My debt isn’t at all anything bad. I believe I may owe close to $2500 in debt and I want get in touch with a creditor to make payments. Is that amount too low? How does it work? Will they make my debt lower? thanks!

    Credit cards are unsecured loans. So you can just refuse to pay it back completely. Or you can negotiate special arrangements for financial hardship with the debt management team.
    You may also transfer your current balance to a lower interset rate loan or another card. But there are hidden transfer fees and government admin fees that applies for it.

    Consumer credit counseling sounds ideal but really will hurt you. As a former credit analyst for the worlds largest bank, we treated CCC’s as bankruptcies, in turn requiring a higher down, less of a line of credit, or even decline. Call your creditor and renegotiate the terms, if they tell you no, well they did their job, be insistent, calm and collected. Right now banks etc. are wheelin and dealin.
