5 Reasons for Working With a Licensed Insolvency Trustee

When facing financial problems, you could work with a licensed insolvency trustee to find appropriate solutions. It can be overwhelming to face your debts on your own, and sometimes you feel like there’s no other way but to file bankruptcy.

A licensed insolvency trustee assists you by giving your guidance and advice on how you could handle your financial troubles. The good thing about this is that these professionals help you by offering services that allow you to solve your financial problems over time.

What Is a Licensed Insolvency Trustee?

A licensed insolvency trustee or LIT works with individuals who need debt assistance. These professionals have seen all kinds of debt situations and have more than enough experience under their names.

Their main goal is to help inform people about other viable options to solve their financial difficulties. Not everyone is well informed about the many choices to make paying loans easier. A LIT is the best person to work with to explore and consider these options.

LITs help make sure that you don’t get abused by creditors. On the other hand, your creditors also have rights, and LITs ensure that these are respected. LITs function as your third party when dealing with your creditors.

Does the Government Assign a Licensed Insolvency Trustee?

The government licenses a LIT through the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. They are federally regulated professionals and will not charge you for preliminary consultations. They work with the Canadian Government to help people out of their debts.

It’s also important to know that the Government of Canada does not employ these professionals. LITs are accountants that various debt service companies employ. To be qualified as a LIT, they undergo training and get licensure.

When to Call for the Help of a Licensed Insolvency Trustee

You have loans you need to pay, but you’re not sure when to call a LIT for help. One way to know is if you are already struggling with how to pay off your loans. You don’t have to wait until you need to file for bankruptcy to ask for help.

Call a trusted licensed insolvency trustee to assist you if you know you will struggle to pay. LITs will not only give you advice but also help you handle your loan problems and guide you toward the right path. Here are some reasons why you should seek LIT's assistance.

1. To Get Advice on Your Debt Problems

LITs could give you professional advice on how you could deal with your financial troubles. You could confide your financial problems to them and present any obstacles or struggles that you face while paying your loans.

You could trust that LITs have the proper experience and knowledge to give you the right advice. They will usually meet with you and will start with a debt assessment. During this process, they will understand your situation more and could offer more sound advice.

2. To Help You Calculate the Appropriate Amount for Your Debt Settlement

As you work with LITs, they will help you create debt settlement solutions. That means you must consider what amount from your budget you will set aside to pay all your debt. LITs will help you plan the percentage you could pay for specific obligations.

Planning is essential when paying debts since, as much as possible, LITs don’t want you to end up in bankruptcy. You must ensure you have enough for yourself and pay off a good percentage of your monthly loans.

3. To Help You Create Proposals for Debt Management

LITs could help create consumer proposals for you. Not everyone is familiar with creating consumer proposals to help them deal with their dues. Trusted licensed insolvency trustees could step in and assist you in creating a proposal that you submit to your creditors.

Not every creditor has the same qualifications and rules. You might get approval from some creditors, while you might not get approval from others. The best-case scenario is when you and your creditor agree on a proposal that enables you to pay your loans more manageable.

4. To Conduct an Assessment of Your Financial Situation

As mentioned before, LITs conduct an assessment of your financial standing. You are informed of your financial status not only to understand your situation better but also to be aware of it. Through this process, they could give you valuable counseling when needed.

Usually, you have to attend at least two credit counseling sessions. Your LIT will then give you advice and tools that could help you improve or avoid future debts. Unlike debt counselors, LITs have the authority to negotiate deals to help you pay less or have lesser interest rates.

5. To Help You Find the Proper Debt Management Options

LITs don’t only help you create consumer proposals, but they could also assist you with bankruptcy. Even though the goal of asking for help is to avoid bankruptcy, some people have to deal with the consequences, and reliable licensed insolvency trustees also help them.

A LIT is the only professional authorized to handle government-regulated insolvency proceedings. Bankruptcy is one of those proceedings since it is a way for a person to get discharged from their dues.

Be Free From Dealing With Your Debts Alone

You don’t always have to face your financial troubles alone. Many people feel embarrassed or anxious to share their economic plights with anybody else. LITs are a great choice to work with since they are licensed professionals.

LITs could help deal with creditors. Once done with your consumer proposal, your LIT will directly deal with your creditors. Unsecured loans can’t collect or pursue legal proceedings against you.

You won’t have any trouble looking for trusted licensed insolvency trustees. They are easy to locate as you only need to search the registry in Canada. You could always find LITs in any part of the country, even in the furthest remote locations.

Don’t hesitate to work with LITs for your financial problems. It’s never a good idea to wait until the last minute to find the solution you need. Sometimes you also have to take the initiative and contact a licensed insolvency trustee to start solving your financial problems quickly.

Insolvency trustee Doug Hoyes encounters a lot of Canadians with money troubles, but he's become particularly sympathetic to the plight of young people who find themselves financially underwater.

For more than a decade, his Ontario-based firm Hoyes Michalos has been crunching bankruptcy and insolvency numbers for its annual "Joe Debtor" analysis, with its latest results released last month ahead of tax season.

He's concluded that millennial Canadians have been dealt a generational losing hand as they face student loans layered with bad debts from credit cards, high-interest loans, and post-pandemic tax debt from collecting CERB.

"I think there's a whole bunch of whammies that have hit millennials." Hoyes said. "The CERB was the final straw that broke the camel's back." [...]

Democrats want to protect and extend Social Security and Medicare; Republicans want to cut benefits and raise retirement age

The Trustees of Social Security released an annual report on the health of Social Security and Medicare. The report is here: Status of the Social Security and Medicare Programs | 2024.

It is important for Democrats to understand the true facts surrounding Social Security and Medicare so they can fight widespread disinformation on the topic. Let’s take a quick look at the facts and then at President Biden’s statement today.

The Washington Post ran a story on the Status Report for 2024 that was released today. The opening lines of the WaPo story stated as follows:

Social Security and Medicare will run out of money in just over a decade, a new report warned Monday The trustees for the massive retirement programs project that Social Security will be insolvent by 2035

Both of the above statements are false or misleading—as is plainly shown by the Status Report that the WaPo journalists purport to summarize. But if WaPo can’t get the facts right, we have an uphill battle dispelling disinformation about the programs.

The true facts are as follows: Social Security and Medicare have four “reserve” or “trust funds” that are used to pay benefits. Both programs also rely on current payroll tax collections to meet current obligations to beneficiaries.

Two of the four Social Security and Medicare reserve funds have sufficient money to pay benefits until 2098 (and beyond!). However, two of the reserve funds are projected to be deleted by 2035. But—and this is really important—the programs associated with those two reserve funds will continue to pay substantial benefits from current payroll tax collections—79% and 89%, respectively.

So, it is not true that Social Security and Medicare will “run out of money” by 2035. Although two of four reserve funds will be depleted, even those programs will continue to pay significant benefits.

Moreover, the depletion of the two reserve funds can be easily remedied. As noted in a report by the Economic Policy Institute, some combination of raising the cap on wages subject to the payroll tax or indexing projections to conform to economic reality will address the projected shortfall. See Economic Policy Institute, Saving Social Security in Three Steps (epi.org).

As the EPI report notes, the projections on the depletion date on the reserve funds use pessimistic assessments about economic growth. Social Security and Medicare assume that the economy will grow by 1.4% per year over the next 55 years. The growth rate over the last 75 years has averaged 3.0%. If the Trustees of the programs used a modest 2% growth rate, much of the projected shortfall will disappear.

But the real fix is to raise the cap on wages subject to the payroll tax. Which is exactly what President Biden suggested today. See WhiteHouse.gov, Statement from President Joe Biden on the Social Security and Medicare Trustees Reports. As President Biden noted,

My plan would extend Medicare solvency permanently by asking the wealthy to pay their fair share and lowering prescription drug costs. And I am committed to extending Social Security solvency by asking the highest-income Americans to pay their fair share without cutting benefits or privatizing Social Security.

Biden also noted that Republicans have a much darker and more painful fix:

Their budget sides with the wealthy and special interests to cut Social Security by over $1.5 trillion, increase the retirement age, raise prescription drug costs, and transition Medicare to a system that would raise premiums for many seniors. These changes are cruel and unnecessary.

Why do Republicans want to cut benefits rather than raise taxes on the wealthiest wage earners? The question answers itself. Trump is actively working to undermine the interests and social safety nets that help maintain financial and medical security for tens of millions of Americans. Indeed, most of Trump's base will be hurt if Republican proposals to cut benefits and raise the retirement age are adopted. Tell a friend!

Everybody's waiting to see what happens at BJU. Lou Martuneac gives a solid overview of the fundamentalist "field" in his recent post.

What gets me is his point here:

A little over 20 years ago Pillsbury could not recover from an agenda similar to what has taken place at BJU. Northland, Clearwater, TTU and Calvary Seminary (Lansdale) all suffered the same fate. Even though insolvency is a possibility BJU possesses a level of resiliency that the closed schools did not. 

Wake up, BJU. Wake up! The "drift" didn't work for your cohort schools.

Martuneac also mentions another strong possibility:

Guide the school into a graceful closure

What will the next month reveal?

Social Security may well prove the belief that taxation is theft. FICA contributions to Social Security and Medicare are not opt-out. The American worker and their employers are legally compelled to pay. You have no choice here unless you choose to work under the table or in some alternative economic market out of the view of the federal government, and woe upon woe to you if the IRS finds out.

To add insult to injury, Social Security is not a retirement savings program. It is a transfer program. Income in the form of FICA contributions is taken from the paychecks of working people and is to be distributed to current beneficiaries of Social Security. That's it in broad, general terms.

The promise to those of us whose income is being taxed is that when it comes our time to draw benefits there will be funds available. Of course, we will need to continue taking money out of the checks of those working even if we have surplus funds available. As the current reports by Social Security Trustees indicate, we don't, and given current projections, we won't. Drastic measures will have to be taken to secure the program for the future if we hope to keep the Boomer Generation and Early Gen-Xers (my demographic) from bankrupting the program out of existence.

I'm 57. I've been making contributions for over 40 years if you take into consideration my fast-food jobs as a teenager. There had better be Social Security when I retire. The chances are, the minimum retirement age will be raised and benefits will be cut to stave shortfalls and prevent insolvency from becoming bankruptcy.

I have acquaintances that mistake my attitude for irony impairment. "Taxation is theft, but keep your hands off my social security," they joke. The answer to both is an unironic, "Yes."

Taxation is theft as I didn't agree to the program or tax on my income in the first place. In fact, these came about some thirty years before I was born. I entered the workforce and had no choice but to agree to these mandates. As stated above, FICA contributions are not opt-out.

Keep your hands off of my Security since you haven't given me the choice to opt-out. I would like to recoup some of the income I lost over my decades in the workforce. In fact, fix the damn program so that my contributions aren't a loss to me and future generations of workers. Now, if you want to refund all of my FICA deductions with interest and adjusted for inflation, okay...do what you want.

Since we know that isn't going to happen, it's time for Congress to get their act together. The GOP would rather we cut Social Security out of the federal budget altogether, while the Democrats seem unwilling to make necessary changes. Both parties are putting American workers on a speeding train to ruin.

So yes, "taxation is theft," and I want my money back, so "keep your hands off of my Social Security."

The Legal and Financial Aspects of Restaurant Auctions

Restaurant auctions, particularly those involving equipment, offer a practical solution for both sellers and buyers in the food industry. Whether a restaurant is closing down or upgrading its kitchen, auctioning used equipment can recoup some of the investment. Buyers, on the other hand, benefit from purchasing quality equipment at discounted prices. However, the process is not without its legal and financial complexities. In this blog, we'll explore these aspects of restaurant equipment auctions to help both sellers and buyers navigate the process effectively.

 Understanding Restaurant Equipment Auctions

Restaurant equipment auctions are typically held when a business is closing, relocating, or upgrading its facilities. This type of auction features items such as ovens, refrigerators, grills, furniture, and smaller kitchen appliances. Auctions can be conducted online, in person, or a combination of both, with bids often starting well below retail value, making it an attractive option for those seeking high-quality equipment on a budget.

Despite the potential savings, restaurant equipment auctions come with legal and financial considerations that need to be understood to ensure a smooth transaction for all parties involved.

 Legal Considerations for Sellers

For sellers, particularly those facing bankruptcy or insolvency, there are specific legal protocols that must be followed during a restaurant equipment auction. In such cases, equipment might be sold to satisfy creditors, and a court or trustee may oversee the process. Sellers should be aware that the auction must comply with local and federal laws regarding bankruptcy and asset liquidation.

Additionally, sellers must ensure they have the legal right to sell the equipment. For instance, if the equipment is leased or financed, the seller may not have the authority to sell the items without first settling their financial obligations with the leasing or financing company.

 Legal Considerations for Buyers

From a buyer’s perspective, due diligence is essential when participating in a restaurant equipment auction. Buyers need to verify the legality of the sale, ensuring the seller has the proper rights to auction the equipment. If the equipment is leased or still has outstanding payments, the buyer could face legal complications after the auction.

Moreover, buyers should understand the auction terms and conditions. Most restaurant equipment auctions operate on an "as-is" basis, meaning the buyer purchases the item in its current condition with no warranties or guarantees. Buyers must assess the equipment carefully before placing a bid to avoid purchasing faulty or non-functional items.

 Financial Implications for Sellers

Restaurant equipment is a significant investment, and sellers should be prepared to recover only a portion of their initial costs through auction sales. While some items may fetch high bids, many pieces of used equipment depreciate in value quickly, particularly if they are outdated or in less-than-perfect condition.

Sellers should also account for auction fees, which can range from listing fees to a percentage of the final sale price. These fees can impact the seller’s net profit and should be factored into any financial planning surrounding the auction.

 Financial Considerations for Buyers

Restaurant equipment auctions can be a great opportunity for buyers to save money, but there are still financial considerations to keep in mind. First, buyers should establish a clear budget and stick to it during the bidding process. It’s easy to get caught up in the competitive nature of an auction, potentially leading to overbidding and overspending.

Additionally, buyers need to account for any hidden costs, such as transportation, installation, or repair expenses. Since most restaurant equipment auctions sell items "as-is," buyers may need to invest in maintenance or repairs after the purchase.

Finally, auction fees, including buyer's premiums (typically a percentage added to the final bid), can increase the total cost of purchasing an item. Make sure to review the auction terms to understand any additional costs that may apply.

 The Role of Professional Appraisers

Both buyers and sellers can benefit from the expertise of a professional appraiser before participating in a restaurant equipment auction. An appraiser can provide a fair market value for the equipment, helping sellers set realistic expectations and reserve prices. For buyers, an appraiser's insight can ensure that they are not overpaying for equipment and can help identify any potential issues that may require costly repairs.

 Conclusion

Restaurant equipment auctions present both opportunities and risks for sellers and buyers alike. By understanding the legal and financial aspects of these auctions, sellers can maximize their return, while buyers can avoid costly pitfalls. Whether you're selling or purchasing equipment at auction, always conduct due diligence and consult with professionals to ensure a smooth, profitable transaction.

By paying close attention to these considerations, you can make the most of restaurant equipment auctions, turning them into a valuable tool for your business.

Common Dreams

Sept. 11, 2024

"The ultra-wealthy are avoiding nearly $2 trillion in taxes every 10 years," said Sen. Ron Wyden. "That's where we ought to go to start making progress."

The Democratic chair of the Senate Finance Committee said during a hearing Wednesday that instead of tossing Social Security's sacred guarantee "in the trash" by cutting benefits, lawmakers should crack down on mega-rich tax dodgers as a way to keep the New Deal program fully solvent for decades to come.

"The ultra-wealthy are avoiding nearly $2 trillion in taxes every 10 years," Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said during a Senate Budget Committee hearing. "That is enough to keep Social Security whole till the end of this century."

"That's where we ought to go to start making progress," Wyden added.

The senator's remarks came during a hearing titled "Social Security Forever: Delivering Benefits and Protecting Retirement Security," which featured testimony from Social Security Administration Commissioner Martin O'Malley and several expert witnesses.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who presided over the hearing, used his opening remarks to blast GOP proposals to raise the retirement age, a change he said would "especially hurt low-income retirees."

Whitehouse, the chair of the Senate Budget Committee, acknowledged that some Republicans have pushed back on the notion that the GOP wants to cut Social Security benefits. But if Social Security benefit cuts "really are off the table," the senator said, "that leaves only one other option to prevent insolvency: raise revenue."

"There is no third option. And that means it's time to get to work identifying smart, fair ways to raise revenue, fund the Social Security Trust Fund, and preserve and protect benefits," Whitehouse continued. "Fortunately, there are solutions that would both extend Social Security solvency indefinitely with zero benefit cuts and make our tax system fairer, like my Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act."

Wednesday's hearing came in the heat of a presidential race in which Social Security has featured prominently, with Democrats warning that GOP nominee Donald Trump would push for deep benefit cuts if he's elected to another White House term.

During Tuesday night's debate, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris made the only mention of Social Security, vowing to protect the program that lifted 28 million people out of poverty last year.

Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, said in a statement following the debate that while Harris reinforced "her commitment to Social Security and Medicare," Trump "was mum on the topic."

"At least when Trump has nothing to say, he cannot compound his many conflicting and confusing statements about Social Security and Medicare—from calling Social Security a 'Ponzi scheme' to saying he's 'open' to 'cutting entitlements' and proposing to eliminate some of the taxes that fund Social Security," said Richtman. "Tonight's debate underlines the fundamental reality that one candidate in this race will truly protect Social Security and Medicare—and that is Kamala Harris."

According to the latest trustees report, Social Security is positioned to fully pay all benefits and administrative costs until 2035 and is 90% funded for the next quarter century.

Progressive lawmakers and advocacy groups have argued for years that the best way to ensure Social Security's long-term solvency is clear: make the wealthy pay their fair share into the program. Due to the payroll tax cap, millionaires stopped contributing to Social Security just 60 days into 2024.

"Warren Buffett stops paying into Social Security 30 seconds into the new year," O'Malley said during his testimony at Wednesday's Senate hearing, "and the people that clean these buildings pay in all through their paychecks."

Mt. Gox Faces Legal Action from Irate Investor Over Denied Bitcoin Claims

Key Points

An investor intends to sue Mt. Gox for not honoring his Bitcoin claims.

The investor alleges that Mt. Gox liquidated his account without proper notification.

A perturbed investor is planning to take legal action against Mt. Gox, a formerly leading cryptocurrency exchange that went under in 2014 due to a massive theft of approximately 850,000 Bitcoins (BTC).

This investor, known as Dense_Spite3160 on Reddit, recently shared his ordeal in a post that quickly garnered attention. He alleges that Mt. Gox has denied his rightful claims to a small Bitcoin balance he held before the exchange’s collapse and is now looking to sue the firm to recover his asset.

The Investor’s Experience

As per a Reddit post made last Thursday, Dense_Spite3160 was an early Bitcoin adopter who mined the digital asset on a basic laptop. He stored some of his Bitcoin stash on the exchange and had a modest balance when the company went under.

At the time, the company was the largest Bitcoin exchange globally, handling more than 70% of all Bitcoin transactions. However, his experience took a drastic turn when Mt. Gox was hacked and subsequently filed for bankruptcy.

Disheartened by the loss and the ensuing legal complexities, Dense_Spite3160 distanced himself from the crypto scene altogether, choosing not to follow the recovery efforts led by the exchange’s bankruptcy lawyers.

Revival of Interest and the Dispute

Years went by, and the investor’s interest in crypto remained dormant until he recently came across news headlines about Mt. Gox finally starting distributing payouts to creditors. This prompted him to check his old email account, where he discovered several messages from the legal teams handling the Mt. Gox insolvency.

One of these emails, dated around 2019, referenced a Z2 creditor number which is evidence that he was indeed recognized as a creditor in the proceedings.

Eager to reclaim his lost Bitcoin, the investor attempted to recover his balance, only to be met with a harsh reality: Mt. Gox had liquidated his account.

The exchange claimed that he had waived his rights to his funds by not responding to the legal notices in time. These notices, he argued, were inadequate and mostly written in Japanese.

Outraged by what he sees as an unjust and unreasonable decision, the investor is now seeking legal assistance to challenge Mt. Gox’s refusal to honor his claims.

He turned to the Reddit community for advice, seeking recommendations for a good lawyer to handle the case.

“So, can anyone recommend a lawyer to help me out? I imagine they’d take a substantial cut of what is recovered,” he wrote.

The post received mixed reactions from the members of the Reddit community, with some users expressing sympathy while others criticized him for not acting sooner.

One user pointed out that it had been over ten years since Mt. Gox bankruptcy, and that all emails from the exchange were sent in both Japanese and English, contrary to his claim that he only received the Japanese version.

“It is your own fault that you did not take care of it in time. The existing Bitcoin has now been distributed, which pot do you want to get something from now?” the user wrote.

Another Redditor echoed the same sentiment, arguing that suing Mt. Gox would not help recover the lost Bitcoin. They also challenged the investor’s claim that the emails were solely in Japanese, stating that they had received up to 50 emails from Mt. Gox trustees, each accompanied by an English version.

Some users were even more blunt in their responses, telling the investor to accept his losses and move on.

“You just learned your first lesson: It sucks. Get used to it. Thousands of other creditors were able to work through the whole process just fine, no matter if they speak any English at all or not, let alone Japanese. So the baseline is that you messed up, and now you gotta own it,” one commenter remarked.
