How The Banking Crisis Affects You.

Do you think you are immune to the Banking crisis? Think again. It is going to impact on you directly and indirectly in a myriad ways. The only way to avoid getting drawn into the consequences is to eliminate debt. Take for instance the value of the pound. Ever since the banking crisis has hit the UK, the value of the Pound has been declining versus the US Dollar, the Euro and the Japanese Yen. This means that the purchasing power of the Pound is declining because of the Banking crisis. There are two ways in which this will affect you: Eventually rising inflation will erode your net worth or your savings will go down and there will be a rise in prices because of inflation. But your problems will not be resolved unless you make a conscious effort to eliminate debt from your life.

You must have noticed that since the financial crisis, Banks have stopped lending to each other. This is because of mistrust between the banks which has resulted in a lack of liquidity. Banks are becoming risk averse, which is an irony because the Banking crisis has been precipitated by excessive risk taken by Banks because of their insatiable greed. But this is not going to help you as an individual. Actually the reverse is happening. Banks are forcing individuals to accept higher interest rates by coercion, some credit cards now have interest rates as high as 56%, when they were at just 17% 3 years ago (Source: American Express bill). They even justify this by stating that the risk perception has become higher.

Some of the banks are convincing customers to convert their unsecured loans into secured loans and mortgages. We must be ever vigilant and not fall into this trap. We are liable to lose our homes and property by doing this. The best way out is to eliminate debt altogether. Most of us are unaware of the laws which have been enacted to protect the customer against unethical practices of Banks and financial institutions. It is advisable to seek help from professionals who can guide you through the financial landmine.

Another dimension of the Banking crisis has been the increase in interest rates on unsecured debt. Though there is no logic which drives this decision, we must remember that Banks have shown themselves to be avaricious by nature and ever on the lookout for reasons to increase lending rates. The Banking crisis therefore comes in handy as a convenient excuse to hike the APR. The reason given is that the risk has increased and they have to cover it by increasing the lending rates. Obviously your debt will rise in proportion to the interest being charged by the Banks. The only way to escape from the draconian clutches of Banks is to become debt free. The earlier we become free of debt the better since the days ahead are likely to become financially unbearable.

Another interesting development which has been a direct outcome of the financial crisis has been that Banks have stopped lending to each other. Why should that be? The reasons are obvious. No one really knows the extent to which Banks are exposed to risk .There is a fear that any Bank may go belly up anytime. The problem has become so endemic that even large Banks are not immune from it. Under these circumstances liquidity has been affected. Banks are therefore trying to increase revenues from loans by innocent individuals like you and I, by using coercive tactics. Many of us simply cave in and succumb to pressure. It is important to get out of debt, and this is best achieved with the help of professionals. Remember, Banks are not in business for the benefit of their customers, they are there to extort as much money from you as possible, they call it business, others call it usery. You must eliminate debt quickly to escape the deepening Banking crisis.

The current state of debt in the UK

The current state of debt in the UK

It seems that Britain is addicted to debt and faces a terrible legacy as the recession begins to bite, Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg warns, as new analysis from the Liberal Democrats shows that total personal debt has risen by £1 trillion since Labour came to power. This figure equates to an additional £10m for every hour Labour has been in government. Britons now owe £1.4 trillion in total, with debt repayments of nearly £95bn each year, equating to £3000 per second. Nick Clegg goes on to say, "The fact that Britain's economic growth has been built on a mountain of personal debt means that we are now especially vulnerable to the global economic downturn."
The above statements have been repeated verbatim from the Liberal Democrats website. But the bone of contention is not whether the Labour is responsible, but the fact that British citizens are willy-nilly being suckered into the debt trap.

The alarming rate at which we in the UK are accumulating debt goes to show total disregard of prudence in favour of popularity. Whether it is the Conservatives, Liberals or Labour, the pursuit of popularity and votes, bank politics has led to mounting debts in the UK. This has a cascading effect on personal debt as well. The situation is likely to get worse making the present situation look almost innocuous.

Consider the following figures:

• The total secured lending on homes in the UK, at the end of June 2008, stood at £1,212 billion. This has increased 7.5% in the last 12 months.

• The total lending, in the UK, in June 2008 grew by £4.0 billion. Secured lending grew by £3.1 billion in the month and Consumer credit lending grew by £0.9 billion.

• The average household debt in the UK is £9,309 (excluding mortgages). This figure increases to £21,650 if the average is based on the number of households who actually have some form of unsecured loan.

• The average household debt in the UK is £58,000 (including mortgages).

• The average owed by every UK adult is £30,424 (including mortgages).

• 424 mortgage possession claims will be issued and 302 mortgage possession orders will be made today

If the above figures do not ring alarm bells in your mind, you are bound to regret not taking steps to liquidate your debt in the near future. It is not I who is sounding the alarm but noted economists and finance barons. The faster we get rid of debt the better. As the unemployment rates rise and panic sets in the financial markets, the tools which are available at present will disappear making repayment all the more difficult for many.

The government in the UK is meanwhile reacting on predictable lines. From the measures taken till now, it is obvious that they are intent on bailing out the Banks and taking short term action rather than finding long term solutions to the problems. The fat bonuses which directors of sick banks have inked for themselves may have elicited horrific uproar from the public, but with limited response by government officials in the UK.

The way out is to clear our personal debt before it is too late. You deserve debt freedom, it is good for you, good for society and good for the World.

Protect yourself from the mounting crisis.


You cannot fail to be aware of the mounting crisis in the economy. The Bank of England has now cut interest rates to the lowest level ever at just 1%, in a bid to get people and businesses to spend more money.

The problem is that whilst many people have the advantage of lower mortgage payments, the cost of personal loans and credit cards is actually rising.

MBNA the largest provider of credit cards in the UK has been raising its rates steadily for months and many of their customers are finding that when the 0% rate finishes on new cards, the APR is suddenly 36% or more, much higher that advertised when they originally took out the agreement.

America Express has been doing the same thing with its customers, with interest rates as high as 46% APR, when they started at less than 17%.

Business failures are running at almost 22,000 for 2008, the highest level since the recession of 1992, with a much higher level expected in 2009.

The Financial Times today reported:
“The number of people who declared themselves insolvent was broadly the same as in 2007, at 106,544. This equates to around one in every 400 adults.

However, there was a sharp rise in the fourth quarter as 29,444 individuals declared themselves bankrupt or took out an Individual Voluntary Arrangement – up 18.5 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2007. This suggests that the numbers are likely to increase in 2009 as unemployment rises, placing further strain on over-indebted consumers.”

What does this mean for ordinary people?

In simple terms it means that the cost of unsecured debts like personal loans and credit cards is rising, whilst people ability to pay them is declining.

The only real advice for people is to get out of debt and build up the security of their income.

There are several way to secure your income, firstly, it is advisable to diversify your income sources, this can mean taking on a second job, or starting your own part time business working from home.

Obviously you need to make sure that you are able to keep you full time job, so you must be careful how you decide to create income, for example, if your current job finished at 5:30 and you take on another job starting a 6pm and finishing a 2am, you are not going to be able to get enough sleep and general rest, which could have a big affect on you performance at work and the quality of your life.

Therefore choose your work carefully and ensure that you will enjoy it.

When it comes to getting out of debt fast there are a number of options, including getting you personal debts written off. This simply means that the bank decides that they cannot collect the money and so the write it off. If this is done in the correct way it also will not affect your credit rating.

So take action now! Don’t wait until the “stuff hits the fan”, plan now to set yourself free to live your life without fear or stress.

To your future,
Chris

In Answer To A Couple Of Questions About Debt Write-off

First Questions…

Today I was asked about loans in Ireland and if we can help people in the Republic get their debts written off legally and ethically as we can in the UK.

Unfortunately this is not possible at this time, because the laws in Ireland are not the same as in the UK, so the same process doesn't work there. It is a shame because in the research I have been doing over the last 18 months, I have come to realise that the way money is used as a form of bondage, not just for Third World countries but also for individuals in the First World, I have really become a little evangelical about it. It is similar to the way that doctors in Victorian times thought that it was healthy for people to smoke tobacco and take opium on a daily basis; today it is perpetual debt that is the curse of human life. In Victorian times people became addicts to drugs, thinking it was good, now people have become trapped by debt in the same way. See the move “Money as Debt” on our website. http://www.ideservedebtfreedom.com/index.php?name=moneyasdebt

Second Questions…

I was also asked about whether debt write-off would damage your credit rating. That partly depends on the technique used and the attitude of the bank. We use a system that seeks to avoid any adverse reports and ends in your credit rating being cleaned up on completion of the process. The unfortunate fact is that, even though it is completely illegal, the banks will endeavour to damage your credit rating. However, once the process is complete and they have been forced to write off the debt, your credit rating is then cleared up.

I have been amazed at the cavalier disregard the banks have to the law, which is why they are in this crazy position whereby about 85% of the loans they have made over the past decades are completely unenforceable.

I truly believe that the actions of individuals to hold them accountable will finally force them to obey the law and treat customers with respect.

As I said in one of my previous posts, Paul Flynn, MP for Newport West commented in the House of Commons, "Having checked the numbers of robberies and muggings in the past year, I can say with certainty that the public are much more likely to be robbed by the financial services industry than by burglars or muggers. The difference is that criminal theft is usually a single event, but robbery by financial institutions continues every week for decades." (Hansard Report – 11th June 2002). This is the simple truth, crazy as it sounds, but true all the same.

My single aim is to set as many people as possible free from personal debt, so if you or anyone you know needs help let me know, I really want to help.

To your freedom!

How To Make Money By Helping Others ...

Did you know that a recent study suggested that the quickest way to a high income is to help people solve problems in their lives?

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the debt crisis in the UK is far deeper than many previously thought. And it is a problem that is increasing daily.

Did you know that Britain's personal debt is increasing by £1million every 5 minutes? Did you also know that over 300 people are going bankrupt every day; that’s about one person every 4 minutes?

The problem with the banks is very much about the way in which they have been lending money for more than 25 years. Their lack of consideration for simple economics has lead to a cash-flow crisis that is now being bridged by both existing lenders and the tax payer.

For example, some MBNA card holders are facing shock interest charges as high as 35% when their 0% deals come to an end, and American Express now has interest rates as high as 46%.

The only real solution for most ordinary people is to get out of debt as quickly as possible, and the government has thrown every one of us a helping hand by clarifying the requirements of the banks. This is where you come in, now you can become a claims management Agent and earn real money by helping others.

"Failure by a lender to observe strictly, the intricate requirements of the Act can lead to a loan being completely unenforceable with no right of restitution or other form of relief"
Lord Justice Clarke, 2002

What this means is that ordinary people can get all their debts written off, without having to repay a single penny more; completely legally and ethically.

Paul Flynn, MP for Newport West commented in the House of Commons, "Having checked the numbers of robberies and muggings in the past year, I can say with certainty that the public are much more likely to be robbed by the financial services industry than by burglars or muggers. The difference is that criminal theft is usually a single event, but robbery by financial institutions continues every week for decades." (Hansard Report – 11th June 2002)

Getting out of debt is a not just about personal freedom; it is also about helping the economy. After all if you are not paying your hard earned wages to the banks, you will be out spending it and boosting the retail sector and creating employment, or saving it and thus creating much needed investment capital.

The process of clearing un-enforceable credit agreements is fast and for most people far more painless than paying them.

Now you can earn a substantial income by help individuals and the economy. Take a look at our website at: http://www.IDeserveMoneyNow.com

Have you ever felt like life would be much easier without debt?

How much money do your debts cost you each month?
What would you do with that money if you weren’t paying it to the banks?

The simple truth is that life should not be about working 40 hours a week to pay the banks; life is about doing the things that bring you happiness.

I learned the hard way that life does not always go the way you want it to and that sometimes the road can suddenly turn and take you in a direction you don’t want to go. When my business started to struggle it was a simple matter of investing a little extra money to see it through the rough times and push on to the better times. Unfortunately the good times didn’t come and soon it was a case of keeping the business going to make sure that the debts were paid, which is not the right reason at all.

In the end I lost everything, but I decided that I would make sure that I learned enough about the way money works to make sure I never have to suffer like that again. Now I realise that if I had known what I know now I never would have had to loose anything, I could have fought the banks and I am sure I would have won!

Now all I can do is work to help ensure nobody else has to needlessly suffer the way I did. The team of specialist we have put together have many years of experience in the sectors of finance, banking, litigations and negotiation. This means that we have developed a unique way of approaching the banks that means that we avoid going to court in most cases and have so far achieved a 100% success rate on every case we have accepted. Check out http://www.IDeserveMoneyNow.com now.

It is my sincerest wish that we are able to help every one that we can and to set people free to live more fulfilling and rewarding lives.

To your financial freedom,
Chris

2009 could be the best year for you.... Debt Free

Do you know someone who is struggling with debt? Maybe yourself? Working long hours just to keep your head above water? Then you are not alone!

Did you know that January is the busiest time of year for people seeking solutions for debt problems? Unfortunately many seek help such as Bankruptcy, IVA, Debt Management, Debt Consolidation. This is because most people do not know that the majority of unsecured, personal debts are not valid and do not need to be repaid…. And of course the banks don’t want you to know it.

"Failure by a lender to observe strictly, the intricate requirements of the Act can lead to a loan being completely unenforceable with no right of restitution or other form of relief" - Lord Justice Clarke, 2002

You may have started to notice an increase in the number of companies around offering solutions to debt, and an increase in the amount of advertising by banks and loans companies trying to sell new debts.

Lenders over the past few years have increasingly been offering secured consolidation loans for unsecured debts, shifting debts from unenforceable agreements like credit cards into what the lenders believe to be more secure enforceable loans. Do not risk losing your home because you have not been able to repay your unsecured credit debts.

It is a sad fact that debt is an increasing problem, one that is destroying the lives of more and more people. This year it is expected that more people will be forced into personal bankruptcy than ever before, averaging over 300 people every day!

The simple truth is that for many of these people, bankruptcy, IVA, Debt Consolidation or Debt Management, are not needed because the alleged debts they are suffering under do not actually exist. Sounds amazing doesn’t it, but it’s true.

Whilst navigating the legalities of these alleged agreements is a specialist task, once the banks know that the irregularities have been exposed they often simply write-off the debt there and then.

If you are wondering if your alleged debts or the alleged debts of someone you care about can be completely written-off, quickly, legally and ethically, check out the site at: http://www.IDeserveDebtFreedom.com/

We have recently added another video called Zeitgeist Addendum in the Information section, a video I would highly recommend that you watch.

To your freedom,
Chris
