So I looked the I 91 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 4: looked at the report and I saw some things that 92 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 4: were there, one being the United States Department of Education. 93 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 4: They had a loan on there that you know.

That ratio was high, 99 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: so I got that knocked off. Uh, And then I 100 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: started looking the other things. I started educating myself and 101 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: one of the things I was looking at, I was like, wait, 102 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,119 Speaker 4: they have credit cards on there, but that's not mine. 103 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: I'm just an authorized user for that card. So that 104 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 4: debt was added on to it.

Right, quickly found out no, it wasn't. 196 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: But and it's important too, Like so that FCO score. 197 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 4: Like I was able to get a car because my 198 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 4: the Fycal score that they would use was like maybe 199 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 4: FICO four, right, So that was for car landing. I 200 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 4: was able to get a car. I was able to 201 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: get credit cards because they used FYCO six. Right, But 202 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 4: if I wanted a home, I wasn't good. And that's 203 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 4: something I don't think people really know. Man. 204 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole vantage system how it works. You see 205 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: the things with each credit virors, they create their own 206 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 2: score off of the bat is reported to that, so 207 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: not every bank reports the all three viewers. That's why 208 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: one score is gonna be higher than the other one. 209 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 2: But then for the real day of a mortgage, that's 210 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: my fighter because it's giving you the overall picture in 211 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: one snapshot, right. 212 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 4: So that's important. So like if you're trying to get 213 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 4: a home, make sure you check your fighter school. 214 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: Now and don't wait till last minute. 215 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 4: Don't wait. 216 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: Ye gotta know what you gotta know beforehand. 217 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: So my story is a little less anybody that all right, 218 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: So me and trying to have a good dynamic because 219 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: Choy is like a real. 220 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: He's like a good guy. 221 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, he has like a model family, like you know, 222 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: he has a house and you got the whole thing. 223 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm a little more radical, So my story is a 224 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: little bit more radical. And I'm gonna tell you this 225 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: story and don't try this sound par discretion. 226 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: This was years ago, right, I was young and I 227 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 3: needed money for an investment. 228 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: I need like thirty thousand dollars for an investment, right, 229 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: and at the time I didn't really have any money 230 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: like that. 231 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: I had some money saved to go into my stating. 232 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: Right, So I'm like Okay, where gonna get thirty thousand 233 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: dollars from? 234 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: Right? 235 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: So I trying to get a bank loan that didn't work, 236 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I really don't have anybody I can 237 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: call thirty thousand dollars from. So I'm like, but I 238 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: gotta get thirty thousand. So at the time, I had 239 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: really good credit. I still have good credit. I have 240 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: really good credit. So I got cash events from one 241 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: credit card. 242 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: Let me see this. 243 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: So I got cash advance with one credit I was 244 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: like two thousand dollars. So I'm like, you know what, 245 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: run it up? So I spent two days applying to 246 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: every credit card that I cant right, and I got 247 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: to I got approved from every credit card that I 248 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: applied for. I got like twelve credit cards in the 249 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: course of a weekend, and it was like two thousand 250 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: and five thousand, seven thousands. But by the end of 251 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: three days, I had thirty thousand dollars in cash advances. 252 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: But I didn't know what before I did that, and 253 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people still don't know. Is that so 254 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: with the cash events, well, let me back it up. 255 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: It was ah, they had they were they were all 256 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: running specials that you can balance transfer balance transfer specials 257 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: with zero percent interest for like eighteen months, twelve months, 258 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: twenty four months, right, But a lot of times people 259 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: don't realize that with the balanced transfers, you can actually 260 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: take a cash advance and you don't pay any interest 261 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: for eighteen months. Very dangerous because at the end of 262 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: the eighteen months, now all of those other months have 263 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: Now you got to pay the interest for the back 264 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: eighteen months, so you gotta be careful with that. It's 265 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: like twenty percent interest. But long story short, that it 266 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: all figured out. So I said, okay, look, this is 267 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: a thirty thousand dollars loan that I'm gonna get interest 268 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: free for eighteen to twenty four months. If I can't 269 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: flip that in two years, shame on me. So long 270 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: story short, I leveraged myself to the tilt and I did. 271 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 3: A very speculative investor. 272 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: Wely go into what it was, but it was highly 273 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: speculative and the results of it I'll tell on a 274 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: different podcasts, But I say this to say the power 275 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: of credit. I wouldn't be able to raise thirty thousand 276 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: dollars in a week getting true in my twenties if 277 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: it wasn't for credit. 278 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 3: Right, So credit can be a very powerful tool if 279 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 3: you use properly. 280 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't recommend anybody do what I 281 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: did because that was extremely dangerous. 282 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 4: I hope did that. So you have to go. 283 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, but but just know that there are a lot 284 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: of different tactics that you can use and you have 285 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: to be careful. But it can you know, you can 286 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: make you can make money off of it. The key 287 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: is to make money with other people's money. 288 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 4: That's my favorite line I think you've ever said. Hold 289 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 4: the podcast, it was like powerful too, very dangerous. 290 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: It's very dangerous. All right. 291 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: So now we're gonna go into some we're gonna we're 292 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: gonna start, we're gonna chop it up, and we're gonna 293 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: break it down. So you talked about FCO score, right, 294 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: can you just explain the FCO. 295 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: So FYCO is fair isaacredit company. They don't want to 296 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: creates the whole score from all three viewers for you. 297 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 2: They use the latest vantage, but it'll be vantage ten, 298 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: vantage eight that we're using that we ad vantage ten. 299 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: They use the latest vantage. So what is it? What 300 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 3: is that? Because people might not know what. 301 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: So it's the way the score is created that that's 302 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: put into the score. So they don't pick every single 303 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: like let's say your marketing Express card. Certain cards they 304 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: pick up and they create the score. So the department 305 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: that's why I speak by the department store card, they 306 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: don't have your credit that much, So stay away from them. 307 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: Stay into the basa of the master guards and so forth. 308 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: Those are the ones that create the score for you. 309 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: And then your payment history, how much new credit you have, utilization, 310 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: that's all that's calculated to it. 311 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so all right, So as far as like, 312 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: there's different factors that determine your credit score, right right, correct? 313 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: What is some of the key factor is that people 314 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: should be aware of. 315 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: One of the major factors I see this on everyone's 316 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: credit report is utilization. Just like you were talking about. 317 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 2: You know, you need to keep your utilization under thirty percent. 318 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: Once you start hitting thirty one thirty two percent of 319 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: that utilization, your score drops significantly and it takes two 320 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: months STU billing cycles for it to go up unless 321 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 2: you call the bank, like you didn't ask them just 322 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: to do a courtesy for your A lot of people 323 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: don't know how to do that right or they don't 324 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: they don't know they could do that. So one of 325 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 2: them is a keep the utilization very low thirty percent 326 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: or below. Let's see you have five cards and excuse me, 327 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: and you instead of use putting all the charges on 328 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 2: one card, split it across three cards to keep it 329 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: under thirty percent. Your score will stay high. Second thing 330 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: is increase six increases a year. If you do more 331 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: than that, your score drops each increase two point five points. Right, 332 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: and banks only give you what this the other banks 333 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: give you. So if you apply for in your scenario, 334 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: if you do that now, it would have been hard 335 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: for you to get all those cards, right because banks 336 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: are title giving our credit. So banks don't give you 337 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: what this the other banks will give you. So let's 338 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: say you apply for City Bank or Chase today. You 339 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: got to deny it. There's an increa there. If another 340 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: bank don't see a card open up, they're not going 341 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: to extend the credit to you, right, So new credit 342 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: all right? 343 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: So so thirty percent. 344 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: So if you have ten thousand dollars in credit available, 345 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: only use three thousand, correct, that's pretty much. 346 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: Not with one last thing. 347 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: Also, like if you're trying to build your score and 348 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: you're in the six fifty, you're lingering around the six 349 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: to fifty range. You shouldn't pay off your card in 350 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: full every month because the bank needs to make the 351 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 2: bank needs to make a little bit of interest off 352 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 2: of you to report okay on your credit report history. Correct, 353 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: it's only until you're like a seven to fifty, a 354 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: highest score you can pay your card off in full 355 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: because your score is already built. But if you're in 356 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: the six fifteen, you're trying to raise it. 357 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: Don't pay the card off. 358 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: Can you just explain that, because that's actually the first 359 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: time I'm hearing that in detail. 360 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 3: Like, so you don't pay. 361 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 2: Off the credit card on full every month, like every 362 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: other month. You could pay it off in full? Why 363 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: not very well, because the bank wouldn't report okay on 364 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: the credit report. On the slot that says okay, I'll 365 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: say no data. No data is like no credit okay. 366 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: So you have to like trick the system that will 367 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: make a little bit of interest off you. Because remember, 368 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: the bank's in the business making money, right, right, and 369 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: that's why they charge these interest rates. 370 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 4: So they want to see that your valued customer over 371 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 4: a period of time exactly, right. So if I have 372 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 4: a thousand dollars and I maxed out a thousand and 373 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 4: I pay a thousand. That's not really showing. 374 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: Anything exactly, and that's not helping them. There not making money. 375 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: So there's no sentence for them to report. Okay, on 376 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: the credit bord you have to report to have a 377 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 2: zero balance. Don't have that, Okay, That green mark on 378 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: your credit board is it is no data, okay, and 379 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 2: don't The way you see that is actually from the 380 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 2: credit report from the viewers. You wouldn't see it on 381 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: like a mortgage report or on your ownline reports. When 382 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: you pull the actual report from the viewers is when 383 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: you see. 384 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 3: That, all right. All right? 385 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: So now all right, so you got some framework and 386 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: then you got some interesting stories to me and Troy. 387 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: But now we're going to we're going to dive deep 388 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: into the the to the world of credit and yeah, 389 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: we're going to hopefully drop some gyms that can save 390 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: you guys a lot of time and money. 391 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 4: Depends the paths. Get ready, all right, So now we're 392 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 4: going to get into the part that most people aren't 393 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 4: aware of on their credit pard that are actually happening. 394 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 4: But you know, when you make a late payment or 395 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 4: you miss a payment or you miss a few there's 396 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 4: something that's called a derogatory that's correct, So god you 397 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 4: could you want to explain the impact that that has 398 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 4: and some examples of it. 399 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: Well, the derogatory section. Everyone has that on a credit report, right, 400 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: So what do you make a late payment? And by 401 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: the way, the way they report late payments these days 402 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: have changed because back then right after thirty days the 403 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: next day you were late. Now they give you a 404 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: thirty day grace period. But if the payment is not 405 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: made before five pm the twenty ninth of the next month, 406 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: then you get reported the first thirty days. That's a derogatory, right. 407 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 2: Collections charge off. Let's say you had a credit card 408 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: for five six years. You know you were paying for 409 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: three four years, you ran into a hardship, you missed, 410 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 2: you couldn't keep up with the payments anymore, and you 411 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: miss six months of payments. It gets charged off. That's 412 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: a derogatory. Public records lawsuits judgments there as well. Yes, absolutely, 413 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 2: because if one here's the thing about student know everyone 414 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 2: keeps deferring the student loans and that's actually you shouldn't 415 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: be doing that. You should at least try to make 416 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 2: some sort of payment plan with them because now one 417 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 2: it affects your credit, your DTI because let's see, you 418 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: took out six thousand, you deferred for five years, now 419 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: your loan is ten thousand. Now you're upside down with 420 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: the loan. One Two you lay payments. Also, their report 421 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: on the credit port is the derogatory if you miss 422 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: the laate payment. So I don't suggest anyone try to 423 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 2: put the payment in defirming for too long, but if 424 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: you have to make sure you don't have a gap 425 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: where it comes out of the ferment and you're supposed 426 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: to make a payment and go back into the ferment 427 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: heed to avoid that. 428 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 4: It's tough because I mean we covered it pretty extensively, 429 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 4: Like we have millions of Americans that are in trillion 430 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 4: dollar industry, and it's like, you know, the first thing 431 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 4: is like deferment, but it only lasts six to twelve months, right, 432 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 4: and that that can affect you long term, right when 433 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 4: it's time for you to now get the home, like 434 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 4: still a loan payment as affected you try to get 435 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 4: the car student, right, they're going to see that on 436 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 4: that derogatory. 437 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: Because they calculate the monthly payment into your income. Right, 438 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: So Let's say, you know, you only make I don't know, 439 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: two thousand dollars a month or bi weekly whatever, and 440 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: your monthly payments are all your expense, including rent, food 441 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: whatever not that foods are rent bills, credit cards, it 442 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: is fifteen hundred. Now you add your student loans in there. 443 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 2: Now you only have two hundred dollars left. How are 444 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: you going to get get more? Extra are gonna come in? 445 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 4: You know? 446 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 2: So it's a debt that you really don't want to 447 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: carry with you, but we have to if you want 448 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: to try at least make some kind of payment towards it. 449 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 3: So what do the derogatories? 450 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so some of the common derogatory items are late payments. 451 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 2: Late payments, credit cards. Even I did a video about 452 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: when you move out of your apartment, how to exit 453 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 2: your apartment. Your Verizon bill, your contact is some bill, 454 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 2: all that goes on your credit repoard. There's a way 455 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: to shut everything off before you walk out of that 456 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 2: apartment so it doesn't travel. So what's the way that 457 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: you So basically, make a checklist of everything that you 458 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 2: had when you were living in an apartment cable, phone, 459 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: water or whatever. 460 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 3: A week before you move out. 461 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 2: You're supposed to call those companies and let them know 462 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 2: you're leaving, to disconnect the service on this date and 463 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 2: send you the bill. 464 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: Right. 465 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: A lot of people just walk out and leave everything 466 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 2: the Verizon bill, cable bill. You're supposed to return those boxes. 467 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 2: If you don't, you get targe. You're renting those boxes, 468 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: you don't own them. That's a stupid way of having 469 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: a debt on your credit board. Domest your credit bill. Right, 470 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: you can just return the boxes, play the final. 471 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: Bill, right, Yeah, for sure. So all right, so what 472 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: do support serving? Yeah, we get what about taxling? 473 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 2: So taxling shows up on your credit but it was 474 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: up to two years ago. They stopped reporting it, but 475 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 2: it stays in the public record. So let's say applying 476 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 2: for a mortgage, when they pull for your mortgage report, 477 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 2: they put a Lexus nexus. Your taxi show up there, 478 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: so you can affect it from getting the mortgage. But 479 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: it's not in your credit report anymore, but it stays 480 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: in public records. Successes lesus next is a company out 481 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: in Atlanta that carries all public record data for everyone. 482 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 4: Okay, okay, for. 483 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 2: All the court system, bankruptcies, everything. 484 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: So what about credit card judgments? A lot of people 485 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 3: have credit card judgments. 486 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: Oh man, listen, that's a good topic and how that happens. 487 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 2: You know, Let's say you have a credit card. I 488 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 2: go back to Chase because I did with them every day. 489 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 4: Right. 490 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 2: Let's say you have to Chase credit card for five years, 491 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: three years, you paid it. After that you went to 492 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: a harship. We can't paid no more and they went 493 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: to collections and you didn't even pay it then, right 494 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 2: before the statue limitation comes in, and every debt has 495 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,239 Speaker 2: a statue mentation, every state has a statue limitation. Right 496 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: before the statue limentation ends, it goes to an attorney. 497 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: They pick it up and obtaining a defaul judgment against 498 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: you for ten years. 499 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: So ten years, ten years, but it can be it 500 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: can be wiped off all right, even if you so 501 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: if you have the ten year judgment, it can still 502 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: be like wiped off before that ten years. 503 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely if it's resolved correct if you don't. If you 504 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 2: don't resolve it, then it can winue again. How do 505 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: you resolve it? So you got to make an agreement 506 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: with the judge, but not with the judgement attorney assume 507 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 2: you they could either go back at the court and 508 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: resolve it or resolve it over the phone. Make an 509 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: agreements that listen to that's five thousand. You know I 510 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,479 Speaker 2: can give you two thousand call of the day, all right, 511 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: so the death has to be resolved. Resolved. 512 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: That that made me think about something because we let 513 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: me keep it on the show. 514 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: Right. 515 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: So usually in our community, what happens is that you 516 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: fall on the hard times, you don't pay your bills. 517 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 3: They call you, and you don't answer the phone call. 518 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 4: You try to ignore that number. 519 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 3: But that's what that's that's what we're gonna do. That's 520 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: what that's how it do a judgment. So start of it, 521 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 3: all right. 522 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: What's your advice for people that are doing that? Like 523 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: I always tell people, you can't avoid problems. You have 524 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: to face it right, So and then especially credit card companies, 525 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: they'll work with you if you conte people still mentally, 526 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: I guess it's just nobody really wants to be embarrassed 527 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: or they don't want to even kind of go through 528 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: that if they know that they don't have the money 529 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: to pay it. So you have all right, you got 530 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: yourself in a bad situation. You can't pay your bill, 531 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: you're laid on your bills. What do you do? Like, 532 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: what's the best? 533 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 2: Here's the thing that's funny we're talking about this. A 534 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: lot of people don't want to resolve to that because 535 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 2: they've been totally You don't have to pay it that back. 536 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: It's going to disappear a lot of people. That's what 537 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: a lot of people say. You know, oh, my friends, 538 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 2: I don't want to pay it back. 539 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 3: Is the truth. 540 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 2: Yes, you have to, right, but you have to answer 541 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: the phone man like you can't. They'll work with you. 542 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 2: They wanted to work at you. 543 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 4: This is I'm just the willing to work with your 544 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 4: part is one hundred percent valid. I have friends, and 545 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 4: I mean personally, I've done it myself, like I've had 546 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 4: I've seen my interest rate go up when I was 547 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 4: in college to a point I was like, wait, oh, 548 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 4: thirty thousand dollars. I'm twenty one, right, and I'm like, 549 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: I don't know what to do. So I'm like I 550 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 4: literally was listening to how I need to have it and 551 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 4: I promise you, and I heard Andree was talking about 552 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 4: dec consolidation and I called this and I was like, 553 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 4: all right, well we'll do it. And I did it, 554 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 4: and like rather than paying at thirty right, the bankers 555 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 4: looking like, hey, can we get some money? Right, So 556 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, we agreed to amount, and I'm like, 557 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 4: all right, I'll pay that off. 558 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: There's a difference between that consolidation debt settlement. I am 559 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: not a deck into deck consolid I don't think anyone 560 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 2: should do it. And I'll tell you why. Once the 561 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: debts charged off, you have to pay something, but not 562 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: the full thing. But consumers don't know that, so they 563 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: go to de consolidating way. They make you paid the 564 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 2: whole debt over three years. You kind of just paid 565 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 2: it debt twice, Yeah, because it went insurance paid it 566 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 2: or wherever the bank resolved it, and that you paid 567 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 2: the whole thing back again to the banks. It's once 568 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 2: the debts charged off, it's better to settle to then 569 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: move on. You're five grand, we get that down to 570 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: eighteen hundred. I would rather pay that and move on 571 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: because your credit is still shot and you're not going 572 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: to get the card back. 573 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 3: Right, So I haven't paid twice. 574 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen people do it, like I've seen like 575 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 4: like you just said, like, hey I owe twenty listen, 576 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 4: I have ten, right, and the bank is like, you 577 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 4: know what, I'll take that ten rather than have nothing 578 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 4: from you for the next five years. 579 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 2: So here's a trick behind Rushot's talking about collection agencies 580 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: and attorneys do skip traits. Well, the skip trace is 581 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: where they pull your credit and they see that if 582 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 2: you're paying like, what's it called skip trace, skip trades, 583 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 2: skip t R a CE so skip trait, skip trace 584 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 2: worse like this, they want to find you when you 585 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: see where you are to serve your judgment, they pull 586 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 2: your credit, they see you have this address, that address, 587 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 2: that address. That's how the martials end up coming to 588 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 2: your house and dropping a note off, right, So they 589 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 2: see if you're paying any debts back. So now let's 590 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 2: say you're completely shot your scores five hundred. You have 591 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: every single debt out there. When they do that skip trace, 592 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: they know you're completely bro or you seem to be bro. 593 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 2: You have a better chance of getting a lower number 594 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: in that settlement because they'll take anything you want to 595 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: resolve it and keep it going. Right, if you apply 596 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: for Warrior this year, increy on there from a home 597 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: mortgage company, or you're trying to buy something, you have money, 598 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: everybody pops up. They want to settle, but they'll sell 599 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 2: at a high number, and collection agencies work on commission. 600 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 2: End of the month you get the best number. Beginner 601 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: of the month you don't. 602 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: That's so end of the month, Okay, I don't want 603 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: people to I'll let that go over your head explain that. 604 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, collection agency is working commission. It's a fifty job. 605 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: But your job is to you have to hit certain numbers. 606 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: At the end of the month, you have to hit 607 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 2: let's say a budget is thirty thousand. After that you 608 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: get commissioned. So that's why in the beginning of the month, 609 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 2: let's see, had a death for five thousand, they'll say, oh, 610 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: we can only settle for forty five hundred four thousand. 611 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: Come that to the last five days of a month, 612 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 2: that same debth for eighteen hundred dollars. But you can't 613 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: get off your credit report because the loss states whether 614 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 2: you pay or don't pay something, it stays on your 615 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 2: credit port for seven years.

Send dispute letters with 676 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: no letterhead. So yeah, I think about that. If I'm 677 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 2: paying you ninety nine dollars, you said I'm gonna fix 678 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: your credit, Why is only the instructions on letterhead but 679 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: not the level you sent to the credit beer on letterhead? 680 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: Look like I'm sending the letter one two. If you 681 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,719 Speaker 2: ever read those dispute letters, it's like your ten year 682 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: old kid wrote it. 683 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 3: Right. 684 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: So, for example, let's say Verizon, you have a Verizon bill, 685 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 2: you have Verizon home service, cable internet, whatever it is 686 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 2: that you have a Verizon right for over a year. 687 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: All of a sudden you moved out. You didn't pay 688 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 2: the bill because you didn't return the box on the 689 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: final bills, and you have this on your credit report. 690 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: Verizon have a collection for you. They're gonna write a letter, 691 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 2: please validate this debt. I never had this debt. Well 692 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: what do you have for the last twelve months? So 693 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 2: everything has a pay per trail behind it, right, So 694 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: that's what a level never works. Not a letter goes 695 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 2: to the credit virrs. The credit viewer sends it to 696 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: the Verizon rising sends back your whole statement in the 697 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 2: digital file, your checks that you made paymentswater. They even 698 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: keep phone communication if you spoke to them. You spoke 699 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 2: to us on this day, and that's all testifiable. I 700 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: have it in my office when you speak to these companies, Oh, 701 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 2: my client spoke to them on this day. 702 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 3: Right. 703 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: So anyway back to the whole credit periods. The letters 704 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 2: thing doesn't work because if he has a pay per 705 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 2: trail one, there's no such thing as fixing credit. Every 706 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 2: consumer has a right to dispute something on their credit 707 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 2: if they believe it was reported erroneously or inaccurately, that's 708 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: you're right. 709 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: So from my understanding, it's like correct me if I'm wrong, 710 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: they write a letter or you. Everybody has the ability 711 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: to write a letter to a company disputing something. If 712 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: they don't respond to that dispute, it has to come 713 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: up right. So that's kind of what they do because 714 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: they know most people are They don't want to do 715 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: it themselves, so they do it. 716 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: For them correct. 717 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 2: And the reason and the other thing is that in 718 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 2: the industry there's something called servicing a debt and owning 719 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: a debt. Let me explain that for you. I'll say 720 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 2: it again, servicing a debt and owning a debt, owning 721 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 2: a debt. There's only four companies in the industry that 722 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 2: buys debts Portfolio Recovery, Midland Funding, MCM, and Calvy Portfolio. 723 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: Those four companies buy debts and they give you thirty 724 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: days to resolve it. If you don't resolve it, they 725 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 2: get a default judgment against you, send it to an attorney. 726 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 2: The attorney serves you got to show up in court. 727 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. I shouldn't say blah blah. 728 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 2: But the second thing is servicing a debt. So let's 729 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: say Verizon come back to Verrison. RGM Acquisition is a 730 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: collection agency. They don't own the debt. Verizon sent the 731 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 2: debt to RGM to for them to call you ten 732 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 2: times a day. They don't have the man power to 733 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: do that. So now when you send these letters, the 734 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 2: collection agency is never supposed to be there. That's why 735 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 2: the collection acy will come off your credit that's all 736 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: the letter does. But the debt comes back around ninety 737 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: days later from to another agency, so the debt is 738 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: never really leaving you, so that everything has to be resolved. 739 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 3: So back to the. 740 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: Word of credit a peer, Yeah, it doesn't exist anyone. 741 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: Everyone has a right to contest something if it's not 742 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 2: accurate on your credit board, but not out of ten 743 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 2: times all these banks and they're so squeaky clean with 744 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 2: their data now, like it's very minimum room for errors. 745 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 4: That's important. Man. You gotta educate yourself, right, Like, rather 746 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 4: than paying ninety nine dollars, you can do it yourself, 747 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 4: reading for about two hours a day and figure it out. Man, 748 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 4: it's valuable. So like you're saving your time and your. 749 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: Money, not supporting. 750 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: All right, Okay, so now we're going to go into 751 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: our new topic, our new section. 752 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 4: We got a whole new segment that we're calling it 753 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 4: ten to ten.

It's built just like you're building 859 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 2: personal credit. But it's two dear vendors once. So you 860 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 2: need three of them. Three vendors. If you want to 861 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 2: get cards on like Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, 862 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 2: those guys.

From there, 865 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 2: you apply for your own credit cards. Now if you 866 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 2: want loans out of the bank, you have to have 867 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: a p and L, a profit and loss, and you 868 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 2: have to have a tax return in order for the 869 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 2: bank to extend loan under the business because they have 870 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 2: to see money coming into the company and money going back. 871 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 2: Have a PNL to see that.

Yeah, 877 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 2: you could. How you do it is that you Adam 878 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 2: was an authorized using one of your credit cards. But 879 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 2: with that coming back to your story, it has to 880 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 2: be a clean credit. You can't have high balances, you 881 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: can't have derogatories. But whatever you do will affect that person. 882 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I got lucky. I'm being honest. This is like 883 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 4: a true story, and I think we I first noticed 884 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 4: it when with Out told my credit and I was 885 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 4: twenty six and he was like, wait, you have twenty 886 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 4: three years of credit history, and I'm like, I don't know. 887 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 4: And then I realized that my parents put me on 888 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 4: their card that they've had since nineteen eighty five or 889 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 4: something like that, and I was like history, oh wow, 890 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 4: and they've been responsible, So like, yeah. 891 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 3: That don't affect you, y, that's effect. 892 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 4: It affected me in a positive way, positive, right negative? 893 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 894 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, So you can do it, but it has to 895 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 2: be clean history. Okay, right at seventeen? 896 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: Moving on, okay, okay, So this is from Nelly Gibbs. 897 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 1: She wants to know what the best way to repay 898 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: student loans and what's the best way to handle student 899 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: loan debts. 900 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 2: Oh so we were talking about this earlier. So depending 901 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 2: on the loan, if it's deferred or it's in collection. 902 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 2: I mean, we kind of gotta find out that. But anyway, 903 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,280 Speaker 2: the point is, if you have a bunch of student loans, 904 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 2: everything is based off of an income. The payment plan 905 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 2: is based off on an income based right, So when 906 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,720 Speaker 2: you call a student loans you want to I suggest 907 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 2: everyone create a payment plan, Like, don't keep the firm. 908 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 2: It's not a good thing to do because it affects 909 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 2: you from doing bigger purchases in the future. But on 910 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 2: what you do is you call a student long company, 911 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 2: tell me you want to go on the income based 912 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 2: repayment plan, and they send your form. 913 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 3: You fill out. 914 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 2: The trick to that is that make sure when you 915 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 2: fill out the forms, you put it you have a 916 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 2: lot of expenses. So the monthly payment is a low 917 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 2: payment and they keep you, they lock you into that 918 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 2: for a couple of years and then you recertify again. 919 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 2: But you want to put like you know, you have 920 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 2: you know, rent cards, to daycare, whatever it is to 921 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 2: show that you have a lot of expenses. If not, 922 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 2: they're going to hit you with a high monthly payment 923 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 2: of seven more. 924 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've seen. I've seen yet, like I've seen. 925 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 2: That's how you trick it. 926 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. So our next question is from. 927 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 2: Uh oh and also, next thing, if you have student 928 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 2: loans and like two different like Sally made none and all, 929 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 2: that you can actually have all of those loans refinancing 930 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 2: the one loan, and I suggest everyone do that so 931 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 2: it's easy for you to attract the payments. 932 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 3: And I'm making money payments to five different companies. 933 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 4: That is one hundred percent thro man, like I was again, 934 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 4: I have student loans, like the first thing we what 935 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 4: I did was like consolidate them all, so like Navy, 936 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 4: and is now my correct shout out to them.

You know, credit carment that accurate, 943 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 2: is not detailed. If you have a mortgage lender, those 944 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 2: are the best reports that they try and merge, and 945 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 2: they give you your whole history for when you were 946 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 2: seventeen or when you got credit the current excuse me. 947 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 2: Once you pull that report, you're able to see all 948 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 2: the derogatories and the issues that are holding down your credit. 949 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,760 Speaker 2: If it's stuff that you know that was paid off already, 950 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 2: you can dispute it with the beers that had like 951 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 2: third party collections that have that taken off. But you 952 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 2: got to see the negatives on there and what debts 953 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 2: they are, so you can put a plant to address them. 954 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 2: If there's some desks, you can do settlements that you 955 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 2: have to do settlements so you can call it back 956 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 2: the credits directly and negotiate with them to make a 957 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 2: payment plan. You could even do one account of month 958 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 2: until you get to your end results. 959 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 4: And some things is one hundred percent accurate. It'll show 960 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 4: you that you missed a card payment in twenty fourteen. 961 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 3: Very detailed, very detailed. 962 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 4: All right. 963 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 1: So this is a big one. This is a big one. 964 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: This is from who cares underscore? 965 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 3: No one?

The problem is if we 973 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 2: remove them, you cannot miss a payment again, because if 974 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 2: you miss a payment, it'll come back on. Same thing 975 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 2: for late payments on credit card. I want to talk 976 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 2: about that. Actually, we can remove all your late payments, 977 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 2: but you cannot miss any late payments moving forward.

They don't want to just house the data, 998 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 2: and on the first to the fifth of every month 999 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 2: they update new reports. Your bank reports different days. Some 1000 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 2: days they report, you know, the ten to fifteenth, whatever 1001 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 2: your billing cycle is. 1002 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 4: But that's something you could find out. 1003 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 2: And to make it easy for you, if you want 1004 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 2: to make sure you never laid on your payment, you 1005 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 2: can call all your credit card companies and ask them 1006 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 2: to make your due They the same day every month, 1007 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 2: So if you have five cards, you can make them 1008 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 2: all of them the fifteenth of every month, so you know, 1009 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 2: you know, you know, if you're a person that keeps 1010 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 2: forgetting to make payments, you know on the fifteenth every 1011 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 2: bill is due. 1012 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:42,839 Speaker 3: If you can afford to do it. 1013 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: Okay, Rage against Ordinary has a question. She wants to 1014 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: know after chapter seven bankruptcy, how long does that stay 1015 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: on your report? 1016 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 2: Bankruptcy stay for seven years. And here's the crazy thing 1017 00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 2: about bankruptcy now. One the creditors can contest the bankruptcy. Really, 1018 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 2: they don't have to. Like let's say you have bank 1019 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 2: markers on towards for this. They can contest it. They 1020 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 2: don't have to accept the bankruptcy. They can say no, 1021 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 2: I don't you know, it's we don't want to I know. 1022 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 2: They can contest the bankruptcy. To the new bankruptcy laws, 1023 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 2: depending on what chapter you're filing, you have to pay 1024 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:21,720 Speaker 2: a percentage of your debt back in court, right somethings. 1025 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 2: You have to pay a percentage and that's determined by 1026 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 2: the judge and magistrates. Where's doing your bankruptcy? What's your 1027 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 2: percentage is? So if you're filing bankruptcy, you gotta really 1028 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 2: think about it. If you don't have like fifty to 1029 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars worth of debt, it's not really 1030 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 2: finding bankruptcy. It's not really worth it in my eyes, 1031 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 2: to find bankruptcy for seven years. 1032 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 4: That was gonna be like. My next kind of question 1033 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 4: off of that is like, when would it be I 1034 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 4: guess appropriate to file for bankruptcy. Right, there's a certain 1035 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 4: amount of debt that. 1036 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 2: You should I mean, there's a couple of qualifying SCENARIOSM 1037 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 2: If you're not working, you know, you can't do anything 1038 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 2: about it. You can't pay anything, you know. But if 1039 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,800 Speaker 2: you are working, you have some savings. Because when you 1040 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 2: find bankruptcy, they go through all you have to disclose assets, right, 1041 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,839 Speaker 2: so you know, if you have money in the bank, 1042 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 2: you're like, well, why can't you pay this, knowing that 1043 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 2: the banking contest it. Not all banks have to and 1044 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,879 Speaker 2: that happened to me actually because I did it many 1045 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 2: years ago and they contested it. Then you can't have 1046 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 2: been put You can't open an account for three years, 1047 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 2: a bank account, but you can't show if you have 1048 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 2: any kind of money, any bank account, any bank camp, 1049 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 2: because they can go back, oh, well you have money. 1050 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 3: You know. It becomes very messy. 1051 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,760 Speaker 2: But again with the bankruptcy, and it's not as easy 1052 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 2: as like the way it was in twenty ten. You 1053 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 2: follow and you walk away. You got to pay a 1054 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 2: percentage back. So you know, I think everyone should really 1055 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 2: consider depending on the scenario, because still filing bankruptcy, it's 1056 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 2: not the best route. It is a route, but it's 1057 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 2: not the best route depending on your situation. But it 1058 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 2: stays there for seven years and then you can the 1059 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 2: other thing about that. 1060 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 3: You burn. 1061 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 2: Let's say in the industry is prime and subprime banks. 1062 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 2: So let's say you file bankruptcy, I where discover American Express, 1063 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 2: Barclay Chase. Once you find bankrupcy, you can't get back 1064 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 2: to do business with those guys. Again, They're not going 1065 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 2: to extend any credit. So now you're kind of stuck 1066 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 2: in a subprime and read supprime bank kind of rest 1067 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,240 Speaker 2: of your life where you've been high interest rates because 1068 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 2: major banks are not going to extend any kind of 1069 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 2: credit card to you. 1070 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 4: That's what I will. Our next question is from at 1071 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 4: young God. He said, if if I default on my 1072 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 4: business credit cards, it doesn't show up on my personal credit. 1073 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 2: If you PG it, yes, no. If you didn't PG it, no, 1074 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 2: it does not. If you personally guarantee it when you 1075 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 2: open it, which I be honest with you, nine percent 1076 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 2: of nine and nine percent of the people that said 1077 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,879 Speaker 2: they have business credit their PG and everything okay, could 1078 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: not go into the full steps of registering the company 1079 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,919 Speaker 2: correctly and building it correctly. They're you know, if you 1080 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 2: if your socialist going on that application, your PG. 1081 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,359 Speaker 1: And the role, so you're personally guarante Some more people 1082 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: think that they have business credits really just an extension 1083 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 1: of their own personal credit for their business. 1084 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 3: Correct. 1085 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: But you can actually establish business credit, but you have 1086 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: to go the steps of getting in office and having 1087 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 1: as correct. That's okay, that's important to understand people, and 1088 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: especially entrepreneurs because a lot of people don't know that. 1089 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 3: I didn't realize that. So all right, all. 1090 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 1: Right, man, So yeah, so that that was pretty extensive 1091 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: as far as the ten questions. All right, So I 1092 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: hope that you guys listen because one podcast episode is 1093 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: not gonna be enough to fully grasp. But what we 1094 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: try to do here, it's never enough for anything, but 1095 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 1: we try to plan a seed, right, We try to 1096 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: plan a seed and then hopefully you gain information. It's 1097 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 1: like when we had Quenton on as far as talk 1098 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,839 Speaker 1: about stocks. Right, you can't learn about stocks in an hour, 1099 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 1: but you can you can gain enough information to now 1100 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 1: you can go on the journey of seeking information for yourself, right, 1101 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: and then also you have to work with professionals.
