By Adam Wesley


Are you in debt? Do you live in America? Probably. Most of America's debt lies with its people. With so much credit card debt burdening everyone down, it's no surprise that the economy is doing so terribly. No one has any spare money to spend! Because of this, your creditor will more than likely help you reduce your balances by 50% and even more, depending on what you balance is. Many companies will help you if you have over $10,000 in debt that you owe.

That's why you need to know your legal rights when it comes to having debt. There are many questions each day we get about bad debt and how to get out of it. This article has been written to tell you about your free options with your creditors.

"What are my legal rights regarding how I'm treated with debt?", is a questions we always get from Americans in debt. For starters, collectors can't come to your place of work. That is, if they visit you, politely tell them that you know they can't be here, and plan to report them for doing so. They'll probably leave quite quickly. They're not used to people knowing the law. There are also non profit debt relief companies that can help you get rid of the money you owe with your creditor.

Did you know that if you have $5,000 in credit card debt, it can take you up to 20 years to pay that credit card debt off?For most people, a charge this large on their account would completely destroy their credit rating, and would put in, most likely, into filing for the dread Chapter 13, or even Chapter 7 - bankruptcy. This is not a good solution to your debt.

So, it's plain to see that there are many ways to reduce your debt, and not let it ruin your life. The key is to stay on top of it and not let it get out of hand. Remember, staying in debt and not taking action is a choice, there is quite a bit of free help available out there to help you. Just look for a non profit company in your area that can help you with debt counseling and debt relief for free.
