Credit card debt is NOT a debt - Tommy Kilpatrick with Devyne Business
In this powerful episode of Ladies in the Market, we sit down with Tommy Kilpatrick, a solopreneur who turned a mountain of credit card debt into a mission.
After being left with $85,000 in credit card debt, Tommy began to question the foundation of the system itself — and what he discovered changed everything. From uncovering the legal loopholes banks don’t want you to know to actually suing the banks and winning, Tommy walks us through how he challenged the validity of credit card debt and came out clean, with no derogatory marks on his report.
We explore:
Why many credit card debts aren’t backed by true promissory notes
The legal arguments he used to fight back
How he teaches others to use the same knowledge
The difference between real debt and what’s simply claimed
How to protect yourself from predatory lending tactics
If you’re struggling with debt or want to understand how the financial system works on a deeper level, this conversation is a must.
