How does using debit cards instead of credit cards affect the lenders?


Inspirtaion

I see a win for consumers floating in the air, coming towards us like far-off clouds. I read an article today about how the credit card companies are losing money because consumers are using more of their own money instead of their credit cards. This means that they are using their debit  cards and cash instead of making the credit card companies money. I think it was something like $100 billion or some crazy amount like that. But the point behind this is because the credit card companies only make money (outside of annual fees and whatnot), money on interest if you don't pay in full each month. So, if you're paying in full each month, they don't make money. If you're not using your credit cards, the lenders do not make money. Why am I saying that this is a win for us? Because they're been taking from us and closing our cards and cutting out limits and making it more difficult to get approved. They've been taking it all away from us like they think they're our parents and grounding our ability to move forward with our credit. The beautiful thing about this is that I've been saying that all of these thing were going to happen way before they did. I said it was going to get bad and that they would change the laws and they did. You think that the coronavirus changed everything? NO! They've been waiting for an excuse to do this to us and to cut the lifelines away like they don't know we've been hanging from this cliff and our grip is slipping. So yes, this is a win. Yes, this is a major victory!

Tips for my brokers; Craigslist, Facebook, websites, advertising and more!

I work 90% with brokers, 10% with clients, and I actually prefer to work with brokers, as I have contact with only one person instead of 300 clients. So considering there are 528 of you brokers, I figured that I would post some tips and tricks for my brokers. I will break it down into sections to make it easier reading, and if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, let me know! Advertising Advertising can be a serious pain in the butt, and it is utterly necessary for a business like this one. I will give you a couple of suggestions that work for me. I am mostly just word of mouth now and do not need to advertise, as I have thousands of clients, but there are days when I do put my business out there again for new clients. Craigslist It is quite difficult to advertise with CL now, but there are tons of ways to get around being flagged or to prevent it from happening. CL is the 4th most visited site in the  world , so that right there should tell you that you need...

3 Resons why you should wait to apply for new credit

Applying for new credit before all derogatory items are deleted: My advice to my clients is always the same: wait until you're done with your credit repair or credit sweep program, but have a strategy to move forward from there. Here's a few reasons why: #1 you may be denied if you still have 1-2 items remaning and will end up with new inquiries that will drop your score #2 it may hinder the process of removing the last few items and can add 1-3 months to the timeframe #3 you may be approved with a very low limit and would have to wait 3-5 months prior to requesting an increase. In comparison, you can wait til everything has been completed and obtain a higher limit right off the bat. Here's a real-life example: I have a client would only has 4/86 negative items remaining and he wanted to move forward with his mortgage. I advised him to wait because (see #1) it would add inquiries and he may not be approved. He'd mentioned tha...
