Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a victory in his lawsuit against VA Claims Insider, LLC. The lawsuit alleged VACI posed as a legitimate veterans' assistance organization while deceptively charging disabled veterans fees for what it represented as help navigating the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits and claims process. Paxton's lawsuit alleged VACI marketed its services as “free” coaching to assist veterans in the preparation, presentation, or prosecution of VA benefit claims, despite not being accredited by the VA to perform those services.

 In the early 2000s, debt relief gave many countries breathing room — but not transformation. The debt was cancelled, yet the structures that pushed economies back into borrowing remained untouched.Today, nearly half the continent is once again in or near debt distress, with some governments spending more on interest repayments than on health or education.

On today's program, the pastor of Arise Vineyard in California has resigned after old allegations resurfaced of inappropriate behavior. We'll have details. And, medical debt continues to be a growing burden for many American families—but churches are partnering to help pay it off. We'll take a look. Plus, a Baptist news publication is sued for defamation by a former college professor who says he was falsely accused of sexual abuse. But first, a Florida woman is charged for impersonating the father of a Camp Mystic victim to raise money through a GoFundMe page. The complaint identifies Maitlin White, who used Matthew Childress' name and his daughter's picture to start a GoFund Me campaign to raise money. Childress lost his daughter Chloe during the July 4 floods that swept through Camp Mystic last year, killing 27 campers and counselors. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Daniel Ritchie, Isaac Wood, Jessica Eturralde, Bob Smietana, Joseph Abboud, Kelly Van Duine—and you, Warren.

We are raiding the Guardian long read archives to bring you some classic pieces from years past, with new introductions from the authors. This week, from 2022: As the world faces the worst debt crisis in decades, the need for a global lender of last resort is clearer than ever. But many nations view the IMF as overbearing, or even neocolonial – and are now looking elsewhere for help By Jamie Martin. Read by Kelly Burke.

Today we're diving deep into the wild world of credit cards and how the banking system might just be pulling the wool over our eyes! Our guest, Tommy Kilpatrick, brings a fresh perspective on how we've been indoctrinated into thinking that credit card debt is something we have to bear without question. He shares his personal journey from being buried under $85,000 in credit card debt to discovering that the banks might not even have a legitimate claim on those debts. We discuss the idea that many of us have been misled about what credit really means and how to reclaim our financial power. Get ready for some eye-opening insights and maybe a few laughs as we explore what it means to truly understand and navigate our finances in today's world!Takeaways: The banks often operate under a system that some view as fraudulent, where they manipulate money and debts without proper invoices or agreements, which can mislead consumers. Understanding credit cards is crucial; many people might not realize that they are often treated like gift cards, which leads to confusion about debt and financial responsibility. It's highlighted that consumer behavior, like applying for credit cards, can lead to a cycle of debt that benefits banks but leaves individuals financially vulnerable and confused.

The City of Johannesburg has launched a new Debt Relief Programme to help residents and businesses who are battling to pay their municipal bills.

Every time you open TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook, there's another slick “debt relief” ad chasing you around. Secret government programs. Guaranteed 80% reduction. Gurus in rented Lamborghinis who “paid off $80,000 in six months.” In this episode, Steve Rhode—the old, authentic, original Get Out of Debt Guy—and the new Get Out of Debt Guy, Damon Day, pull back the curtain on the hidden traps in debt relief marketing you're being targeted with right now.Steve and Damon deconstruct real-world tactics used in debt relief ads and social media videos: fake government program language, illegal upfront fees, emotional scare tactics about wage garnishment, phony “last chance” deadlines, and TikTok/Instagram influencers quietly getting paid to push risky debt settlement programs. You'll hear how marketers weaponize fear, shame, and hope to sell credit card debt relief, student loan help, and consolidation plans that often leave people worse off.You'll also learn how to tell the difference between a legitimate option—like nonprofit credit counseling, real debt settlement, or bankruptcy—and a high-pressure sales funnel disguised as financial advice. If you've ever wondered whether that “new 2025 federal debt relief program” in your feed is real or just another scam, this episode will show you exactly what to look for before you click, call, or hand over your bank info.For honest, no-BS help with debt, visit:https://getoutofdebt.orgTo talk with Damon directly about your specific situation, go to:https://damonday.com

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Risk analyst and former South African Diplomat Dr Kingsley Makhubela following a landmark G20 Summit defined as much by South Africa’s steady leadership as by the United States’ conspicuous absence. Dangor unpacks how fears that multilateralism might be on its deathbed were tested this weekend and ultimately challenged as world leaders managed to reach early consensus on key issues, from climate justice to debt relief. But with the US missing from the table, the question remains: Can the G20 declaration become a living, implementable document rather than another relic on a shelf? Dangor breaks down what comes next for global cooperation and for South Africa’s role in it. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this episode of the Charity Charge Show we chat with Jared Walker, the founder of Dollar For, to discuss the organization's mission to alleviate medical debt through a comprehensive database of hospital charity care policies.He explains how Dollar Four automates the application process for patients, the challenges of funding through philanthropy, and the importance of partnerships in expanding their reach. The conversation also touches on the legal aspects of medical debt, the potential for new revenue models, and the future vision for the organization.TakeawaysDollar Four created a database of every hospital in the country.The organization eliminated $6.9 million in medical debt in April.Funding is fully through philanthropy, with no earned revenue model.The impact of Dollar Four is measurable and clear to donors.Hospitals are motivated to avoid bad press regarding charity care.Partnerships with other organizations can enhance outreach.There is a significant amount of medical debt within communities.The organization aims to enforce policies that hospitals are required to have.Focus on providing value to the community to attract donors.Future growth plans include raising $20 million over the next four years.About Dollar ForDollar For is a national non-profit organization dedicated to tackling the widespread issue of medical debt in the United States. Recognizing that medical debt is a leading cause of financial hardship and even bankruptcy for millions, they focus on a solution that often goes unnoticed and underutilized: hospital charity care.Their core mission is to make charity care – which nonprofit hospitals are mandated by the Affordable Care Act to provide to lower-income patients – known, easy to access, and fairly applied. Dollar For acts as an advocate for patients, empowering them to navigate the often complex process of applying for financial assistance.They achieve this through a multi-pronged approach:Direct Patient Service: Utilizing technology, Dollar For has developed a system that includes a custom database of hospital policies, a simple eligibility screener, automated application completion, and patient advocates who guide individuals through the process. This direct support has resulted in significant medical debt relief for thousands of patients.Systemic Change Advocacy: Beyond individual cases, Dollar For actively works to hold hospitals accountable and push for broader policy changes. They leverage media attention and their unique understanding of both the written policies and their real-world application to inform policy and advocate for improvements in charity care access. Their efforts have already influenced regulations and hospital practices across several states.In essence, Dollar For bridges the gap between patients struggling with medical bills and the often-obscure avenue of charity care. By simplifying the application process and advocating for systemic improvements, they strive to alleviate the financial burden of medical crises and ensure that a health emergency doesn't lead to financial ruin. Their work has demonstrably reduced stress, improved health outcomes, and enhanced financial stability for the patients they serve.

If not for my wife Patty's love of all things Tik Tok, I would not have run across attorney Adrienne Hines.  Adrienne is a long-standing attorney in Ohio who practiced initially in the area of worker's compensation and now works pretty exclusively in the area of consumer bankruptcy.  More than that, Adrienne has morphed her law practice into providing important and detailed information on bankruptcy through her social media platforms on Tik Tok and Instagram.  Fans of Tik Tok will recognize her by her user name and website called TheLadyLikeLawyer.com  As you'll hear, Adrienne is smart, funny, warm and engaging.  It is no wonder that she has so many followers!  As you'll see and hear, she lives her practice with the mantra of “Debt Relief with Dignity.”  Her law practice approach mirrors our Bond and Botes' law practice insofar as how we try to help our own bankruptcy clients in Alabama and Mississippi.  The difference, however, is that Adrienne speaks to a vast nationwide audience of Tik Tok users and, as I mentioned, she provides tremendously valuable information to them.  I enjoyed getting to know her story on this episode of the podcast.

In this raw and riveting episode, Pastor Talaat McNeely of Purpose City Church takes you on an honest journey through the realities of financial struggle and the path to true liberation. Part 5 of the "No Cap" series, "Debt Relief" dives deep into how debt—whether it's a crippling credit card balance, a looming car loan, or a burdening student loan—can enslave you and stifle your God-given purpose.Drawing from his own story of battling over $30,000 in debt, Pastor Talaat shares candid, heartfelt anecdotes from his early days of financial missteps, complete with humor and vulnerability. He unpacks powerful biblical insights from Proverbs 22:7 and beyond, showing how these timeless truths reveal debt as a modern-day chain and providing practical steps to break free—whether through budgeting, the debt snowball, or the debt avalanche method.With dynamic storytelling and actionable advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by financial burdens. Pastor Talaat challenges you to face your debt head-on, trust God with your finances, and take decisive steps towards a debt-free life where you can fully embrace God's purpose and live abundantly.
