The Federal Reserve Board says that 44% of Americans are in some sort of debt. Not all of the 44% have major debt (over $20,000) but will if they don't get a hold of their debt now. It's easy to get into debt, but it is possible to get out of debt. Our species does not instinctively know how to handle money. Every person has to learn how to handle money. Some of us learn best from our mistakes. So, if you are in debt, don't browbeat your self about it you just made mistakes. But if you don't do anything about it, then more people than just yourself will be literally browbeating you.
Enter Your Debt Reduction Settlement
There are many financial companies that make it their business to help people get out of debt. They help organize chaos, basically. They mainly get all of your bills together; see how much you owe to whom in total, and compare it to how much money you are making. Then, they negotiate with your credit card company, for example, for your debt reduction settlement. Say you owe your credit card company $10,000 today (it can happen). It would take decades to pay that off with regular monthly payments, as you still have to pay interest on that $10,000. So, the debt reduction service company makes a compromise with your visa card company so that your debt is lower. Say, you now only have to pay $5,000 to the credit card company. That $5,000 is your debt reduction settlement.
How Can They Do This?
The debt reduction service pays off whatever else you owe to the credit card company. This doesn't mean you get out of paying that other $5,000. You just now owe it to the debt reduction service that negotiated your debt reduction settlement. So you still have to pay off the full debt but NOT those high interest rates. So, getting out of debt is now possible in your lifetime. The credit card company couldn't care less who pays the debt off they just want the money as quickly as they can.
You are not flawed mentally or personally by getting a debt reduction settlement. You wouldn't feel as if you were a bad person by needing to do to a doctor when you felt sick, would you? So, your finances are a bit ill and a debt reduction settlement can be the antibiotic your finances need to get better.
