walshie 2,804 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 The really funny thing I find is the person who is defaulting on their telly or car or whatever has probably generated more money than the person slagging them off !!........their debt would have been sold somewhere in the world as something like a credit default swap.....some broker has then bet against them being able to repay.......probably the same broker who provided the credit So he collects the interest for a while until they can't pay, then he collects when they default and the best bit is they still owe him the money and he owns the kit.....he can then Persue them in court and get even more interest or he can once again sell their bad debt. It's f***ing brilliant !! You can shove your "Right thing" up your hole, the bad debtor is probably worth more money short term !! Lol lol I normally agree with most of your posts Wilf, but this makes no sense. If you take your example of the car, the credit broker receives a few interest payments, then sells the debt for a small percentage. So he's lost out. The new company who has bought this debt has paid this percentage hoping they will get something back - all the time on a car that is getting worth less and less. It seems the in thing these days to rack up debt then declare yourself bankrupt - so they then get nothing - or might just get their money back flogging the car at auction. To my mind, that isn't generating money, It's just shoving the same money around. I'm not in the least concerned about the finance company because their interest rates are set so that even with the non-payers, they still make a profit overall. I'm more concerned with ME. When I go to the same company to buy a car, part of my payments are going to finance a car for someone who isn't going to pay for it. As I said before if someone genuinely falls on hard times, or their company goes bust, that's one thing, but to take on finance not knowing or caring if you can pay it back stinks, Don't forget a lot of these companies who do go bust are because of non-payers. Whether that's because their customer doesn't pay, or their customer's customer doesn't pay is neither here nor there. It all goes back to the non-payer. Bad debtors just make it harder for everyone else. I wouldn't feel right with myself if I didn't do the "right thing." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The insurance company then own the debt and they sell to companies that try and get the monies owed. TC Edited November 24, 2015 by tiercel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The insurance company then own the debt and they sell to companies that try and get the monies owed. TC In the case above (a car) the insurance company would only pay for the part of the debt that has been defaulted on, so the broker doesn't "make" anything as such and the borrower may or may not have even paid the indemnity by then. The insurance company then sells the debt for peanuts. Even if the car is repossessed it will be put in an auction, thereby probably losing more money. It's lose-lose all the way down the line.
