Default I can't afford to pay for the repairs

I'm a professional handyman. I have my own business, called Jim's
Handyman Service. I have been in business for many years. But lately
the work is slim due to the economy. This has allowed me to do the
many repairs needed on my own home. Everytime I complete a job, I
write out a bill to myself, the same way I charge my customers. The
problem is that I can no longer afford to pay myself. I'm in debt for
almost $50,000 to myself. I asked the bank for a loan, and promised
to repay the debt in short order, but they said that they thought the
debt was senseless and said that my income has not been good enough
lately to repay such a large loan. I then asked them for a second
mortgage on my home, (appraised and valued at $179,000), but this time
they told me to just go home and fix my toilet or something. What do
I do? The interest on this debt alone is going to wipe me out, since
I charge 24% interest on unpaid bills after 30 days, and most of this
debt is beyond 90 days, which means that I can begin legal forclosure
action against the property. It won't be long before I lose my home.
Even if I use up all of my retirement savings, I will only be able to
pay about 35% of this debt, and if I take all my credit cards to their
limit, I will still only cover a total of about 50%. Does anyone know
a legitimate solution to this? Please help me before it's too late !

Thank You kindly,

Jim's Handyman Service - Orlando FL.

Who do you think you (well your company!) are?

Enron or GMC or something. Or a large (irresponsible) bank?

The solution is to pay yourself a large bonus, based on the decision
of the board of directors (yourself) then;
a) Go to the government for a handout. b) After a few months, sell off
any remaining worth in the business paying yourself an inflated salary
during the intervening period and then declare bankruptcy.

Make sure you move to some non US tax haven before completing this
process.

However if along the way do have to appear before congressional or
senate committee admit nothing. Also before travelling to attend such
hearings contact your local senator to make sure you have support 'For
a local industry in their voting area'.

Travel by bus or old looking car to attend such hearings; a private
jet (or boat) looks ostentatious!

If you need any additional advice we are located 'out of country' and
our fees, being in Canadian dollars, also dragged down in value by
this whole credit mess, are reasonable!

There are also European and Swiss advisers available for this kind of
'Bail out' situation.

Yes just sublet half of your home to your handyman and hire a tax consultant
with paranoid personality.

(and thank you for a good laugh!)

Remind them that as a taxpayer you are now part owner of the bank. You have
a voice in who gets loans.

Besides, once AIG starts paying back the money they owe, the government will
be sending us our share and you'll have plenty of money to pay your debt.
That will happens soon so don't worry.

you can find someone like you and charge him $50,000. Oh, don't forget
to send me a half because I own this idea.

We aren't interested in novices like you. Develop a track record showing
where you have massively profited by screwing lots of folks but due to
"conditions beyond your control" you are unable to pay your $50 Million
bonus and we will gladly help you out.

But why is that important? The only really important thing is that both
the red and blue folks worked together to pull the money out of our
pockets to bail out the fat cats. That is cooperation at its finest...

My advice would be to get a lawyer (a really low down blood sucking
bottom feeder type lawyer) and sue the guy for all he is worth. If
that doesn't work hire a debt collector.......

More like develop a better business plan so that you can remain
viable. At least that is what congress wanted GM to do.

It's like this.You are obviously charging to much. Foreign completion
does not pay as well so how can you compete? You should fall in line
and pay yourself an illegal aliens wage.

Ask Big Lips for a bailout. You qualify more than most of the ones getting
them. It's not YOUR fault, but some evil Republican's.

Of course, the logical choice is to get a loan you absolutely can not
re-pay then use the money to pay off your debts. The real problem is
that something is seriously missing in your business and/or you are
unwilling to make some serious changes to get customers.

You better be careful. If you ever catch up and pay yourself, you'll
owe a lot of income tax.

Why would you continue to do additional work for a deadbeat customer?

Instead of being a handyman, be a homosexual prostitute. When things are
slow, do as you did with the handyman thing. Only in this occupation,
instead of fixing your own place you just go **** yourself.

Remind them that as a taxpayer you are now part owner of the bank.
You have a voice in who gets loans.


But...nobody seems to know which banks got the bailout money, and
apparently the banks don't know either. ;-)

But why is that important? The only really important thing is that
both the red and blue folks worked together to pull the money out of
our pockets to bail out the fat cats. That is cooperation at its
finest...



Pull money out of out pockets?

The way I see it, they just go pull money out of their asses and by some
strange parallel phenomena we feel things being shoved up our asses at
the same time.
