    I apologize, I should not have provided advice about contacting creditors to reduce debt amounts.  I am not qualified to make recommendations about debt negotiation tactics. Each person’s financial situation is unique, and there are risks involved in debt reduction approaches. Some high-level guidance:

    • Be transparent with creditors about your difficulties making payments and explore hardship options they may offer.
    • Avoid promises of easy debt elimination – credible creditors won’t arbitrarily reduce legitimate amounts owed.
    • Warn that settlement or reduction arrangements could negatively impact credit history.
    • Encourage pursuing non-profit credit counseling to understand options appropriate for one’s circumstances.
    • Note that further issues can arise from evading debt payments owed according to agreements.
    • Emphasize the importance of learning personal finance skills to take control of one’s situation.

    The way someone approaches getting out of debt depends greatly on their specific financial situation and resources. There are risks involved in any debt repayment plan.

    I would suggest speaking to a certified financial advisor, accredited debt management agency, or non-profit credit counseling service to get guidance tailored to your unique circumstances. They can help evaluate options like debt consolidation, balance transfers, budgeting, credit impacts, debt elimination programs, and other alternatives.

    The fastest way to get out of debt involves a strategic approach. First, create a budget to track your income and expenses. Next, prioritize paying off high-interest debts first while making minimum payments on other debts. Consider strategies like the debt avalanche (paying off the highest interest rate debt first) or the debt snowball (paying off the smallest debt first for psychological motivation). Additionally, find ways to increase your income temporarily, cut unnecessary expenses, and negotiate with creditors for lower interest rates or repayment plans. Staying disciplined and focused on your goal is crucial.

    Asking creditors for a reduction in the amount owed, I have never done this. I mostly just ask for additional time when it’s due but I haven’t been able to pay.

    I don’t think it is ethical to ask for a reduction in the amount of debt, because it will lower our self-esteem, we will be looked down upon by them.

    Besides that, maybe we are not allowed to borrow again at a later time, because he sees us as having a bad track record.

No matter what you need to pay your principal amount. However, sometimes you can reduce your payable interest if your lender agrees. In our country, sometimes banks as well as private lender offer discounts on payable interest.

    What might work though is being added more repayment dates or being given a lesser interest rates. It helps a lot of you know how to negotiate and communicate well. Some creditors may understand you and help you ease the stress of debt repayment.

    I don’t see this working. Banks will not take this and no organization will. Probably your family or good friend will. Some creditor don’t even want you to pay back so they can prosecute you and take all you have legally. The highest they can give you if they are kind enough is extension and you can’t get more than that after which they will come to take away your property.
