Cancellation of debt refers to the act of forgiving or erasing a debt. This can be done by the creditor (the person or organization to whom the money is owed) voluntarily waiving the debt, or it can be done through a legal process such as bankruptcy.
There are many reasons why a creditor might cancel a debt. In some cases, the debtor may be unable to repay the debt due to financial hardship. In other cases, the creditor may simply decide that it is not worth pursuing the debt. Cancellation of debt can have a significant impact on the debtor’s financial situation. It can free up cash flow, improve credit scores, and reduce stress.
