Debts and how to come out of it – A simple explanation
A debt in the financial sense can be broadly understood as the borrowing of money or some resources, services or any such entity having a certain monitory value, under specific terms and conditions, and which involves a repayment in a predefined manner over a specific duration of time. In layman's terms a debt is simply money borrowed from a person or company (lender or creditor) which has to be paid back after some time along with some addition interest amount.
The borrowers or debtors often get confused while understanding financial terms and conditions. At times simple conditions and activities are associated with phrases and syntax that is difficult to understand. For example terms such as debt solutions services tend to create an impression of a large number of individuals working in a big company where all borrowers are lined up and processed one after another like in a car manufacturing factory. Or the terms debt management solution and consumer debt solution impression of some serious financial condition where a group of service executives or agents surround you with legal attire and explain things to you on black board. Some terms like Christian debt solutions and American debt solutions tend to raise eyebrows because people belonging to other ethnicity and countries may feel singled out. Even issues related to credit cards usage are referenced as credit card debt solutions and credit debt solutions. So confusion prevails. What do things actually mean? What do they signify? The answer - a narration consisting of simple explanations without using any of these terms and fancy terminology. Please read on.
As per the understanding the borrower is supposed to pay a certain amount of money back to the person who has lent it, usually on a monthly basis. And this particular process is supposed to repeat until all borrowed money is paid up, along with some extra money. This extra money is the interest amount or the creditor's profit. The basic question you need to ask is Why should anyone give me money?, What does the person gain if he/she lends me money? and even Why lend money to people in the first place? There is a simple answer for all these questions. There are certain individuals who have extra or excess money and who want to earn more from it. So they decide to give some portion of what they have to you and earn some additional money as fees by offering you the facility. The problem is once the individual borrows money and starts paying it back, something goes wrong after some time and the monthly payment stops. This creates an unacceptable condition for the lender since his or her basic purpose of earning extra money is not solved. In fact the person stands to loose upon the actual amount lent to the borrower. This is not acceptable in an ethical sense since you are supposed to pay back what does not rightfully belong to you. The issue is - at times people simple can’t. And the creditor tries to obtain back what is rightfully his or hers. That is where debt solutions come in. These facilities create a condition where the requirement of both the borrower and the lender are satisfied up to a certain extent. Certain companies offer services which help the borrowers to reach a mid way point and pay off certain portions of the money owed to the lenders.
Services offered:
The services offered by such companies are known as debt solutions services; simply because they cater to debts and how the lender can come to terms with the borrower. The company acts as an interpreter (not in the actual sense because both the lender and the borrower understand the language) and tries to convey the issues faced by the borrower in an effective way and requests the lender to compromise and let go of some amount lent to the individual. Since the company helps to mange your problems and provide a solution, the activity is also referred to as debt management solution or simply consumer debt solution. Certain societies work specifically for these kind of problems and often provide free services to the borrowers. Christian debt solutions is an example of such societies. Certain groups of people maintain a broader sense of acceptance and deal with a particular geographic location or country. American debt solutions is one such company. Since these companies deal with problems arising out of credit card usage, their services are also referred to as credit card debt solutions or credit debt solutions in short.
