Burn, baby, burn! Disco inferno! Burn, baby, burn! Burn that mother down!
Oh, sorry, like ABB I tend to hear disco on occasion.
But I shall answer your questions.

*Raises hand*

Merrill Lynch (and maybe Citibank)! Oh, you mean WHEN, not WHICH... next year! They're gonna go the way of Enron!
will i be wiping my ass with dollar bills next year because they're worth less than toilet paper?
No, because Charmin is still softer. But perhaps you can line hamster cages with dollar bills?
next year? think it will be that long? i just hope i don't get laid off in the inevitable nasty recession.
next year is one month away...
{{{SCREAM!!!!!!}}}
exactly. it's one month away, and i'm not sure it will take that long before one of them fails spectacularly.
LOL!
hey "pedant" - bankruptcy expert - if my student loan corporation files for chapter 7, do i still owe them money? (okay, i know they won't file for chapter 7, but humor me.)
To answer your question, we actually go back to Shupack's contracts class, where he pointed out that a promissory note can be cashed by any bearer until voided.
Remember how you signed a promissory note? Whoever has that note has the power to make you pay them money. It could be your issuer, your servicer (the person who bought the loan), the servicer's receiver or bankruptcy trustee or new interim CEO, or whatever holding company picks it up after the bankruptcy.
But, as long as the note exists, it's money. And someone will try to get money out of you by it.
