Invisible debt - Debtor to family or creditor?

Do you owe more to your family or to your creditor? In Rom 1:14 Paul says, I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. This reminds of his responsibility towards people in Rome whom he has not met. Every due responsibility can be treated as a debt. Also the Bible says, A debtor is slave to the creditor unless paid in full. Bible has contributed many terms to US credit system like SOL (Statute of limitation).

A community for visible debt

At Debt Consolidation Care, we community members are helping people in debt (over 80,000 helped with over 1,90,000 posts). It starts with an evaluation of total debt (amount owed to others). We make a list of creditors and account to list the debt amount for a cumulative sum. At the end of calculation the total debt amount will be visible that needs to be paid. There are lists of calculators that can help you calculate the visible debt.
