Debt
relief is the reorganization of debt in any shape or form so as to
provide the indebted party with a measure of relief, either fully or
partially. Debt relief can take a number of forms: reducing the
outstanding principal amount (again, either partly or fully), lowering
the interest rate on loans due, and/or extending the term of the loan,
among others
It may seem like a very bleak moment but thankfully, there are options for you to weather out your financial crisis.

In a number of situations, debt relief may be the only course of action in order to avoid bankruptcy. For example, if a massive debt load makes it difficult to service borrowings, creditors may be amenable to restructuring the debt and providing relief, rather than risk the borrower defaulting on its obligations and increasing overall credit risk. Refinancing a mortgage or other debt to a lower interest rate is one easy to understand form of debt relief.
