Debt is that which is owed; usually referencing assets owed, but the term can also cover moral obligations and other interactions not requiring money. In the case of assets, debt is a means of using future purchasing power in the present before a summation has been earned. Some companies and corporations use debt as a part of their overall corporate finance strategy. A debt is created when a creditor agrees to lend a sum of assets to a debtor. In modern society, debt is usually granted with expected repayment; in many cases, plus interest. Historically, debt was responsible for the creation of indentured servants. From Wikipedia under the

What happens when someone pays his debt in a fractional-reserve banking system? Is only his past debt subtracted from the reserve or also all subsequent debts that was loaned to other people with his initial debt? For instance, a person A borrows 100$ then it becomes part of the reserve, then a person B can borrows from his deposit 80$, then a person C 64$, given a reserve requirement of 10% for banks. Asked by George B - Wed Dec 31 17:45:41 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think you have it backwards. When person A borrows $100, it does not become part of the reserve. But I understand your real question. Say the bank gets a deposit of $100. The reserve requirement says that for each $100 it has in deposits, it can issue X dollars in loans. So a $100 deposit increases its ability to make loans by $X. Now suppose it has already loaned out all that it is allowed to. If a borrower repays the loan, the bank has less outstanding than it is allowed to, and so can loan that money out again. Now suppose a depositor wants his money back. Now the bank has less money and so it is not allowed to loan out as much. If it has actually loaned to its limit, it is in trouble and either has to call in some loans or get… [cont.] Answered by simplicitus - Thu Jan 1 21:30:43 2009 What is the best debt counseling company? Q. What is the best debt counseling company? I'm trying to help my friend get out of massive credit card debt. I need a good, reliable debt counseling company. Asked by Johnny - Fri Mar 27 16:13:55 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The best one? YOU. You are best one to take care of this problem. Why? Because you have total control over your life, destiny, and successes. You can draw up a real budget with real numbers and real dates and real goals. You can list all of your debts, contact the creditors, make arrangements to pay them, and fulfill the promises you make. Get out of the mode of thinking that someone else will fix it. It's simply not someone Else's responsibility. Answered by Watch IT! - Fri Mar 27 16:21:16 2009 How can I get debt consolidation with hospital bills and non credit card debt?
Q. I have a bunch of hospital bills that really cost me in credit scores. I really want to try to consolidate it but I can't find anyone who does debt consolidation without credit card debt. Any suggestions? Asked by A B - Tue Aug 26 17:15:15 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Call the hospital and see if they have any programs that can help. Last month when I ended up in the ER with my gallbladder we got put on a payment plan where we only pay off $28 a month until the bill is gone. The surgeons office also worked out a plan where we actually only have to pay half of what the bill would have been (because my dingbat husband cancled our health insurance back in May *smacks head against wall*).
