I owe about 50,000 in credit card debt. I am not sure if I should try to take out a loan at 10.5% or call a debt consolidation company.

 

a thousand phone calls

15 years 6 months ago
Yeah, I'm one of the many getting repeated calls. I have caller ID so, I don't answer 866, etc. prefixes. Sometimes a message is left, many times not. I have a feeling these calls are an attempt to collect on a defaulted account from 1993. My question is, after 7 years, isn't a dept washed out? I have stellar current credit, but had some money issues in the early 90's. Also, if I answer the phone and politely ask them to not call anymore, isn't illegal for them to do so?

 

Bella/mt view financial

15 years 6 months ago
I signed with them (bella) in june 2008; they filed bankruptcy in may 2010 after settling one credit card; they owe me $4000. They filed chapter here in texas and re-opened in delaware under mt view financial with the same owner, same employees- same office! I went in personally and they acted like they didn't know me, i have called and e-mailed owner mike hauser and rita moore-barber repeatedly. I filed an ag complaint and bbb. Bbb doesn't help much, hope the ag does. They do not have the professionalism to respond and they even spelled "consulting " wrong on their website...

 

Ally Bank

15 years 6 months ago
I saw a commercial for Ally Bank on TV and looked at their website. They offer higher than average rates for savings accounts, free debit cards, free checks, no ATM fees and seem like a good bank. I opened an account, and other than one minor glitch with the security questions (they couldn't identify me so I had to call in), they opened my account and sent my welcome back. Does anyone (MCA?) know anything about them? I'm on EWS, so I'm not sure if I should worry about my account being closed later on...thoughts? comments? experiences?

Journalist seeking interviews on personal stories about debt problems/foreclosure

15 years 6 months ago
Hello, I'm a New York-based reporter working on a book about the global financial crisis. I'm eager to meet with people in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area to talk about their experiences with debt problems, with mortgage lenders, with banks, with foreclosure proceedings. The book will address how big distortions in the global financial system have undermined ordinary hardworking people everywhere. And in trying to raise awareness of these issues, it will argue for an internationally focused reform agenda.
