John Bruh Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 With all the bad news and banks falling. Citi was mentioned here recently. I was wondering, what happens with all the loans and credit cards to these banks. Do they get sold off. Do the accounts just disappear? Say if Citi fails and the Government doesn't bail them out and no other bank buys them out what would happen? And yes i owe money to Citi :bangbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 It'll probably get sold off to some other company. I have a good amount on my Credit card from them too. That would be nice to just go away but I seriously doubt that would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bruh Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 damn :ninja: but un theory what would happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 damn :ninja: but un theory what would happen They would get bought out. Everything gets transferred...all of the securities on the loans and shit except the buyer gets them at rock bottom prices. But, IF they were to completely failed it is not an investment bank so they are FDIC backed up to $100,000 - $150,000 per person....although this doesn't really apply to you oweing them. However, there is no circumstance where you wouldn't have to pay even if Citi disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 i found this after you mentioned they were bailed out. just for others future reference. Oh, gotcha. Odds are no bank will fail because at some point these larger banks are all looking to expand and will scoop them up. We had tons of talks with professional investment bankers and by the time this is over a lot of them are saying we will have something like only 5 banks. Nationalizing the bank system so they can control it and not have this happen again. But, then again, no one knows anything for sure in the economy right now.
