16 Counselor Competencies Describe signs of overindebtedness. Describe how to set a reasonable debt limit. Summarize strategies to reduce debt. Discuss consequences of default. Explain methods of restructuring debt.
17 Overview Overindebtedness Consequences Reducing Debt
18 Overindebtedness Signs 1. Exceeding limits 2. Not knowing how much you owe 3. Running out of money 4. Paying only minimum amount 5. Requesting new credit and higher limits 6. Paying late or skipping payments 7. Taking add-on loans (aka flipping) 8. Using debt-consolidation loans 9. Experiencing garnishments 10. Experiencing repossessions or foreclosures
19 Overindebtedness How to Set Debt Limits? Mary s Tip: Set limits within the budget: - Housing < 26% - Utilities between 5 10% - Savings > 10% - Transportation <10% - Debt Expenses < 10% - Food between 9 14% - Everything else <20% - Total = 100%
20 Overindebtedness Terms Statute of Limitations - a rule that sets a time limit within which a creditor may sue you for payment of a debt. The length of time that a creditor has to sue you on an unpaid debt varies from state to state. In some states, it's four years. In other states, it might be longer. Cooling-off Period - an interval after a sales contract is agreed upon during which the purchaser can decide to cancel without loss. Seller must tell you your rights to cancelling a contract. Cease Letter first step to asking a creditor or collector to stop an illegal activity or harassment. Examples of cease letters can be found at Consumerfinance.gov
21 Consequences Prioritizing High Priority Low Priority
22 Consequences Consequences of Default Repossession Self-help - Self-help repossession is simply repossession of collateral based on terms of a contract rather than a court order Reinstatement you get the loan current by making up all of the past due payments, including applicable fees and late charges, in one lump sum. Redeem - if you pay the entire outstanding balance due on the car loan, you can get the car back. The balance you would need to pay to redeem the vehicle may include extra fees and charges (including repo and storage fees and even attorney fees). Deficiency balance - the remaining amount that is due and owing a lender after the collateral (real estate or personal property) securing a loan is sold for less than the outstanding balance of the loan.
23 Consequences Consequences of Default, con t. Garnishment - a court order directing that money or property of a third party (usually wages paid by an employer) be seized to satisfy a debt owed by a debtor to a plaintiff creditor. Bank Setoff where the bank can removes money from the debtor s bank account to cover a missed payment on a loan owed to that institution. Assignment Order - court order that requires a debtor to assign certain rights to the creditor.
24 Consequences Judgments Basic - an official result of a lawsuit in court. In debt collection lawsuits, the judge may award the creditor or debt collector a judgment against you. Summary - a means by which the creditor can obtain a judgment against you without having to go to trial. Default - If you do not file an answer to the complaint within the response period, you lose the right to challenge the creditor's lawsuit. With a judgement, creditors can: garnish or attach your wages attach your bank account Execute against personal property, or file a lien against your real estate.
25 Consequences Liens Judgment Property Tax - property that has a lien attached to it cannot be sold or refinanced until the taxes are paid and the lien is removed. IRS - the government's legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt. The lien protects the government's interest in all your property, including real estate, personal property and financial assets. Mechanic s - a security interest in the title to property for the benefit of those who have supplied labor or materials that improve the property. The lien exists for both real property and personal property.
