2. Many people do go with the “do nothing approach” and although not the best approach can be a good idea for a temporary solution. This approach
doesn’t to ignore your debt entirely but rather ignore your creditors. This could be the best idea when you might not have the money at the moment to deal with creditors in mass. The worst that could happen by doing nothing is losing everything. The best that could happen would be the creditor leaving you alone. The majority of the time a creditor would leave you alone is if it would cost the creditor too much to collect the property the debtor owes on.
3. It would be in the best interests of a debtor to pay a debt in full when it is a small debt. This would help get all the small debts out of the way, leaving only large debts. The time would it would be a bad idea to pay off a debt in full would be if you are jeopardizing something bigger to pay off a debt, such as paying off a credit card debt but not making your house payment.
