The government is aware of the fact that a lot of people are burdened with a lot of debt and they are having difficulties paying the minimum amount each month to keep up with their financial obligations. Credit cards, mortgages and other types of loans contribute to this overwhelming situation. The government, along with a lot of non-profit organizations has recognized this situation and has established several debt consolidation programs to help you.

If you are struggling with your debt and you want to decrease the amount that you owe, you may want to look into credit debt management. Debt consolidation programs allow you to put all of your loans into one umbrella loan at a lower interest than paying them all off separately. An umbrella loan helps your debt to become more manageable since you only pay one monthly fee each month at a fixed rate.

The first thing you have to do if you want to go into one of the debt consolidation programs being offered is to look for a reputable organization that offers it. It is always a good idea to go with government and non-profit organizations rather than private companies.

You can start your search by going through the yellow pages. You may want to narrow down you search to organizations which have offices near you as you would need to pay them a visit several times. You can also take advantage of the internet. Most of these organizations have their own websites you can browse through. Since you are not able to meet with a counselor over the internet, you can visit several companies or organizations once you have narrowed down your list. You should be comfortable with your counselor as you would be working with him or her in the future. You should go with someone you trust because your chosen counselor would know the most intimate details of your financials. You may want to visit their offices and ask for recommendations.
