Articles About Debt Negotiations

With the current state of the U.S. economy, large corporations are enjoying unprecedented prosperity. Sadly, this boom is not translating into financial growth for over 80% of the population. Individuals are continuing to struggle with stagnating or declining income despite steady increases in the cost of living. As a result, family savings are now at record low levels, and growth of the economy continues as a result of sky-rocketing consumer debts and mortgages. When reviewing recent leading articles about debt negotiations, the trend is clear: Bankruptcy filings increased 30% in 2005, yet only one in eight Chapter 13 plans were successfully completed.

By taking charge early, almost all payments can be cut dramatically.
