All is not well in the U.S. economy this days. But all is not well in many other nation’s economies. Such is the case in the world we live in – a global village and a global marketplace. Strong economies can raise up other struggling economies, and likewise – weak or faltering economies drag down other economies with it. And this is what in fact has happened.
Credit card debt has become such a problem today in the U.S. for many because of a domino effect that has taken place. One economy started to slow, and other economies started to slow as well. Weaker consumer spending then led to layoff by employers. This led to even less consumer spending, which led to even more mass layoffs. In the final tally, some 5 million jobs were lost during this recession. Ouch. And this has caused many consumers to struggle with simply making ends meet and surviving. Credit card bills? That is low on many people’s priorities, especially when one hardly has enough to pay one’s rent or mortgage, hardly has enough to feel and clothe one’s self and one’s family, hardly has enough to pay for electricity, gas & water.
But the collection agencies are persistent. They keep calling. They keep mailing. They often pass your account multiple times from one to another in a sort of credit collection orgy, if you will. Thus, it’s entirely for a consumer to pay their past due credit card bills in full – and then later be harassed by additional credit collection agencies for this same debt that has already been repaid.
It is what it is.
But the fact is that people are in need of debt relief to somehow help them with the credit card debt. Actually, we should say that people are in need of “real” debt relief, as opposed to the fake puffery and outlandish claims being made by bankruptcy lawyers and their amateur TV commercials. Bah!
True debt relief ought to be able to reduce and eliminate credit card debt without bankruptcy and all its harsh and long-lasting implications. True debt relief does in fact exist today. True debt relief is known as debt settlement.
