If you're worried
about the ethical implications of writing off your credit card debts
or other loans, have a read of this article.
Most people have
incorrect notions of how banks work. Most of us think that the banks
are doing us a huge favour by lending us money. In fact, we are doing
them a huge favour by allowing them to lend us money which they immediately
start earning from when we start paying our monthly installments plus
interest.
You see, without
us asking for credit, they could not create the money and then make
money from it by way of being "paid back", plus interest.
It's called Fractional
Reserve Banking and all banks use this to create their own (vast) wealth.
Fractional Reserve
Banking is 100% legal:
Banks can lend 10
times as much money as they have on reserve.
Banks charge an interest rate on the money they lend.
If you put £1000 into a bank, that bank is then able to lend £10,000
and charge interest on top of it, which they immediately do.
Most people go into
the bank manager's office feeling a bit humbled by the whole occasion.
Well, you needn't worry. The bank is more than willing to lend you the
money. All it needs is for you to ask for it and it can then create
the money out of thin air. The money, up until the point you ask for
it, does not actually exist. All that needs to exist is the 10% of the
worth of the loan in the bank's deposits.
But once it exists,
it is the bank's good fortune that you immediately have to start paying
it back to the bank, with a bit of interest on top for good measure!
And remember, the money that you're paying to the bank every month is
for a sum of money that didn't exist until you walked in the bank manager's
office.
All banks do this.
The return on investment
from each loan is 90% + interest on average, though in some countries
the ratio can be as high as 1 in 28. In the U.K. it is thought to be
around 1 in 12 for the average bank.

Now you know why
every corporation wants to be a bank.
Now that you know
how this works, don't you want to be a bank as well? Of course you do!
As long as you have
£1,000 in your account, and someone comes along and asks you to
lend them £10,000, say over 5 years, you can let them put their
signature on a piece of paper and - hey presto - the £10,000 suddenly
exists!
Now they have to
start paying you back the money that didn't exist until 30 seconds ago,
with interest!
Now you have an
income of around £200 a month. In five month's time you're going
to have all your money back, but you're still going to be paid, with
interest, for the following four and a half years after that!
Is your conscience
still worrying you about how badly you're about to treat your bank?
Next, read about what
happens when you default on a loan. Do banks really suffer when
this happens? No.

Note:
If a debt is found to be unenforceable this means that the debt can
not be collected. It does not mean that the debt is wiped, cleared or
written off, other than in exceptional circumstances. All references
here to writing off or wiping off or clearing debt and to 'write off
credit card debt' are understood in the colloquial sense. In most cases
the debt will remain outstanding and on file.
