account adjustment.ā°Finding your statute of limitations isā¦complicated
It could be where you lived at in college or where you live at now. It could be where the bank is headquartered or where you sent payments. Or it could simply be what the contract says. I break it all down in our latest article. Iām working on the video script now.
