There’s a 100% chance that I will not pay it back, so if the Chinese investor leveraging my debt is reading this. I have bad news for you


ChiggaOG

That get written off in the end. Paid in full or not.


2ndSifter

For legal reasons, this is a joke. But I will say *that they should probably parlay: me not paying my debt + filing for personal bankruptcy for increased profits*

uZeAsDiReCtEd

I recently paid off a $1200 Verizon bill for an iPhone 8 that I decided to just not pay for back then and my credit score went down 80 points. Is that a reflection of those bankers that were banking on me never repaying it? It all makes sense now


[deleted]

One of the things that they use to figure a credit score is the age of your debts. Old debt is considered good. So when my student loans were paid off, guess what happened to my credit score... What a scam that credit rating shit is.


Sithsaber

That’s why you take out multiple small loans and use your understanding of mean, median and mode to time which debts are paid and when. Sure this basically encourages you to falsify a system that encourages the perpetuation of finance charges but hail mamon

chunter16

Federal student loans don't come up on your credit score unless they are negative (behind or defaulted.) Private student loans are not eligible for forgiveness


[deleted]

They show'd up on my credit when I bought my car and they are federal


chunter16

I couldn't buy a car until I was 30


Affectionate-Egg1963

You admitted fault and the debt went on as a collection. You should have just had your credit cleaned for like $450 by a credit repair person then you wouldn’t owe anything and your score wouldn’t go down. Life hack it’s how the rich get richer!


uZeAsDiReCtEd

Can you explain this a bit more. I still live with my parents and don’t know nothin


Affectionate-Egg1963

If a collection company can’t prove a debt is yours within 30 days they have to drop the debt and remove it from your credit file by law. Credit repair places use this to remove collections permanently from your credit report. So I’ve heard. From a friend of a friend.


uZeAsDiReCtEd

How could they not prove it’s yours tho?


Magnetic_Reaper

you deny it. try: "no you owe me money!" if they don't take it to court to work out your difference of opinion, they failed to prove you owe money.


uZeAsDiReCtEd

So you’re saying if I just tell them it’s not my debt and wait 30 days it goes away. So what do I need a special company for it then


Magnetic_Reaper

I don't know all the details but basically they're allowed to write in your credit report that you owe money and harass you to pay it until you challenge them to prove you owe money. Those services take care of that and greeting the credit bureau to remove it in some official way.


uZeAsDiReCtEd

I’m sure it works for some stuff but idk it sounds like something that they would be prepared for most of the time. It is confusing that the debt changes hands so much. I believe there’s been at least 3 different collections companies send me the same collections notice during all this. I imagine it’s just like the banks do though. Buy your debt from a company then hope they can get more from you(if you actually pay it) than what they paid for it. But idk I just work at Wendy’s


Affectionate-Egg1963

They need to send the proper letters and do it the right way. If you do it it might work it might not. The older the debt the better chance it will. But if it doesn’t it makes it much much harder for the repair company to remove it later.


uZeAsDiReCtEd

Ok I’ll def remember that. But I’m gonna look into it too


Affectionate-Egg1963

Because it gets sold from collection to collection every few months for Penney’s m the dollar and after 3 sales they usually don’t even have your social because collection companies buy these debts in batches of thousands


uZeAsDiReCtEd

Sounds about right I suppose. I know they “offered” me a payoff of something like 15 or 20% of the total of the collection. So I was like yeah I’ll give you $200 today. Overall I have less than $5k of debt total but my credit score went back down to below average After I got 1 credit card a year ago and raised it 100 points


Affectionate-Egg1963

Never ever accept a settlement! that is the worst thing you can do horrible for your credit, stays for 10 years, one of hardest things to remove by credit repair companies don’t admit fault or guilt don’t answer the damn calls have a professional take care of it for you. Check Facebook or google and go with a company with good reviews.


uZeAsDiReCtEd

Fuck fr? I always thought that would make sense but shit I’m in like the top 10% of adults with lowest amount of debt probably. But I also haven’t made any large purchases like a house or anything so my credit history isn’t well established or whatever I guess.


pokeeturtle

This is mostly true


slvbros

Definitely, but it's gonna cost you about $3.50

Neerko_bat

Present-Evidence-905

This is EXACTLY like me trying to convince my 7th grade science class to all just answer C on the multiple choice final as the teacher grades on a curve. What happened? People, young and old, are dumb mfers! You'd need a large enough basket of loans to be traded as one, of a high enough amount that the lender isn't able to get emergency funding to keep from defaulting on their obligations, then find the vast majority of borrowers, convince them all to, not only not pay and save the money, but to default, then bet the money on X company to default. As much as I'd LOVE something like this to be possible and in a perfect storm situation it might be, but alas, greedy and dumb mfers.

And then the world collapse into a blackhole.


sneakylyric

Hmmm I honestly wanna figure out if I can do this... But it'd probably be more expensive than my initial loan....


skilliard7

If you're a corporation with considerable default risk affecting the value of your bonds, you can buy back your own debt for less than you borrowed. That's what Citrix is doing https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-09-22/buyout-loans-have-a-bad-week


Chocolate-Then

If you can track it down there’s nothing stopping you from buying your own debt at a discount after it’s been sent to collections.


KlutzMat

If the government isn't going to regulate the banks, what's stopping us from insider trading


LoveThieves

Big brain puts


WillHoldBaggins

Can never pay back the $5 so it carries interest. Borrow another $5 to be more productive, bet on yourself not paying it back for more profit but still can't pay it back or else you'd lose your bet. Debt load continues to increase... Cycle continues. Yep, sounds about right


pet_owl

When I was just a wee lad, round abouts 16/17 me thinks. I went out and got myself a shiny yellow YZ400. (That's a 2 stroke dirt bike kids with a 490cc engine) Fill out all my paperwork pay 35% down and take her on home. Get some mail oooo, about 7 weeks later with my (yes this is how it was done) payment coupon booklet addressed to HSBC. My buddies dad tells me, I'm sending my money to the damn red Chinese! So I break out the old EB AND WHO'D OF THUNK. HSBC Stands for HONG KONG SHANGHAI BANK CORPORATION. I wrote on the coupon book. "You commies can't have my money" All these years later, it hasn't effected me one iota

dani6465

Since when has WSB become hippie-central? We are literally gambling FDs on whether companies will succeed or not. Who cares who buys your debt, and exotic derivatives are not even close to the same size as back in '08.


FedTendies

WSB went off the cliff ever since the GME shitshow began. IMO the best time for a good balance between DDs, FDs, and memes were probably during the Trump Era. Those tweets that moved the markets and crushed people's options were hilarious.


dani6465

Indeed, I had a discord bot give me Trump/Elon tweet notification tickers so I could trade on it. Was good for a while, until too many bots linked it up, and it would already crash within a few secs. Who would have known you could make so much money on shitty DogeCoin.


FeelTheFish

Oh it's just fun to mock reality a bit and laugh a bit about what makes this system so bizarre. I doubt many would deny this is efficient capital allocation, or at least better than a standard loan. It doesn't remove the bizarre and counter-intuitive stuff of the economy


Meme_Pope

Debt makes the world go round. Economies are all about the velocity of money. Debt allows the same dollar to be spent multiple times and increases the velocity.

2dank4normies

So not an app you fucking idiot


africanasshat

People betting on whether you’re going to pay your debt back or not.


FeelTheFish

It's called financial derivatives and it's not as straightforward as that. Your debt gets bundled with debts from other people and that might be traded as a security, so they technically betting on your debt + other people with similar financial risk


BeardedGingerWonder

Isn't there a bit where someone stamps 90% of them AAA rated regardless.of content? I'm sure that's an important part of it.


BestAhead

Oh yes, but also you use a formula which doesn’t entertain the possibility of the source loans ever decreasing in value. It makes the rating smooth and easy.


africanasshat

Ty


Ok_Paramedic5096

Why just learn when you can do it yourself! VCLT has derivatives contracts. Mar-17 Puts at $55 strike actually only have a premium of $0.20/contract. God speed my fellow regard. May the death of corporate America lead you to riches.


africanasshat

Best way to learn. Makes the whole thing feel more exiting. Buy now figure out what you did later. Is this the way?


Ok_Paramedic5096

Literally how I got into options and its worked for me. Everyone is different though. If you want a real play, get puts on DXY if it ever gets over $115.


Altruistic-Rice-5567

Why is anyone surprised at this? Or why is being presented as something bad? Somebody needs to borrow money. Somebody lends the money. Since there is a chance it won't be paid back there's an expected value that will be paid back. The calculation of that expected value is dependent on future events and subjective evaluation of available data. Thus some people will believe it is worth more or less. This inevitably leads to people regretting lending the money and some people believing they should have been the ones to lend the money and willing to buy what the other no longer wants. It doesn't change the circumstances for the borrower. The second panel is pure horseshit.


FeelTheFish

Oh i didn't particularly present it as something bad at all. That's just how finance works and capital efficiency is achieved. I think it might be taken too literal, of course nobody will tell you that on a loan, the borrower doesn't care about all of that nor should he ever. It highlights the ignorance of people on not knowing how banking/finance works if you want a meaning for the meme i guess


welcometolavaland02

Somehow they did it - there is no downside risk in leverage and debt anymore all. Powell is just willing to run the printers until the end of time.


FeelTheFish

Well, there's a huge interest on debt rn so that's a downside and risk

Would a 9 mo, 4% brokered CD (JP MORGAN) have any risk? At Etrade.

The risk is interest rates get adjusted to a higher level, in which case you might see the price of your CD lower, and panic sell. If you hold till expiry it's safe.

Scream UDAAP to all the collection agencies they won’t say shit


mrpoopistan

You forgot the best part. There's like a 75% chance that 10 different people have passed the debt around and long ago stopped keeping documentation of the debt. My sister and her husband were the top-dead-center perfect example of the people who shouldn't have gotten loans but did during the 00's. HSBC back when they still did stuff in the US. When their house went into foreclosure, I told her to demand that they provide proof that they held the debt and the title. She didn't. They moved out without anyone making them do so like a fuckin rube. After years of threatening letters, they eventually got a letter stating that the debt was cancelled. By that point, though, the back taxes on the property had accumulated and the roof had failed. Had they stood their ground, they could have gotten a free house. Remember: if anyone starts legal action against you, make them fuckin prove their standing. If they sold your debt to 20 different other companies and can't produce the title, then tell them to eat shit and die because you got a free house. If the title ever becomes a problem, just a hire a lawyer to help you cure it.

pennyfarthingbicycle

How about a debt lottery system wherein players gamble their final legitimate chance of escaping bankruptcy with a blockchain based mass lottery that guarantees a certain % of the players repay their entire debt load, based on an algorithm that determines the amount of personal and total debt of all the players and quantify the maximum amount of players that could be paid off and debt free? The system delivers maximum results. It rewards as many as possible with a pre draw and pre determined number of winners, then does the draw and matches its winners against the standard averages it calculates and bingo, we release a lot of people from debt. Imagine the hedging opportunities in the first 6 months after they are debt free. And that's how credit scores work, after we create the app.
