Hello, My name is Oni. I was a victim of a dirty bad housing fraud back in 2003. This woman who I will not name on my website was pretending to be me, and take over my identity she lived in the city of Palmdale California Not only did this person purchase a home in Palmdale California under my credit profile' but she also took out credit cards in my name, and also took out many loans on the home she bought with my credit information Then she did the worst thing to my credit profile she went to Bankruptcy court-filed documents in my name and credit profile. I only found out when trying to use a credit card I had not used in many years. I called this cardholder to find out my limit so I could make a purchase for my husband's Christmas gift. But to my surprise, this cardholder told me I had no credit limit on this card because I filed for bankruptcy last month in September of 2003. I stated to the company cardholder there must be some mistake I do not own a home at this time and lived in a townhouse over 100 miles away from where this bankruptcy took place. He stated to me yes we have updates on the cardholders monthly, and we took away all of the credit limits from this card and closed my account down. Now was I very pissed off, angry to find out that not only did someone use my name but they purchase a home in my name, and also filed Bankruptcy on credit profiles. I then went to the net to find out if I really own a house in my name. I got myself an updated credit history report. I found out this guy was right I did own a home in Palmdale, and I filed Bankruptcy by their records this was correct. I was so upset since I was in the process of building a home out in the high desert, was in the process of getting a loan with my credit score being 750 with 3 open accounts in good credit standings. My next move was to prove who I was, and where I lived for over 10 years. A police report was filed in the city where I live at this time in 2003. I gave the police my fingerprints at the Long Beach police department, and my handwriting so that I would have this on file for my court case. Someone was going to pay for what was done to me. I contacted the loan people and told them who I was and that I wanted them to remove this from my credit profile since have not filled out any type of paperwork with them on any loans. They laugh at me and said I should have paid my payment on this home that this low-down dirty woman bought in my name, and credit profile. I then called the Bankruptcy court where the case took place. Nice men there asked me, for the social security number I gave him my number he did a deep search, could not find any kind of files with my SSI, Are Bankruptcy filed in my name at all. I then gave him the credit reports I purchased online. He said this was not my Bankruptcy at all there were 3 numbers turned around but it was a close match but The name was very different spelled among other things. He said I am going to send you out a report of the Bankruptcy that was in your name but not SSN. I contacted a law firm on this matter. I had tried many times to over, and over to work things out with the bank over this huge mix-up. They lied to me after I went out, and paid for services to help them get their funds back from this house that did not belong to me at all since this was in my name, social. I got sick, and tired of the banks after they sold this home while I was on vacation out of the states. A call was left on my home phone that they lied to the people I paid to help them get their money back from this fraud identity case done in my name. After all this big mess with my credit profile, I had to get help from a law firm who I told my story and handed him the proof I could have never done this bankruptcy in court I was taking class finals over a 100 mile plus away, and the handwriting did not match my writing at all. We went to court I took everyone to court on this matter. I wanted my credit fixed, and I was not taking any more crap from anyone over this home a loan that someone did in my name. I won my case in court, and that was easy to do since I went back to the court where the Bankruptcy had been done in the first place. The Judge who did the Bankruptcy remembers the case and the women that came on the day of the Bankruptcy hearing, and Guess what I was not the woman that came into her court at all, she told them, creditors, that this is not the woman that came into this court, and filed bankruptcy. She told them to clean up my credit reports, and that she needed to see these reports for the next couple of months if they should show back up my attorney would contact her again on this matter. The judge said any fool can see the handwriting does not match the police handwriting files, and the fingerprints did not match sure do not match this on other fraud documents that this woman had done in my name. I am proof the judge said this woman in my court today. I have never seen before in my court room until today, and she is not the person who did this Bankruptcy in this case? The judge made them pay me, and also fix all my credit back like it was before all this happen, and they had 2 weeks to do it, and the judge wanted all my credit reports in 2 weeks show they took all these loans and negative stuff off my reports. My reports were back to normal but I had to stay up on it every few months. The loans were sold again, and again. I got many collectors trying to collect on a court case that had been settled because they sold the loans over, and over again in my name. I wrote everyone who put things on my profile that they had a week to get it off or I would have them in court for trying to collect on loans done in my identity being stolen, and that was not mine, the court has cleared up this matter. I had no problems at all the stuff was taken off right away. But I still keep up with all the credit cards I do own and monitor my credit profiles every. few months, taking time to write these people back was a big every few months task for me. This is the reason I made a website to share my store of how my credit report was destroyed by fraud. Dirtybadcreditreport.com I hope my credit story can help those who have been going through fraud among other types of credit problems, remember this fraud is everywhere, no one is safe out in this world today.

Credit Auto Loan with Disability Income

Getting approved for a car loan can be a difficult process if you have bad credit. It can even be more complicated if you receive disability income. However, it is not impossible.

Many people on disability who have bad credit have successfully financed a vehicle. You can potentially do the same if you meet certain requirements an

Before you consider financing a vehicle on disability, you should know the initial requirements. To start, you need to have proof of being on disability for at least six months before applying for a car loan. Additionally, you must be able to show that you will continue to receive this income for the full loan term.

It is also a common requirement that you need to have another source of income that can be garnished. However, there are other options if you only receive money from disability.

A Garnishable Income or Co signer

Co-Signer

Co-Signer

 work with a car dealership that is willing to assist subprime car buyers.

If you do not have any garnishable income, the next step would be to find a co-signer. A co-signer is typically someone close to you that agrees to take financial responsibility if you miss payments or default on the loan. While a co-signer will make it easier to get approved for a car loan, he or she risks their credit rating in the process.

Buy Here Pay Here Dealerships

Even if you do not have a garnishable income or co-signer, you may still be able to get approved through a buy here pay here dealership. Buy here pay here dealerships typically work with individuals that have any source of regular income. You will need to have a down payment, proof of residence, proof of insurance and a valid driver’s license.

Getting approved at one of these dealerships is easier, but there are disadvantages. You may have to pay quite a bit more than a vehicle is worth over the course of the loan. Additionally, you may have to finance an older vehicle and with higher mileage than what you had initially wanted.

However, the benefits of these dealers may ultimately outweigh the disadvantages. They can potentially get you in a vehicle and many of them report your loan and payments to the credit bureaus. This means you can improve your credit with each timely payment.

Hidden Risks in Your Credit Cards

In a way, there’s a parallel between corporations mandating arbitration cases and the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) process placed into international trade agreements. Under this process, corporations can sue sovereign governments if they believe regulations violate the terms of the trade agreement. Like arbitration, ISDS stays outside national courts, and corporations can win cash awards based on expectations of future profits lost through the regulatory changes. Private lawyers, not judges, hear the cases. 

So the lesson here is that corporations don’t respect the judicial system as much as they want to bend it to their advantage. As 100 law professors wrote in a letter to Congress and the U.S. Trade Representative this week, ISDS “grants foreign corporations a special legal privilege,” weakening the rule of law. You can say the same things about mandatory arbitration clauses. In both cases, corporations can step outside the legal system and into a process they feel they can control, whether to chill regulations or to stop individuals from suing for relief. 

Both ISDS and consumer arbitration have no appeals process. They feature no public oversight of the arbitrators. They create no precedent on corporations that they must follow. So there’s no accountability, no review and no fairness. The only difference is that ISDS exists as an option for corporations; consumers have no alternative but arbitration. 

The good news is we have a consumer agency now that has managed to study arbitration, with a focus on how it affects ordinary people, not the financial industry. I hope they finish the job. 

Credit Card Debt Trap

There was no joy like that last mortgage payment, and our parents prided themselves on burning that paper, hopefully before they retired.

These days, baby boomers increasingly are carrying that debt into retirement.

And while there are pluses to that (the interest rate deduction for some), many financial planners now advise their clients to pay off the mortgage. But they are much more concerned with credit-card, auto-loan and student-loan debt.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says the percentage of homeowners ages 65 and older with mortgage debt increased from 22 percent in 2001 to 30 percent in 2011. Among homeowners 75 and older, the rate more than doubled, from 8.4 to 21.2 percent.

And the median mortgage debt for seniors increased by 82 percent, from about $43,400 to $79,000.

The CFPB said, in a report last year, that rising mortgage debt is “threatening the retirement security of millions of older Americans. In general, older consumers are carrying more debt, including mortgage, credit card and even student loan debt, into their retirement years.”

It’s a trend that distresses financial planners and retirement planners.

“My philosophy with regard to debt is when you retire your debt should be retired,” says Ken Moraif, senior adviser at Money Matters in North Dallas, Tex. “We really adhere to that with our clients. If they have debt, we want to embark on a journey of getting it paid down and maybe working longer to generate the cash flow to accelerate the payments to get it paid off.”

Moraif says one of the dangers of retiring with mortgage debt is that the economy and markets may turn bad.

“The money you thought would be there to service your mortgage is not there,” he says. “Now what? I’m sure the bank will not say, ‘I will let you live there for free.’ ”

James Gambaccini, financial adviser at Acorn Financial Services in Reston, Va., notes a stark difference between baby boomers retiring today and their Depression-era parents.

“People who lived through the Depression wouldn’t think about retirement without having all their debt cleared,” he says. “Boomers are not only fine with it, but prior to the crash, they tried to retire with a lot of debt. We had people trying to retire and build that dream home of 15,000 square feet. That is somewhat unique to baby boomers.”

Mark Hebner, president of Index Fund Advisors, says the retirees with the least amount of stress and the most financial freedom are those with the lowest fixed expenses.

“One of the problems with debt is it contributes to your fixed expenses in retirement,” he says. “The more you have, the less room you have for variable expenses, such as entertainment and travel.”

So what can you do if you’re preparing for retirement and believe you have too much debt?

Reduce expenses. “What we like to do is see how we can pay down that debt to their comfort zone,” says Roger Stinnett, managing director of planning at First Foundation Advisors in Los Angeles. “We will create a budget. Where can we reduce other expenses so we have more cash flow to apply toward paying debt?”

Pay off credit cards first. “For sure, you have to pay that off,” Moraif says. “You cannot have $20,000 in credit-card debt and pay that out of your retirement.”

Pay down the mortgage faster. If you’re an avid saver, it may make sense to redirect some of that money you’re putting into your retirement savings to pay down your mortgage earlier.

Delay retirement or work part time to pay off the debt. “I advise clients to keep working to pay off debt,” Moraif says. “Maybe spend another six months or year working. You will spend the rest of your life with no debt. It’s worth it.”

As Stinnett puts it: “We want our clients to sleep well in retirement. If you can sleep well with no debt, then that is the answer.”
