An article about this is written on CNN Money.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) – Good news: Lenders are ramping up their attempts to help troubled home borrowers.

Now for the bad: Most of the mortgage fixes being deployed are destined to fail.

But a recent report issued by the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) found that 53% of borrowers who had their mortgages modified in the first half of 2008 were already at least two months delinquent again. The report covered 60% of the outstanding primary mortgages.

Meanwhile, foreclosures remain on the rise: More than a million homes have been repossessed since the start of the meltdown.

Did you know that every year, $121.4 billion is spent using credit cards from the time between Thanksgiving to Christmas? Chances are that you too are one of those people.

Over the past 20 years, the debt consolidation industry has soared and increased significantly. If you are so completely overwhelmed in debt and are considering bankruptcy, you may want to look into debt consolidation as a better option. Debt consolidation allows you to pool all of your smaller and individual debts into a larger ‘consolidation loan’, thus making it easy for you to pay as you will only have to make  one monthly payment, provided that you do not get yourself into a new debt. If your monthly payment is affordable, you will eventually pay off all the debt you are in.
