Just put your ultra capitalist hat when the time comes to repay them. Tell them its a free market and they took a risk like all for profit ventures, but its not looking good for them and better luck next time. Also nice tits bro, very milk.

You can do this, but their response will be to tank your credit. Which makes it hard to get any new loans. Including home loans. Also makes it hard to rent a place, since almost all landlords do a credit check. Hard to get a normal auto loan if you need to buy a car. And iirc, your credit card interest rates will go up.

Take your money to another country. There’s no credit check that follows you across borders.

I’ve heard of people getting their credit score up, taking out all their lines of credit, then dipping to Europe for 10 years to start a business. By the time they came back, their credit scores were fine again because it had been long enough to not affect it. Obviously planning to do this ahead of time is illegal, but if it just happens by circumstance and you’re stuck in Europe and can’t pay back the debt for 10 years then like…

paris@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
My understanding is you can absolutely end up with a lien and other such things, so it wouldn’t be a good idea unless you’re ready to burn every financial bridge with the US for the foreseeable future. But if you’re not coming back, then that’s that I guess.
pillowtags@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Then like…what? You have massive debt and can never return? Or we’re pretending Europe is a different planet and you can just “start new”?

Europe doesn’t use the same credit history system as the US; so yes, it quite literally is a different planet in that sense and you quite literally can start new. This is not financial advice.
mkwt@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Fun fact: the Big Three US American credit unions have a time horizon of seven years. This is set by law. This fucks me, because all my credit accounts are older than that. But the seven year horizon is good for this guy and folks who have declared bankruptcy.

Surprisingly enough it’s incredibly technically feasible.
The biggest challenge is actually maintaining good standing with the federal government because over the last 20 years or so they’ve been racking on more and more income taxes on foreign income, and if you live abroad as a US citizen you’re still legally required to pay income tax. Then once expats started renouncing their citizenship because of the rapidly increasing cost of maintaining a citizenship they no longer needed the federal government started throwing more and more barriers up to make it harde and more time consuming to renounce your citizenship

I know a guy who skipped on nearly a million in debt. Moved overseas and we didn’t see him for around ten years. Nice guy. I just wouldn’t do business with him. His last check to me was good by the way. He called me and told me to cash it before a certain date and I did.

It can get kind of old seeing stuff on social media that’s just using every easy trick available to fish for engagement though, especially when now a lot of it is probably bots and various propaganda campaigns. Especially if it’s being posted somewhere that people can otherwise have more thoughtful and interesting conversations.

invertedspear@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Credit cards caught on to this around 2010 or so. That’s why balance transfers always have a fee now. You could do this with either balance transfers or cash advances, both of which have fees now. So you’ll end up increasing the balance by 3% each month.

Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 month ago
My wife has had bad credit for a good chunk of the time we’ve known eachother, and its really incredible seeing what circumstances cause the offer letters to start or stop flowing. Basically the only thing that made the offer letters stop fully was when she got a head injury and couldn’t remember to do any weekly or monthly tasks and defaulted on all 3 of her credit cards. That stopped the letters for a few months until the first couple of cards were paid off in full from collections and then the credit offer letters started flowing again.

Capitalist banks and oligarchs commit fraud like everyone. The difference is that they don’t get held responsible, and force others to suffer instead.

It might work that way in the first life but then when you’re reborn you’re gonna have really poor credit score and that sucks too in its own way.

The real question is how many people would have to do this at once to bankrupt the lenders?
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 month ago
TBH if you have credit, proof of income, and live in such a land of opportunity that large loans are available then you’re not really in a position worth ending yourself. Just go to therapy.
If you borrow from a shady or illegal lender then they WILL go after your next of kin, so list your guarantor as somebody you hate, lmao.

The problem with getting that big loan is you need an income and some money first
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 month ago
I mean, most of the time they don’t really check. At worst you might get a company which wants a paystub or two to verify income but those are just PDF files that can be edited. If you’re already planning on breaking some laws and contracts, nothing to stop you from breaking a few more

Don’t do it OP, traveling and broadening your mind might make you enjoy life and then you’d not be so nonchalant about deleting yourself. You might end up on prison, where you’ll suffer doubly due to your newfound love of life and freedom! Better semi-suffer in an empty existence for the rest of your life like most others.
Or like, just stay on a foreign beach with your embezzled money and a drink in your hand and never come back. Actually seems like the best option overall…

At that point why not just declare bankruptcy? If he was couch surfing then he had no assets to lose. Sure bankruptcy fucks your credit for a while but it’s better than having nothing and still having your wage garnished. That’s literally the situation that bankruptcy exists for. If you somehow get yourself in a truely irrecoverable amount of debt then it’s your get out of jail relatively free card.
