Email

The best way to reach us is by email at hello@defeatingthedebt.com. We read every message, and we especially welcome corrections: if something on the site looks out of date, unclear, or wrong, tell us and we will review it. Feedback on what would be more helpful to cover is always welcome too.

What we can and cannot help with

We can help with questions about the articles here, point you toward the right hub, and flag where to find legitimate free help. We cannot review your personal finances, recommend a specific company for your situation, negotiate with your creditors, or give advice that requires knowing your full circumstances. For that, a nonprofit credit counselor, a licensed attorney, a tax professional, or your loan servicer is the right contact, and our get-help guide lists where to start.

If you are in a crisis

If debt is affecting your mental health or safety, please reach out to a qualified professional or a crisis support line in your area. Financial stress is heavy, and talking to someone trained to help matters more than any article. A nonprofit credit counselor can also take some of the practical weight off by helping you build a concrete plan.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you give me advice on my specific debt situation?
No. We are an educational resource, not a licensed advisor, so we cannot give personalized financial, legal, or tax advice. For your specific situation, a nonprofit credit counselor, a licensed attorney, or a tax professional can help. Our get-help guide points you to legitimate, often free options.
How do I report an error on the site?
Email us at hello@defeatingthedebt.com with the page and the detail you think is wrong or out of date. We genuinely want the content to be accurate and clear, and we review every correction we receive.
Do you respond to every message?
We read everything that comes in and aim to respond, with priority on corrections and questions about the content. We cannot, however, provide one-on-one financial counseling by email, since that requires the full picture and proper credentials.

Keep exploring

Defeating the Debt is an independent educational resource. The content here is for general information only and is not financial, legal, or tax advice. Every situation is different, so before acting on anything you read here, consider speaking with a qualified professional or a nonprofit credit counselor (you can find one through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling or the U.S. Department of Justice list of approved counseling agencies). We do not sell debt relief, and we are not paid to recommend any specific company.
