Day One

Recognize that Life is out of control day one

Current debt to income: 140%

Future debt to income: 185%

  • Overwhelmed with paper/bills and household stuff

o Laundry basket full of “stuff” – who knows how many bills are in there? hopefully none!

o Savings bonds/cash in random places

o 95% sure current month bills are paid

o Passwords/account numbers and logins stuff everywhere on little piece of papers

o no homeowners insurance on second rental property

  • Wife out of a part-time job in 7 weeks

o Benefits increase$600.00/per month

o No monthly income from her (1200)

  • Debt to income ratio: monthly debt (personal and business) 6200 – total income: 5000

o Current house: worth 170,000 – owe 95,000. 15 year mortgage – owe $1000.00/month

o Second property: condo worth 275,000 – owe 245,000 – 30 yr mortgage – 2,000/month

o Private loans:

§ Father 1: 40,000 -- $220/month 2% unsure who many years – haven’t paid since borrowing in May 2008

§ Father 2: 25,000 -- $400/month – currently paying and caught up with payments

§ Mother 1: 35,000 -- $450/month (to be honest – unsure of amount)

o Credit Cards: 9500+2500+1000+9500=21,600

o Currently owe: 9500 on credit card. Rest paid off using father/mother loaned money

  • Credit: shot

o paying 9500 on a credit card – 12% paying 220/month

o Between april 2008 and april/may 2009 – did not any (ok some) credit card bills. Interest rate shot to 39% and 24%. Cards closed everywhere – credit calls all day long

o April 2009: Talked to consumer credit as option to get out

o April/May 2009: began private debt settlement negotiations between ourselves and creditors

o June 2009: credit cards (accept for 9500) closed and settled.

o Outstanding BANK loan for overdraft fees: 1000.00
