according to this guy on quora who worked for the company that comes after you if you don't pay.
sam hyde and others have also done this, discussed this, and confirmed this is pretty much true.
basically, build up your credit, get a bunch of different cards, build them all up, then at once max them all out, buy a lot of assets and properties with it if possible, like gold, then run away. hide away those assets you have. and basically after awhile when they can't track you down and you aren't answering their calls, they'll send you a bill for 5% of what you owe. you pay that and it's straight between you and the company.
Good question..
Sounds to me like you are planning a little pump and dump.
If that is the case, then I can tell you from my almost 30 years of experience collecting bad bank debts that most people seem to max out all their credit cards and lines of credit at once. This is usually because they lost their job, gotten divorced, or experienced some other life changing events. It all tends to go to shit at once.
If you only have one card, and youre making your payments on time, then good for you- you have worked to maintain your good credit rating. Why not just stay in the game for a little while longer, apply for more cards and credit, and see where it goes? Then, if you get into trouble down the road and need the cash, you will have MANY more cards to draw from, instead of just the one you have now.
No need to “disappear”.. your credit will be ruined and you may get sued by the banks, but you will not go to jail.. Plus, you can always build your credit back up- takes about 10 years, and all that bad stuff disappears.
Credit is a game- instutional lenders are ruthless in their approach and the way they run their companies. The odds are tilted in their favor, like a casino.. Of course they expect to take some losses- I think the writeoff on bad credit card debt is around 5%.
The bottom line is that there is no morality in paying back bank loans. If you cant do it, you cant do it.
