Most debt counselors say that it is a good idea to talk to the people to whom you owe money. If you ignore the problem it will only get worse. You may find that you are paying extra interest and your debts are just getting bigger every day. Many creditors try to be understanding and if you tell them why you are unable to pay, then they will sometimes be willing to reach a compromise.
