Debt problems do not discriminate. They can occur to anyone at anytime, often for reasons beyond our control. Debt problems result from the right combination of factors such as of job loss or medical emergencies that prevent someone from earning an income. How you respond to these debt problems can set you apart from those that end up completely underwater; possibly losing their vehicles or homes.
