In the U.S., there are several debt relief programs designed to help consumers manage or reduce what they owe:

Debt Consolidation Loans – Combine multiple debts into one single loan with a lower interest rate and one monthly payment.

Debt Settlement Programs – Work with a debt settlement company

to negotiate with creditors and reduce the total amount you owe.

Credit Counseling & Debt Management Plans (DMPs) – Nonprofit and professional agencies create structured repayment plans and may help reduce interest rates.
