Is there a government debt reduction plan?- for individual consumers? I'm afraid none. But there are professionals that could help you, what are your debt types? How much do you owe?

There might not be any government reduction plans for individual consumers but you can turn to the debt relief industry for help. Of course, it;s not free - there would be fees, but you'd be glad that your monthly payments would be greatly reduced in the program. There are 2 programs available for you if your debts are mostly unsecured (credit card) - choose from debt settlement for large debt amount or credit counseling for relatively low debt amounts.

Right, and just to zoom in on debt settlement. If your balance is $10k or more and your accounts are past due - or almost. This program is best for you. If your account is still with the original creditor , within 180 days, prepare a high settlement offer, about 75% - however, if it's more than 180 days, it could be for 35-70% (with a collection agency) depending on the negotiation. You can do this yourself or hire the services of a settlement company.

Professional debt settlement/negotiation is prohibited though in the ff states (so you might want to look for a law firm/debt settlement company) or just do - it - yourself - :::Giorgia/ Idaho/ Kansas/ Maine/ Mississippi/ Minnesota/ North and South Carolina/ Utah/ Wisconsin

Government debt reduction plan? it could be referring to The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007-- which generally allows taxpayers to exclude income from the discharge of debt on their principal residence. Debt reduced through mortgage restructuring, as well as mortgage debt forgiven in connection with a foreclosure, qualifies for the relief.

you guys are right, there's no Government debt reduction plan for individual consumers - it's probably just a concept - which resulted in several acts - like the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (h
