The Ethics of Debt Consolidation
February 21, 2012 by Annabelle Rowan · Leave a Comment
Debt consolidation is the process of combining several loans into one loan, often with lower interest and a lower monthly payment, and is sometimes used by financially overwhelmed debtors. The moral obligation to repay debts is assumed in laws dating back to the Code of Hammurabi, written in 1,700 BC. In this code, provision is made for families who could not repay their debts to work for their creditor until the debt was paid. On the other hand, interest is usually a big factor in today’s debt, and the Bible forbade charging any interest on money loaned to the poor.
