so do many people do dodgies with mercedes involved? like buy one when they clearly cant afford it to become intentionally bankrupt?

You can also be forced into b/ruptcy by a creditor, not to mention most people don't intend to go b/rupt, they have a situational change. Also if they cant afford it at application they wont get the lend (in theory) and laws are pretty strict on lending these days. Also don't forget it cost's money to declare b/ruptcy

Rather than accepting payment terms of say 20cents in the dollar, they say no thanks Jeff. Rather than receive any money we would rather send you bankrupt and get nothing lol

yup we do it all the time. It's more about appearance to other customers than the particular customer involved. If it got out that we would accept 20c / $ on the regular, then all that happens is that everyone offers 20c / $ with the mindset that we will accept it. Hence it's better to take nothing and let the cust go b/rupt and deal with the consequences, then take the higher offers from future b/rupt customers

doesnt work that way, if bankrupt you cant have assets worth more than XX and you cant have an income higher than XX per year.

Not to mention travel restrictions, can't be a CEO, listed on NPII index as a former b/rupt for 10 years etc etc.

and the real kicker... you major creditor has to accept your bankruptcy / insolvency request... we can still say no.

f**k i had a bad credit rating listed with GE for a 1200$ debt .....

I would have been better off declaring bankruptcy cause 11 years later with me trying to do the right thing and with the entire debt paid in full about 5 years ago...

I still have a bad credit rating cause of those motherf**kers..!!!

while my muppet mate who got a 20k car on finance, paid nothing, wrote off car, declared bankruptcy, has been free and clear for some time now...

I got a video ezy fine the other day for $40 which I don't intend on paying

For an overnight movies which I borrowed for $6 because they were returned 1 day late. Might get a bad credit rating out of that!

lol...I left a video with a friend oneday when I dropped her off outside the video store, she said she returned it..few weeks later 120$ bill..... :glare:

I confronted her about it and her excuse was "yeah it was too far out of my way" wtf i dropped you off practically at the front door you dopey troll

anyway never paid

wtf no wonder everyone just downloads that shit these days

i'll give those video places till 2015 till theyre all out of business the older generation slowly dieing off

I went to school with a girl who's dad worked in head office of Blockbuster Australia and she said they were going bankrupt? (This was in 2010).

I know a few franchises went bankrupt but not the blockbuster corp, at least I don't think

Yeah ignore my perfect extension of lending them money in the first place. Do you feel like a man now, Hamish?

look at the time codes... you posted that as I was replying ;)

nice analogy birds :P

you wouldn't have been better off... a savvy banker can see that you are a former b/rupt for life.

also give me more details, if the debt was paid in full it should be listed as settled which is only a 5 year listing from the date of the initial listing, which should have been approximately 100 days after the product charged off (you stopped paying)... not the date of the settlement.

I'd imagine it's either a mistake on GE's behalf and you were automatically listed twice, or you were listed for something else and you have assumed it's GE have as you know about that debt. Have you had a Veda report confirm it's from GE? if so PM me the results and i'll see what advice I can give

as for your mate, I'd assume he didn't actually declare full b/ruptcy (Part IV) for $20k (while the minimum is $5k it is rare for amounts under $100k unless it's forced. It's more likely he either:

  • entered into a part IX personal insolvency agreement, and paid back a percentage of the debt over time
  • told the bank he was bankrupt when in fact he wasn't and the agency that bought the debt hasn't caught up with him yet
  • had the debt written off due to some technicality
  • he's not actually free and clear and if he tries to lend with someone that performs a credit check he will be knocked back
  • it's been over 3 years and he was lucky enough to cop a lazy banker
  • he has leant from a second tier lender that specialises in customers with debt agreements

I got a video ezy fine the other day for $40 which I don't intend on paying

For an overnight movies which I borrowed for $6 because they were returned 1 day late. Might get a bad credit rating out of that!

nope. Illegal to list for amounts under $100

haha GE are ruthless,

As the big man Hamish said if its paid and your getting knocked back its a huge mistake on GE's behalf or there might be something else you might of been done for and not known about it.

Listing is 5yrs min 7yrs max... 11yrs down the track, and paid... i'd say Veda report check.

If paid and still listed by GE ... call GE and get them to update there sh*t

You should be in the green and have a perfect credit rating if paid and 5yrs have gone by.. or 11 haha... no one should be able to even see it but GE

    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
