With Debt Management Counseling Atlanta Families Can Survive Financial Turbulence

With Debt Management Counseling Atlanta Families Can Survive Financial Turbulence


by Cynthia Lee


More and more people are finding themselves in circumstances where they are no longer able to honour their financial obligations. In many cases this is caused by job losses due to the looming depression and uncertain financial markets. Financial difficulties can be extremely stressful and many people find it very difficult to cope with changed circumstances. However, by seeking debt management counseling Atlanta residents can find solutions for their problems.

One of the biggest problems in handling crippling debt is that so many people ignore the problem. They avoid phone calls and often they even lie to their creditors. This is a bad route to take and can only lead to being summoned and, eventually, to bankruptcy. The sensible thing to do is to face reality and to devise an action plan to deal with the issue.

It is a fallacy that it is possible to get rid of all financial obligations by filing for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy does not exonerate applicants from their financial obligations. In addition, bankruptcy has serious long term consequences for the applicant. Their credit records are ruined and they will lose all their assets. Courts do not grant bankruptcy applications easily and the process can be lengthy and very stressful.

When experiencing severe financial troubles the most sensible route is to get professional help from counsellors specially trained in this field. They can help their clients to objectively assess their financial positions and they are able to provide valuable advice on ways in which the situation can be remedied. The sooner those in trouble seek professional help the easier it will be to solve the crisis.

The very first things most counsellors will do is to help their clients to prepare a statement of their financial affairs. It will show income and all financial responsibilities. It will also list all the assets, investments, insurance policies and savings, if their are any. This document will allow the counsellor to help his client to objectively assess his financial behaviour. Many people are surprised when they see the results of their spending black on white for the first time.

Once the counsellor knows the exact financial details of his client he can help him to negotiate with creditors to reschedule their payment plans. In most cases creditors are more than willing to agree to reduced payment amounts, longer payback periods, or both. They know that it is in their interests to allow their debtors to honour their obligations and that legal steps may just result in a situation where they will not be paid at all.

Simply arranging for new payment schedules is not enough. It is necessary to develop the ability to manage personal financial affairs in a responsible and disciplined manner. A counsellor will help his clients to identify areas where money can be saved. Many people are surprised when they realize just how much they spend on non essential services and goods.

Severe financial problems can be extremely stressful and many people choose to ignore their problems rather than to face them and deal with them. The most important step is to ask for professional help. In the vast majority of cases it is possible to find solutions that will not permanently cripple the individual concerned.
