This week's episode is one of my favorites, because I get to share a success story around a client who was being chased (harassed) for over $21,000 related to the repossession of a jet ski. The best part about this story is that I was able to convince the creditor to leave my client alone and drop the debt entirely - from $21,000 owed to $0 owed !!

How did I do it? You have to listed to the episode.

If you have a creditor chasing you for money and you do not believe that you owe it, or you do owe it but are unable to figure out how to pay it, you do have options other than bankruptcy. Please contact me and we can discuss your situation.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I look at the last 9 requests to Freddie Mac to take people off of their Exclusionary List. If you want to hear more about the Exclusionary List, please listen to Episode 32. This episode is about different things I've learned in trying to get people off of the List - my successes and failures.

I would appreciate if you would share this episode with a mortgage originator, realtor or title company you know because they are the ones who can refer people who are on the List to me for review, and in this area of the law, I can represent people all over the country!

In this week's episode of the Podcast, we talk about debts that are non-dischargeable, meaning these debts are not eliminated by a bankruptcy filing. The episode comes from from a listener question about a debt arising from domestic violence.

Some examples of non-dischargeable debt include:

- Certain Income Tax Liabilities

- Debts that arise from fraud

- Debts that relate to injury or damage related to operation of a motor vehicle while drunk or intoxicated

- Creditors who are not included in the bankruptcy filing

- Student Loan debts

What other debts do you think are or are not dischargeable?

In this week's episode, we interview Samantha Dammer, owner of Tampa Law Advocates to discuss Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for businesses.

Samantha has been practicing just as long as I have - 18 years as of the recording of the podcast episode, and has been practicing bankruptcy in Florida for 10 years.

Some of the issues we discuss:

- When would a Chapter 7 be appropriate for a business

- Why would a business want to file bankruptcy

- The benefits (and some drawbacks) to filing a business Chapter 7

- The mechanics of a business Chapter 7

- And other topics

You can contact Samantha at 813-288-0303 or visit her website at www.tampalawadvocates.com.

If you have questions for me, please reach out to [email protected], or www.YesnerLaw.com.

In this week's episode, I welcome my friend Matt Lapointe, an attorney with the firm Blalock Walters in Brandenton, FL.

Matt and I were talking recently about the number of clients I have who all fear being taken to prison for failure to pay a debt - called debtor's prison. In fact, debtor's prison no longer exists and so Matt, a self-described history buff researched the issue of debtor's prison and we discuss this history of debtor's prison in this week's episode of the podcast.

You can reach Matt at [email protected] or 941-748-0100. Matt focuses on corporate and transactional law (meaning he does not go to Court, although he has attorneys in his firm who do if necessary).

I found an interesting article about success rates in Chapter 13, reorganization cases that I summarize in this week's episode.

For purposes of the article and podcast, "Success" means that the debtor completed all payments in his Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The results are interesting in determining:

- Should you file individually or jointly with a spouse?

- Should you file on your own or with an attorney?

- What are the Success Rates on your second chapter 13 (after the first one was unsuccessful).

Please let me know what you think of this statistical analysis, and if you want a free copy of the report, please contact me at [email protected].

In this week's episode of the podcast, I interview Jocelyn Paonita from The Scholarship System.

This was one of my favorite interviews. Jocelyn was able to have her entire college education paid for by scholarships. The Scholarship System helps people find scholarships for students at all levels of education, wherever scholarships may be available.

Student loan debt is a serious issue in our economy and Jocelyn's example and her systems can help reduce student loan debt before the students actually incur the debt!

The Scholarship System helps people find the scholarships, and then they implement strategies to complete the application for the scholarship.

You can find more information, as well as Jocelyn's contact information at www.thescholarshipsystem.com. Check out their blog, the free webinar, and all of the other information on the website!

In this week's episode of the podcast, we talk about whether a quit claim deed or a quiet title lawsuit can stop a foreclosure, from a listener of the podcast!

Many people believe that transferring a home to a third party and then filing a quiet title lawsuit will defeat a foreclosure lawsuit. Unfortunately, under FL law, the answer is "no."

How I get to that answer is in this week's episode.

If you're facing foreclosure, please visit our website at www.YesnerLaw.com, or email me at [email protected]
