Presently it’s been over a few years of our country being stuck in a dreaded financial decline.  A lot of economic analysts have been swearing to fix the program and get the US back to being the financial leader of the world, but it appears more and more like this may not be occurring again for quite a long period of time. 

We have seen a number of misgivings that have landed us to such a low point in our financial history, ranging from the real estate sector to the auto industry.  However there is another issue that is vastly hurting American debtors at this point and that is large sums of consumer credit card debt.  We have hit an all time high dealing with credit card debt, and it only continues to get more out of hand. 

Thankfully for overextended debtors there are debt relief programs available to people who are seeking out debt freedom.  The more popular have proven to be consumer credit counseling and credit card debt settlement.  Both possess their understandable pros and cons and should aide Americans who are stuck deep in credit card debt. 

With utilizing credit counseling consumers can expect to have their APR’s vastly reduced.  Another benefit of the program is that the payment will be a fixed payment for the duration of the program, thus offering consumers the ability to pay off their bills in a much faster amount of time.  Plus it is merely one monthly payment, which vastly helps aide the issue of making multiple payments to numerous creditors every month. 

There are however issues with credit counseling these negatives are that if someone falls one month behind they can get booted off of the program.  Also the program will show negatively to the credit history while on the program, which could effect getting a mortgage.  Over 75% of consumers who go into credit counseling programs end up falling off. 

At last there is credit card debt settlement, this program can seriously help overwhelmed Americans stuck in debt.  This method is helpful because the original balances are lowered not the APR.  So the debtor can expect to keep around 50% of what they currently are obligated to payback.  Plus this program will help to have the debtor out of debt within just a couple of short years.  During a economic meltdown this is proving to be the most effective method of credit card debt relief. 

The downside to debt settlement is that the consumer has to fall behind on the debts in order for the banks to be wanting to settle the account.  So this obviously has an extremely adverse effect on the debtors credit rating, plus the debtor will go through some form of collection activity from the collectors, this will be very unbearable for some people.

Whatever method is used they will both assist the consumer in finding debt freedom. And in the middle of this financial catastrophe people seriously can’t afford to be stuck in credit card debt for eons shelling out gigantic sums of income to the blood sucking credit card issuers.  After getting out of credit card debt then consumers can really start to contribute to helping the financial infrastructure get back off the ground and strong once again.
