Dear Kenny,   Thank you for your book!  It was a huge turning point for me.  It gave me clear direction when I really needed it, when I was lost in a thick dark jungle of credit card debt.   I had heard, mostly on the radio, that credit cards could be settled for far less than I owed, but just how?  When I called some of those companies that advertised on the radio, they wanted huge fees and were talking about "consolidating" and having me make payments for at least 5 years -- some even wanted me to deposit money with them!  It ...

Noticed what's new with credit card companies nowadays? Lately, they've become more abusive and more instinctive when it comes to hunting those in deep debt.

In "The Do-It-Yourself Bailout," I tell the story of how I settled five of my seven credit card accounts, reducing my debt from $212,000 to $30,000 in about six months and having $115,000 in debt written off entirely.  At the time of writing, I still had two open accounts, "Yellow Bank" with a $17,500 balance and "White Bank" with a $12,500 balance.    With added interest during the months I was not making payments, the balances increased to $22,500 and $15,000 respectively. Last Friday, I settled the Yellow Bank account for only 22%.    That's right, 22%! If you're still working on settling your ... Read Full Story

One year on from the period of panic that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers, you might be forgiven for thinking the worst of the credit crunch was over. The banking system has steadied. The stock market looks perky. The housing market is limping out of the convalescent ward. The trouble is, you’d be wrong. The credit crunch has a nasty little sibling, with whom we are yet to be fully acquainted. Call it the credit card crunch — except...

Not only are people borrowing less on their credit cards but they are...

You are not my accountant. How do you convert personal debt to business debt? My sister-in-law and her husband are the owners of a chiropractic practice with no employees other than themselves. They opened the practice shortly after being married, and paid for nearly all the startup costs with their credit cards rather than securing a small business loan. The business is doing fine, or anyway as fine as it really can be given the economy...
