With large-scale consumerism and an increase in the spending power, our generation is seeing debt levels which were unimaginable a few decades back. Earlier people spent their entire lives without incurring any debt. At the most it might be their mortgage. But things have changed so much now.

Having debt is not an issue today. Even high school students carry credit cards. But the problem has been that although today there are literally hundreds of avenues from where you can take a loan, but very little has been done in trying to educate people on how to handle credit.

With today's plastic money it is all to easy just sign and make purchases. For that moment you are not perturbed about the bill that will be on its way. But the fact is that the bill is inevitable and you will have to pay for your purchases at one point of time. And as your credit adds up with every purchase it becomes increasingly difficult for you to recover when the bill finally arrives. And to top that there is also the interest that you will have to pay which is often quite high in case of credit cards.

As the consumer debt increases every day there has been parallel growth of debt management services. The function of these services is to help their clients get rid of their existing debt. And the better services will go beyond that and help their clients to stay clear of future debts once they have successfully eliminated their present debt. So the services help their clients to get their financial footing back again and stay that way for the rest of their lives. How does the debt management firm achieve this? This feat is mainly accomplished by counseling their clients and developing their budgeting and counseling skills. It is only after the consumer inculcates these skills that he will be able to stay clear of the debt trap which is such a threat posed by credit cards.

The debt management services also negotiate with the client's creditors and obtain better deals for him than he could have got himself. As a debt management service provider, they have a much greater leverage to convince the bank than individuals who had loaned money. Negotiations can lead to friendlier repayment terms which are suitable for the client. Otherwise dragging the entire thing to the bankruptcy court doesn't help either the bank or the individual.
