Debt Consolidation Options and Information
Imagine a world in which you had no debt. You had no mortgage payments to make, you owned your vehicles in full and you always kept credit cards at a zero balance. Unfortunately, this isn't the case for the majority of Americans today.
In fact, U.S. consumer borrowing rose more than forecast in November 2007 as Americans used credit cards and auto loans to add to a record amount of debt. According to the Federal Reserve Board, consumer credit increased $15.4 billion for the month to $2.51 trillion.1
