Debt managing companies offer to restructure your program and make payments to your creditors through them.  You have to make one single payment to the debt managing company and forget the headaches of whom to pay and how many payments to be made and allow them to make the payments.  The debt management company will then make the payment to each of your creditors. 

The debt managing company helps in restructuring the debt by negotiating lower finance charges, interest rates and get financial penalties removed.  A debt managing program is the final chance to redeem your credit.  Make sure to be faithful and stick to the deadlines with the debt managers.  Once you join such a program you will be required to close all your credit card accounts so that you do not start to run up more debt.

Debt restructuring and consolidation programs are basically meant for people who have a monthly income and can make a monthly payment on their debts but just need a little help in getting the monthly payments reduced.  If you are suffering from severe financial hardship and cannot make a monthly payment then you need to seek legal remedies.
