Your Debt Management Options: Debt management is a generic term used to describe any number of methods that may be used to help a person deal with their debt situation. It can be used when describing consolidation services, settlement, credit counselling or any combination of financial strategies. "Debt Consolidation" This is a commonly used phrase in the industry, but is commonly confused with one of it's alternatives, debt settlement. Consolidation involves securing a single loan, then using it to pay off multiple debts that were carried at higher interest. "Debt Settlement" or "Negotiation" When you (or someone acting on your behalf) negotiates with your creditor(s) to reduce what you owe, your debts are being settled for less. Settlement can be used in conjunction with consolidation, on it's own, or as part of an overall management program. "Bankruptcy" A last alternative for those who truly have no other options, bankruptcy is not as accessible or as forgiving as it once was. A court supervised process in which assets are divided to creditors, significantly affects your credit score for a long period of time.
