Over the past decade or so, debt has been a growing problem for families all across the country. While American consumers collectively owe almost $850 billion in unsecured credit card debt, the average American household credit card debt stands at over $15,000 per family. Other types of debt, including secured debt such as mortgages and student loans, quickly inflate the numbers and lead millions of Americans every year to actively seek debt relief options to avoid bankruptcy.
