Alysse asked:


Can your company’s accounts be frozen for personal debt?
I’ve been fighting a judgement lost by default as the attorney was in negotiations with me and was going to settle, then he proceeded to court without my knowledge. He sued me personally, but my company whom I am part of is an llc. They are trying to hold be liable for a contract signed with a vendor 6 months before I was on the project. Now they just froze my company funds. Yet they didn’t sue the company and I am not an officer. I am the designer. My husband is CEO and it is just a small operation, with six employees. My children are the other “board members”. I am fighting the original judgement and am trying to get it thrown out because of his business ethics. Right now we can’t operate because all our funds are frozen. His exwife was my client and I think she couldn’t get the money out of the company that did ***** up, and figures she could get it out of me.
Okay, the llc was not sued. I have insurance on that. They sued me personally. According to our state statutes, I am not a member. My husband and adult children are. If they had sued the llc, theinsurance would have paid for the attorney and covered my fees. But they sued me even personally, so I am not covered and don’t have the resources. They have frozen everything and it wasn’t even our company who ripped her off. Her name is on a contract with them six months before we were even hired.

Debt. Debt. Debt.

On paper, debt may appear to be just a word. But, to many people today debt is something that they feel absolutely buried under. Indeed, the vast majority of people in the world today will end up facing very serious financial problems at some juncture in their lives.

If you have reached that unfortunate position, you may be seeking reliable solutions through which you can restore some order to your finances. One option that you may want to consider is a personal debt consolidation loan. However, you cannot consider obtaining a personal debt consolidation loan in isolation. Rather, you must look to a personal debt consolidation loan as being one tool in a meaningful and ultimately effective debt management plan.

Through this article you will be provided with an overview of what elements — what tools — need to be included with a masterful and meaningful debt management program. (And, again, one of those tools oftentimes should be a personal debt consolidation loan.)

Budget

Perhaps the most important tool that you will want to make certain is included in your debt management plan is a responsible and reasonable budget. The budget that you create and develop cannot — must not — be something that you throw together willy-nilly. Rather, your budget must be thoughtful, detailed and comprehensive. Moreover, you cannot budget merely for the coming week. When it comes to developing a meaningful budget as part of an overall debt management plan, as part of an overall financial management program, you must look down the road. You must develop a budget that will take you at least three years down the road. (You should not attempt to budget beyond five years because by doing so you really will be engaging in an act of speculation.)

Personal Debt Consolidation Loan

As mentioned earlier in this article, you will want to include a personal debt consolidation loan within your overall debt and financial management plan in some instances. For example, if you’ve found your individual debts to be unmanageable — in other words, if you are behind in your payments and facing mounting interest rate increases, late fees and other penalties — you need to take a close look at applying for a personal debt consolidation loan. The personal debt consolidation loan can provide you immediate relief but can also be a helpful long term solution to some of your financial problems. In the end, by taking steps in addition to obtaining a personal debt consolidation loan as described in this article, you can save a good deal of money over time by obtaining a personal debt consolidation loan.

Debt Counseling or Financial Planning

Finally, you may want to consider engaging the services of a debt counselor or a financial planner (perhaps over time both types of professionals) to provide you intelligent and educated assistance in implementing your own debt and financial management plan.

By developing a multifaceted debt and financial management program, you will be on your way to a better and happier future on so many important levels.

I used to run my own small business from home but I now have a regular full time job. I plan on buying a home in the next 2 years & I’m wondering how hard I should work to pay down the debt from a small business I used to run (I haven’t filled out the paperwork to officially close the business).

The business has its own tax id & I currently use my income from work to pay down the debt on 2 business cards I have, but I’d like to lower the amount I pay (payoff in 3 years instead of 2).

The business accounts are in good standing (no late payments, not maxed out, etc.) & I have no personal debt and pretty good credit. Should I focus more on increasing the amount I save for a down payment on the house, or paying off the business debt?

When I apply for a mortgage in 2 years will I have to tell the lender about the debt I owe on a business that, on paper at least, is still open? (It’s a sole proprietorship)

In the past 20 years, I have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of credit that is offered. I get at least 2 or 3 credit card applicantions in the mail a week and receive regular phone calls about home equitiy loans and debt consolidation. Back in 1983, I had to establish credit by getting a department store card, before Visa or Mastercard would offer me one. I had a full time job at the time and wasn’t carrying any debt, either! Now, college kids, who work part time can get major credit cards!

I live within my means and do not carry more debit then I can handle if I lost my job tomorrow. We paid our home off in less than 15 years, we had a 20 year loan and made extra payments. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but we saved a lot of money by doing that! Anyway, my advice to all Americans is to limit your debit and live within your means.
