Lecture Notes: Discharging Debt Using Section 609

Introduction

  • Speaker: Tammy Robinson
  • Topic: Discharging debt using Section 609 loophole
  • Key Point: You can discharge any debt at any time, not limited to those on your credit report.

Personal Experience

  • Tammy successfully discharged student loan debt from 2016.
  • Debt ranged from $39,000 to over $50,000.
  • Used Section 609 law in 2018 to have debts deleted and removed.
  • Debt was fully discharged, not just removed from credit report.

Section 609 Law

  • Law includes a cease and desist clause.
  • Allows disputing of debts and ceasing debt collection if no original signature or contract is provided by debt collectors.

Five Steps to Discharge Debt

  1. Pull Credit Reports
    • Obtain reports from TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian.
  2. Check for Derogatory Items
    • Look for bad or disputed debts, including balances.
  3. Use a Template
    • Follow a provided template or use professional assistance.
    • List derogatory items and ensure targeting of last debt collector soliciting the debt.
  4. Inventory All Debts
    • List debts individually with details such as amount, account number, and reasons for removal.
  5. Seal the Request
    • Use red ink to stamp your right thumb on the seal page of the Federal Trade Commission document.
    • Do not sign the page; request creditor's contract and signature.

Conclusion

  • Final reminder that if no contract and signature are provided, the debt is not owed.
  • Contact details for further questions and encouragement to subscribe for more information.
