If Dollar Crashes/Collapses, What Happens to Mortgage & Credit Card Debt?
If the dollar takes a dive or dies completely, and there are bank holidays to allow for its devaluation and/or replacement, what happens to existing debt on the books?

I know that any cash you have on hand and in the bank will now suddenly worth less in value. But will the same recalculation be done on your debt? Or will that stay at the same value, and you're effectively screwed?

I'm not sure but there are plenty of countries where currency has collapsed, go look up Germany or Argentina and see what happened there to debt and let us know.

China is going to be really angry. Tell them they can come and get all their stuff they made for us, we have mountains of it here, and they can take it back with them. But I think Billary allready gave them eminent domain rights. Of yeah, Mortagage and Credit Card Debts will be nonexistant, what are you going to pay with, blood? Lets hope they do not try to reinstitute debtors prisons once again.

From what I read, all bank debt and credit card debt will be wiped out...no longer collectible.

How could it be? It's fiat monies that are worthless so the debt would be worthless too.

Inflation.....the more they print...in which they are warming up the presses again....the more worthless it becomes....it's not so much that gold is going up...it's that the dollar is going down....I think at this point, if you're not into gold, it's too late in the game to start now. Silver would be more viable....

If the dollar goes under, I am going to hit the magnetic strip on my credit cards with a repolarization wave and alter the info on the strip.
That way, the banks cannot trace me and where I am from the card.

Dude, that's exactly the wrong answer.

If the dollar crashes, you want to gather up all the dollars you see blowing down the street in the wind and pay off your mortgage and all your debt.

If the dollar crashes, it will be EASY to become debt free because you'll be paying off your debt with toilet paper.

Exactly. So would the government debt. Think about it... how does Washington erase $15 TRILLION in debt???

Destroy the dollar! Then they can offer up a new world currency, which THEY control, and start all over again from zero.

The only problem is that YOU will be wiped out, but they don't care about that.

Re: If Dollar Crashes/Collapses, What Happens to Mortgage & Credit Card Debt?
I've read through all of these posts, and I'm still confused:

IF the dollar crashes, how does this affect my mortgage note?

I don't see how my debt would simply be wiped out.

Even if my bank fails, won't the debt on my loan be transfered to another entity, who will then contact me for new payment arrangements?

This would mean that my debt is not wiped out, it is still a valid debt in some shape or form, right.

From what I have read in these thread answers, it seems that some of you are saying that the loan would be wiped out. That would mean that I'd then own my home free and clear.

That makes no sense to me, as much as I'd like it to be so.



Any help here, for me to understand how the system actually works?

Re: If Dollar Crashes/Collapses, What Happens to Mortgage & Credit Card Debt?
Let me explain what I know, although it is my euro knowledge.

When the dollar crashes your debt will stay the same. The dollar crash will not happen within lets say 24 hours, it will be a longer process till it falls of a cliff. So you will get some bad inflation at first. So every dollar loses it's value more and more. Though your debt stays the same. At one point work payments will have to go up or you won't be able to buy food, that will happen. So you are going to make more dollars, though they lose value, but your debt is still the same in dollars. So you will be able to pay off the debt rather easly.

And if your current (for example) mortgage fails, it will be taken over by another party, which will try to maintain your current contract, or make you another proposal with similiar specifics.

The dollar is being collapsed by design to usher in a New World Currency.

You can bet your ass debt will be transfered over to this new system, should it come to pass.

My guess is they will offer settlements/reduced rates under this new system to try and get people to go along with it.

The amount you owe will not change.

So if hyperinflation happens, and a silver dollar is worth 10,000$, and you owe 300,000$ to the bank for your house, just sell 30oz. of silver and you are debt free.

THe banker is the one getting fucked not you. You just bought a house for a handful of silver.

Bankers don't like getting paid back in hyperinflated currency though, and that is why it won't happen. They have the system rigged where they can make it go either way.

Also if hyperinflation happens and you have money in the bank, you are fucked. Because say you have 500,000$ cash, and then hyperinflation happens, you still have 500,000$ the only problem is that 500,000 now buys half a tank of gas and a snickers bar.

If the Dollar crashes, you silly clown, that means we have had tremendous inflation. If so, you could pay your mortgage with just one or two pay checks. You'd be a total fool not to pay if off because you'd be able to sell it in the future and make considerable profit.
