What is debt? Debt is simply put as something owed. It is a purchase a person takes or performs in even before the purchasing capabilities have been earned.

Of course, the debt would not have been completed if there is no creditor who agrees to lend the money for one to make the purchase.

Unfortunately, many debtors end up having to borrow money in order to pay off other existing debts therefore increasing the amount owed. This typically results in failure when the debtor runs out of available credit options and therefore cannot continue to make the payments each month. Creditors therefore attempt to agree upon a debt settlement amount instead of allowing the debtor to declare bankruptcy as it is unlikely for them to get their money if this occurs. The process of debt settlement typically occurs during a period between 12 and 36 months and offers many advantages including the fact that debtors no longer have to be harassed by their creditors.
