CITI Bank is Not Your Friend
Copyright © 2010 John Gliha
The honeymoon is over. Remember when you got
that warm fuzzy feeling inside because Citibank or American Express approved you for a credit
card? You thought you were worthy, you were proud. How many more of those
accounts did you manage to acquire before you were only paying the minimums? Are you now paying only
the minimums on those accounts only to try to keep your credit score?
Surprise! That was the plan, hook you
into a system of debt using your ego and your pride, and then use your credit score to take all of your cash
and income, or what was left after living expenses. The plan is now
revealed, it is what you see, the trend over the last several years. They are going to use
this method to take your money and with no tangible benefit in return unless you change your habits
quickly.
If you want to predict the future, just look at what’s happened
so far. You will only see more of the same. You might still think
you can buy or even borrow your way out of the debt trap, only to learn later that you just wasted even more
money to dig deeper. Stop digging!
To beat these thieves at their own game you must use the system
they would normally use against you. That is, use the
collection system to block your creditors from collecting and use the same business structures they use to
remove all the risk of them taking anything from you. To beat creditors at
their own evil sinister game, you must create your own friendly creditor to use a shield against them and
change your habits of using money. With a little guidance,
this can be done in about 90 days.
Your first lesson is to learn that your personal credit score
has become very expensive, and to change the habit that caused that situation. Stop borrowing money
and buying things on credit. Forget about your personal credit score, no matter what you do, bankruptcy,
settlement, negotiating, unless you pay on the creditor’s terms, your score is coming down for about seven
years.
Your next lesson is to realize that the way you manage your
money right now is the cause of the impending risk to creditors and eventual debt
collectors. These habits must be replaced with habits that the wealthy use to avoid the same
risks. And it’s simple and costs almost nothing in money and
time.
Look at your debt in terms of what you have that can be taken,
wages, cash savings, property, assets and other income. Forget about the total debt,
$5.00 is the same as $1,000,000 once you understand this principal. Then implement these quick
changes to your habits and the way you use money and your liability will vanish to zero in a short time, 90 days to
be specific. This is about eight times faster than it takes a creditor to get a judgment lien against
you, and by that time you won’t care even a little.
