HOW TO RECOVER FINANCIALLY AFTER A NATURAL DISASTER

6/15/2019

10 Comments

 
June 1st begins hurricane season!
A weather emergency can force you to leave your home without money, ID’s, debit or credit cards and other important items, so here are some practical steps to begin your financial recovery.
  • You’ll need money and may be able to use checks, ATM’s, credit and debit cards or wire transfers from family and friends in other locations, however, if your cards or ATM are stolen, go to (https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0213-lost-or-stolen-credit-atm-and-debit-cards). Call the card issuer ASAP to report the loss and get new cards. If you don’t have the card issuer’s phone number, call 1-800-555-1212. Remember federal law protects you from loss for unauthorized use of your credit and debit cards
  • It’s important to stay in contact with your employer. Verify that you’ll continue to receive a paycheck and health insurance and for how long. If you’re displaced and not able to access your direct deposit pay, you can ask to have it re-directed to a bank location closer to where you are.
    • To contact your retirement company, Social Security Administration or other benefits office, call: 1-800-772-1213 (http://www.ssa.gov/emergency/).
    • To contact The Veterans Benefits Administration (http://benefits.va.gov/benefits/), call: 1-800-827-1000. Tell the offices your new location and find out if benefit payments are made available by check, direct deposit or payment card.
    • To contact The Department of Labor, call: 1-866-4-USA-DOL works with state and local governments to issue unemployment insurance and other assistance.
  • CREDIT: If you have lost your financial records and need help identifying your creditors or need to verify whether your accounts are being tampered with, get your free credit reports from annualcreditreport.com, (http://www.annualcreditreport.com) or call 1-877-322-8228. Credit card companies, lenders, financial institutions, landlords, utilities and others may offer help to people affected by disasters. CONTACT THEM AND ASK FOR HELP! They may be willing to: defer payments or offer extended payment plans, extend grace periods, waive late fees, raise credit limits, refrain from reporting delinquencies and may even postpone collection, repossessions and foreclosures.
    • Ask your creditors for short term loans for living expenses, increase in your credit limits or cash advance until you begin to receive insurance or other disaster relief funds.
    • If you applied for home repairs money, ask your homeowner insurance or mortgage company about the status of your application. While your loan is in process or approved, find out how much money will be released and how frequently to make the necessary repairs. If your home is so severely damaged that you believe repairs are unnecessary, ask if available home insurance funds can be used to pay off your mortgage and/or cover personal property. Review your mortgage loan documents and insurance contract for details also.
    • Contact your utility companies, cell phone companies and financial institutions and report that you have lost your belongings in a natural disaster. Ask them to waive late fees and defer your payments or consider a different payment schedule.
    • Contact your bank or credit union. Ask them to waive ATM fees, overdraft fees and reporting to the credit bureaus. Also, ask them to waive any penalties on early withdrawal of CD’s (Certificate of Deposits).
    • Contact your credit card companies and ask to change your billing address to your temporary address. Ask to defer or skip payments in the short-term, waive late fees, over-the-limit fees, reduce interest rates and increase credit and cash advance limits.
    • For Mortgage, car and other loans and leases, ask to defer your payments for a few months or until you’re back on firm financial footing.  
  • WHO TO CONTACT FOR LOST OR DAMAGED DOCUMENTS:
  1. Deeds and recorded real estate documents: County’s Recorder of Deeds
  2. Mortgages and other credit: Lender or financial company
  3. Leases: Landlord or financial company
  4. Insurance policies: Insurance company/agent 
  5. Wills: Attorney (If the will is destroyed, you’ll need another one)
  6. Checks, Savings documents and Investment materials: Bank, Investment Company or Broker 
  7. Car Title, Driver’s License: Secretary of State or DMV 
  8. Birth Certificate: Vital Statistics Office form the county where you were born 
  9. Social Security Card:  local Social Security Administration Office 
  10. Tax Returns: IRS Center 
  11. Other documents like contracts or divorce judgments: Your Attorney or the courts

  • MORTGAGE INSURANCE FOR DISASTER VICTIMS:
    • FHA 203(h) Loans for Disaster Victims are open only to those in federally declared disaster areas. This loan can be used to purchase a replacement home, rehab an existing home or as a refinance loan. The borrower must live in the property and must make application for the 203(h) within one year of the date the federal disaster area is declared. The borrower must have a minimum FICO score of 500 to qualify for this program.
    • FHA 203(k) insurance enables home buyers to finance both the purchase (or refinancing) of a house and the cost of its rehabilitation through a single mortgage or to finance the rehabilitation of their existing home. Insurance for rehabilitation is authorized under Section 203(k) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C 1709 (4k). Program regulations are at 24 CFR 203.50.

The benefits of having a good credit can never be over emphasized, as a young Adult I made lots of mistakes and I’ve been paying for them ever since. As a divorcee with 4 kids living with a poor credit was not easy, I needed a mortgage loan because I needed a better home for my kids and I, I had an eviction, 4 hard inquiries, late payments and huge credit card debts. It wasn’t funny at all because I suffered a great deal. The good news is a credit repair company known as Lanx Credit Solution ensure that I was able to live my life to the fullest, they helped me improve my credit, removed all the negative and derogatory items, gave me a very high FICO score of 750. I will leave their contact here so you also can benefit from their excellent work [email protected] and (214) 888 9709…

This year started off as a tragedy for me. In march, I got hacked by a scammer who had access to my mails and wallet logins. I was logged out of my account but noticed he had already withdrawn $4500 worth of bitcoin at the time. It felt like I was living in a bad dream while I surfed the internet relentlessly in search of a crypto recovery expert but it all proved abortive. It has been seven days and I was lucky enough to have gotten a high recommendation about ''BUGGIFIX''. It's been 3 months of struggle with his diligence, constant effort and I've never been happier cos this team was able to track and recover not all but more than 75% of my stolen funds. Here's his email if you find this useful; "Buggifix at comPuter4u dot com".

So I'm new to this Crypto thing and the same way I've been hearing incredible rise in coins is the same with the complications and theft that comes with it. I got introduced by someone from Facebook to a bitcoin trading company to help me grow my coins but the experience so far has been extremely crummy. Unfortunately, they turned out to be thieves and confiscated my wallet and money in it. I applaud 'Buggifix at Computer4u dot com' for holding it down on their end as they helped me recover my wallet and coin despite the struggles. It's a 10/10 recommendation.

My name is Rachel Frye and I want to give this testimony in respect of Dr. Odunga who made me win $2 Million Dollars in the Lottery by matching the 5 numbers for me. I am happy to be out of financial debt and be able to help my family in this seasonal period of fun and cheer. I contacted Dr. Odunga through Whats-App (+2348167159012) when I told him to help me win the Mega Millions and He told me that it would be spiritually checked if I will win the Lottery. When he informed me that I will not be able to win the Jackpot but I will win a huge amount in the lottery I was not completely sad but had great faith in him. I live in Freeland, Saginaw County, Michigan and I would say it was pretty hard to send him the money for the spell before he gave me the winning numbers to play. He sent me the numbers and I played. The next morning after the drawing, I matched the five white balls in the Aug. 4 drawing to win $1 million: 11-30-45-52-56. Thanks to the Megaplier X2, my prize was multiplied to $2 million. Thank You Dr Odunga for this wonderful experience with you. You too can contact Dr. Odunga at his Whats-App +2348167159012 or Email: [email protected]
