DEBT STATISTICS In December 2018, U.S. consumer debt rose 5 percent to $3.01 trillion. That surpassed last month's record of $3.994 trillion. Of this, $2.966 trillion was non-revolving debt, and it rose 6 percent. Most nonrevolving debt is education and auto loans. In December 2018, school debt totaled $1.569 trillion and auto loans were $1.155 trillion.
26
DEBT STATISTICS Credit card debt totaled $1.045 trillion, increasing 2 percent. It exceeds the record of $1.02 trillion set in 2008. But credit card debt is only 26 percent of total debt. It was 38 percent of total debt in 2008. The Federal Reserve reports on consumer debt each month. Here are historical statistics by month since 1943.
27
DEBT STATISTICS Statistics
You get a free credit counseling session They work with the Creditor to come up with a plan. Reduce your interest rates and lower your payments Prevent late fees and over the limit fees Pay off your debt in most cases within 5 years Consolidate your unsecured debt into one easy monthly payment
28
DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN PROGRAM 5 year plan possibly more in rare cases
Low fees: $5.00 per account, Up to $39.00 dollars to set up an account.
You make one payment to the Credit Counseling Agency and they disperse it to the creditor on your behalf. One payment per month.
DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN REQUIREMENTS You must be able to budget the plan payment based on your current income and expenses. Not Everyone qualifies for the program
They set up the Debt Management plan that make sense for you They send the proposal to the creditors Creditors will verify that Credit Counselors have done there job correctly
DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN REQUIREMENTS They approve the plan and you start making payments to them
If the accounts are collections they will stay in collections
Some revolving and installment accounts not charged off or in collections can be reset after 3 or more payments made as agreed
CREDIT COUNSELING Participating in a consumer credit counseling program does not disqualify a Borrower from obtaining an FHA-insured Mortgage
CREDIT COUNSELING REQUIREMENTS One year of the pay-out period has elapsed under the plan The Borrower’s payment performance has been satisfactory and all required payments have been made on time the Borrower has received written permission from the counseling agency to enter into the mortgage transaction
So what is the challenge?
None really it just depends.
STATUTE OF LIMITATION
WHEN DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS START RUNNING? The statute of limitations clock starts ticking when a cause of action “accrues.” This usually means when you “breach,” or break, the contract by not doing something you agreed to do, such as missing a payment.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS A statute of limitations is a law that tells you how long someone has to sue you. In California, most credit card companies and their debt collectors have only four years to do so. Once that period elapses, the credit card company or collector loses its right to file a lawsuit against you. However, there are certain things that you or the creditor might do that could reset or extend the statute of limitations. In order to avoid giving the credit card company more time to sue you, it’s important to understand how the statute of limitations works in California.
WHEN DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS START RUNNING? The statute of limitations clock starts ticking when a cause of action “accrues.” This usually means when you “breach,” or break, the contract by not doing something you agreed to do, such as missing a payment.
WHEN DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS START RUNNING? In California, the statute of limitations may start running on any one of these three events:
the due date of your missed payment (this is the most likely starting date)
the date of your last purchase
the date of your last payment
WHEN DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS START RUNNING? In most cases, the statute of limitations calculation starts when your first missed payment becomes due. In some cases, however (the details of which are beyond the scope of this article), the statute begins running on either the date of your last purchase or when you made your last payment. Since these dates often occur close together, in most cases, it doesn’t make a difference. If, however, using one of these dates causes the statute of limitations to expire before your credit card company filed its lawsuit, it may be worthwhile to contact legal counsel to see if that start date applies to your situation.
39
WHEN DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS START RUNNING? Your credit card company gives you additional time to pay. If your credit card company gives you additional time to make your payment, this might extend the statute of limitations by delaying its start. For example, if you miss a payment on January 1, your creditor may extend your payment due date to April 1. Even if you never make that April 1 payment, the creditor could later argue that the additional time it gave you to pay extended the start date of the statute of limitations to April 1.

WHEN DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS START RUNNING? Reviving the Statute of Limitations
You make a payment after not paying for a period of time
• With credit card contracts, it is normal to make periodic payments. Because of this, you have to be careful that you don’t reset the statute of limitations period without meaning to.
• Once you stop paying, the statute of limitations begins running. If, however, you make a payment down-the-road, the statute of limitations resets to zero.
WHEN DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS START RUNNING? You make a new promise to pay in writing • After the statute of limitations expires, the credit card company may ask you to sign an agreement promising that you will pay the debt. You do not have to do so (and rarely would you want to). But if you do sign such an agreement it creates a new contract that obligates you to repay the debt. The statute of limitations on the old agreement is no longer relevant. If you default on a payment under the new contract, the statute of limitations begins running from that date.
WHEN DOES THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS START RUNNING? You waive the statute of limitations in writing
• Before the statute of limitations runs out, the creditor may ask you to sign a document extending it for an additional period. If you sign such a document, the creditor gets additional time to sue you. There are limits, however, on the length of the extension, which is usually four years.
