You don't have to prove a debt isn't yours.
The collector has to prove it IS.
Under the FDCPA you have 30 days to demand validation in writing, and collection has to pause until they verify it. Old debts that were bought and sold often can't be validated at all.
How to make them prove it 👇
Results vary by individual circumstances.

MoneyLion asked our founder Nick Avila what salary Gen Z needs to stop relying on their parents. His answer: debt matters more than income.
Two people earn $70K — one's independent, one's still asking dad for car insurance money. The difference is what they owe.

Financial content is everywhere — so why is money knowledge slipping?
Our founder Nick Avila told MoneyLion the gap isn't information, it's execution: "Knowing the right move and being able to make it under pressure are two different skills, and we only teach the first one."

Nearly 1 in 4 "buy now, pay later" users fell behind last year. Our founder told @BestMoneyCom: when BNPL balances scatter across apps, rolling them into one fixed monthly payment can "buy back control" — one payment, one date. Just stop opening new ones. https://t.co/EskQulsR9h

"June is the right time to get ahead of that math, not September." 👇

The IRS would genuinely rather set up a payment plan than chase you forever.
A levy is slow and expensive for them. A steady monthly payment isn't.
If you owe $50K or less, you can often set up an installment agreement — up to 72 months — without an invasive financial review. Stay current, and the levies and garnishments come off the table.
The catch: file all your returns first. Always.
Full breakdown of how IRS installment agreements work 👇

→ Settle when the balance is beyond reach
→ Validate when a collector can't prove it's yours
Cards just hit $1.25T at rates above 21%. Results vary.

Founder Nick Avila on the costs blowing up Gen Z budgets:
Auto insurance "climbs on autopilot." Re-quoting it once a year is "one of the highest-return budget moves a 25-year-old can make."

$20,000 in credit card debt isn't one wall. It's a fork with 4 real paths.
The trap isn't the number — it's paying the minimum and hoping. At ~21% APR, that's ~$350/mo in interest before you touch the principal.

Founder Nick Avila on why cutting up old credit cards can backfire:
"Your credit score doesn't read it as discipline. It reads it as less available credit and a shorter history."

Founder Nick Avila on the "singles tax" — why $75K doesn't stretch as far for solo earners: one income, every fixed cost, no backup.
The fix isn't a bigger limit. It's a bigger buffer.
