The ABCs of Debt by Stephen P. Parsons Pdf

Stephen Parsons’ The ABCs of Debt provides the most practical, realistic, and comprehensive tools for today’s students to study and master debtor-creditor relations and the bankruptcy process. The ABCs of Debt is unsurpassed in the foundation it lays for students regarding the creation and collection of secured and unsecured debt by both judicial and nonjudicial means. The text then leads them in a practical and realistic manner through Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases in the actual way those cases begin, unfold, and ultimately play out in the offices of attorneys for debtors and creditors and bankruptcy trustees. The use of realistic and thorough case studies throughout the text forms a hands-on approach that bridges the gap between merely understanding debtor/creditor and bankruptcy concepts and knowing how to use them with confidence. Applying the Law exercises and optional drafting exercises develop the practical skills and working knowledge of a paralegal.

The ABCs of Getting Out of Debt by Garrett Sutton Pdf

In difficult times, debt can be a matter of life and death, happiness and despair. Controlling your debt can bring order and calm. Mastering debt can bring wealth and success. As bestselling Rich Dad/Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says, “Good debt makes you rich and bad debt makes you poor.” The ABCs of Getting Out of Debt provides the necessary knowledge to navigate through a very challenging credit environment. A Rich Dad’s Advisor and best selling author of numerous business books, Garrett Sutton, Esq. clearly writes on the key strategies readers must follow to get out of debt. Unlike other superficial offerings, Sutton explores the psychology and health effects of debt. From there, the reader learns how to beat the lenders at their own game, and how to understand and repair your own credit. Using real life illustrative stories, Sutton shares how to deal with debt collectors, avoid credit scams, and win with good credit. “The reason Garrett Sutton’s book is so important is that like it or not, debt is a powerful force in our world today. The financially intelligent are using debt to enrich themselves while the financially uneducated are using debt to destroy their lives.”- Robert Kiyosaki The times call for a book that offers hope and education on mastering credit and getting out of debt.

The ABCs of Debt by Stephen P. Parsons Pdf

Using a hands-on approach, The ABCs of Debt: A Case Study Approach to Debtor/Creditor Relations and Bankruptcy Law, Fifth Edition bridges the difference between understanding bankruptcy concepts and applying them with confidence. Parsons begins with the premise that the specialized study of bankruptcy requires an adequate foundation in other aspects of debtor/creditor relations. This foundational knowledge is reinforced by realistic, current case studies that introduce, explain, and illustrate bankruptcy law and procedure. Students see how a bankruptcy case unfolds, from the moment a debtor makes contact with a lawyer until the case is closed. That chronological, step-by-step approach is used to study cases filed under Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11. This book aspires not just to teach students ‘‘about’’ bankruptcy, but also to teach them how to ‘‘do’’ bankruptcy. Broad coverage includes bankruptcy law, debt creation, secured transactions, the law of liens, and debt collection. New to the Fifth Edition: Updated to reflect significant court decisions regarding debt collection and bankruptcy including: Czyzewski v. Jevic Holding Corp. which struck down structured settlements regarding a Chapter 11 debtor that conflict with §507 priorities unless affected creditors consent Midland Funding, LLC v. Johnson, U.S. holding that filing of a time barred proof of claim does not amount to a false, deceptive, misleading, unfair, or unconscionable debt collection practice within the meaning of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Lamar, Archer & Cofrin, LLP, v. Appling, holding that a materially false statement in writing about a single asset can be a “statement respecting the debtor’s financial condition,” rendering debt related to the asset nondischargeable under §523(a)(2)(B) Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis holding that private-sector non-union employers can use class action arbitration waiver provisions to bar employees from joining in a class action or collective arbitration to contest alleged wage and hour violation Updated references pertaining to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Department of Education (student loans), payday lending, and car loans Analysis of the causes of bankruptcy for those age 65 and older Demonstration bankruptcies moved to appendices for easy reference Revised case studies comply with the latest amendments to the official bankruptcy forms in effect at the time of publication including the important new Form B113, Chapter 13 Plan approved by the U.S. Judicial Conference in 2017 Professors and students will benefit from: Realistic Case Studies that add a strong skill-building component to any study of bankruptcy law Problem-Hypotheticals in which students apply concepts to realistic situations Learn-by-Doing exercises, examples, and illustrations A sequential organization of bankruptcy topics that mirrors practice Ethical Considerations that highlight relevant ethical or professional challenges presented by the topic under discussion Chapter summaries, review questions, and sample forms View from the Bench case excerpts, accompanied by Applying the Law exercises, that link doctrine to practice Engaging and informative text boxes Key Concepts at the start of each chapter Complete Case Files for both case studies—provided for students on the companion website at WKLegaledu.com/Parsons-Debt5 and referred to throughout the chapters that make up Part B To Learn More (TLM) activities for each chapter—available on the companion website—designed to challenge and enable the student to do further research on issues raised in the text or to consult additional resources for further learning

The ABCs of the Economic Crisis by Fred Magdoff,Michael D. Yates Pdf

The economic crisis has created a host of problems for working people: collapsing wages, lost jobs, ruined pensions, and the anxiety that comes with not knowing what tomorrow willbring. Compounding all this is a lack of reliable information that speaks to the realities of workers. Commentators and pundits seem more confused than anyone, and economists—the so-called "experts"—still cling to bankrupt ideologies that failed to predict the crisis and offer nothing to explain it. In this short, clear, and concise book, Fred Magdoff and Michael D. Yates explain the nature of the economic crisis. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the authors demonstrate that this crisis is not some aberration from a normally benign capitalism but rather the normal and even expected outcome of a thoroughly irrational and destructive system. No amount of tinkering with capitalism, whether it be discredited neoliberalism or the return of Keynesianism and a "new" New Deal, can overcome the core contradiction of the system: the daily exploitation and degradation of the majority of the world’s people by a tiny minority of business owners. While the current economic maelstrom has laid bare the web of greed, corruption, and propaganda that are central to capitalism, only an aroused public, demanding the right to health care, decent employment, a secure old age, and a clean and healthy environment, can lead the United States and the world out of the worst crisis since the Great Depression and toward a system of production and distribution conducive to human happiness. This book is aimed primarily at working people, students, and activists, who want not just to understand the world but to change it.

How to Be Richer, Smarter, and Better-Looking Than Your Parents by Zac Bissonnette Pdf

Striking out on your own for the first time is exhilarating. But in a culture full of bad advice, predatory banks, and splurge-now-pay-later temptations, it can also be extremely dangerous—leading you to make financial decisions that could hurt you for years to come. Combine this with a slumped economy, mounds of student loans, and dubious examples from reality TV stars to politicians to your own parents, and it’s no wonder so many twenty-somethings are struggling. Twenty-three-year-old Zac Bissonnette—the author of Debt-Free U—knows exactly what you’re going through. He demystifies the many traps young people fall victim to in their post-college years. He offers fresh insights on everything from job hunting to buying a car to saving for retirement that will give you a foundation for a secure, stable, and happy life. In the process, he reveals why FICO scores are overrated, online job applications are a waste of time, car loans are for suckers, and credit card rewards are a scam. With detours to discuss wine connoisseurs, Really Broke Housewives, and Lenny Dykstra, Zac shows you how to make better choices today so you can be richer, smarter (and better-looking!) for years to come.
