Or you could put that on your car loan, sovcit. But I guess it's more your style to give your money to lunatics. (lemmy.world)

Honestly sounds like they are pretty skeptical about sovcit methods.

It reads like someone who has tried to sovcit and is getting fed up failing instead of someone who wants proof before being pulled down into the muck, but applying any kind of rigour is a good sign for them escaping.

Skeptical but also willing to pay them $7000.

I mean they didn't say "you'll only get it if it works."

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 25 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

"Only if it works" seems implied in the "start to finish" and the "I will learn it when my car is discharged."

Seems like he's willing to pay for a step by step method that someone can prove works.

Yup, sovcits aren't known for their critical thinking skills, but this seems like a good example of those. Demand proof instead of trusting legalese 3rd party forms of dubious origin.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 3 weeks ago

Was thinking the same.. they sound too smart to be real sovcits, they started to smell the BS. Those $7000 are like the million prize for proving the supernatural.. that unsurprisingly nobody claimed.

It almost sounds like he's calling their bluff.

Just leave the headlights on overnight, duh

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. I also took it to mean discharge the battery, but I figured it was an electric car.

It only makes it slightly more confusing.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not about discharging the battery? Then what the hell is it about?

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Discharging debt.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm still confused. Why is a car involved?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 9 points 3 weeks ago

The idea is to buy a car on credit, then discharge the debt by sending the right legalese mumbo-jumbo documents in to force the US government to pay the loan back for you. Or force the bank to accept a quarter as full repayment since you signed in red ink or something.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 weeks ago

Turns out if you simply send a check or online payment for the amount due to your lender each month they can't repo your car. It's naval law or whatever.

Plot twist: they're gonna discharge their 7000 dollar debt with a promissory note

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Or with a negotiable instrument, but only after agreeing using a statement signed under 45° in red inkt. All rights reserved, with prejudice.

I could pay off part of the loan with this 7 grand, or I could use it to pay off ALL the loan...🤔

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How stupid do you have to be to believe that there is a way to get out of debt, and all you need to do is just "learn it"?

I just cannot even comprehend how anyone could be this stupid. How do they survive day to day?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

The real protip is to buy assets with the money you borrowed, then use those as security to borrow more money.
That was you can get rich without ever technically earning any money.
Problem is, you need to be born into wealth to get the ball rolling.
