In War, no Victory can be attained without the support of Allies. In World War II, United States, Brittan and Russia were the Allies who aided one another in Battle against the tyranny of Hitlers’ Germany (and it’s Allies).
Your War On Debt is no different. Just like World War II, there are Enemies of Great Power on opposing sides. These conflicting sides battle to defeat the other.
In your War On Debt, nothing is more important than having solid intelligence on potential Enemy Forces, Allies and knowing what forces remain neutral. This leads us to “The 6 C’s Of Credit”.
What Are The 6 C’s Of Credit?
The Six C’s of Credit are “Protocols” used to asses the risk of a Borrower to repay a loan or Extended Credit. The 6 C’s of Credit are essentially neutral. But the 6 C’s should not be overlooked, because they can provide you a Road-Map to Peace and Financial Liberty.
Character: You know if you’re a good person who’s been caught in a Bad situation, or a Dead-Beat Bum, who had every intention to file Bankruptcy, to get out of paying their Debt. I don’t judge, but your Creditors, Lenders and some Employers do.
Your Credit Report exposes YOUR Character. Your Credit Profile exposes much more. But what does your Credit Report say about you? Is it telling the [whole] truth? Is there false negative information being reported about you? Your Character as listed on your Credit Report is always a FORCE to be reckoned with.
Capacity to Pay: What is your Capacity to re-pay the loan? When any Loan is granted, there’s an automatic expectation of that loan being repaid, according to the terms of the agreement.
Capital: Capital is considered to be; Assets, equity, or money. As a Borrower and Debtor, some good questions to assess your Capital are:
- “Do I have the money to repay this loan at the current terms”?
- “What will I do if they RAISE my the Interest Rates above a certain percentage”?
- “What is my ‘Exit Strategy’ if the Lender changes the terms, or I loose my income”?
Collateral: Collateral is any item that used as leverage to secure a Loan. Collateral is where the “Battle-Lines” are drawn for the transaction(s). If the Borrower doesn’t repay the loan, the Lender can demand seizure [“Repossession”] of the collateral used by the Borrower – to secure the Loan, or Credit.
[TERMS] & Conditions: Conditions can be Debt Land-Mines waiting to be stepped on and activated. For example many Credit Card Agreements have Arbitrary but binding “Terms and Conditions”. So It’s important to know the legally binding Terms and and it’s just as important to consider your Conditions. It’s best to keep in mind all External Conditions as well (e.g. The Credit Freeze of 2008″).
Confidence: Coming full-circle, Confidence is reflected in your Character, Capacity to pay, amount of Capital and or Collateral. The Conditions are based on the Terms of the Loan Agreement as well as your own Financial Conditions.
I’m sure that you see that all Six C’s Of Credit are inter-connected. Each individual “C” provides a framework for Creditors and Borrowers. They are generally NEUTRAL FORCES that can work for or against you.
On the other hand DEBT WARRIORS seek to be YOUR “Allies in your War On Debt”.
