Companies would much rather come to a satisfactory agreement - than have to drag someone through the courts (which costs them money.

debt increases every day, how much? no clue <3! The National Debt increases or decreases each day as more Federal Treasury Securities (T-Bills, T-Bonds and T-Notes) are introduced or redeemed, and when interest on outstanding obligations is paid. More information on the Daily Debt to the Penny can be found at the U.S. Treasury Department's website at www.TreasuryDirect.gov A monthly summary showing the outstanding amount of Intragovernmental Holdings (IOU's held by government trust funds like Social Security), Debt Held by the Public, Total size of the debt, Interest paid the previous month, Interest paid during the Fiscal Year (October 1 - Sept 30 each year), gifts donated to reduce the public debt (monthly and for fiscal year) can be found at http://nationaldebtbusters.blogspot.com

A debt repayment calculator shows how much money you can save by paying extra on your debt each month. Any extra money you put on your payment each month reduces the principle. By paying just a little extra each month, you can reduce the principle faster. This reduces the amount of interest you will owe in the coming months. Plugging in different amounts will help you see how much money you can save and must quicker your debt will be paid.
Around £350 million. Since this answer is in pounds, I'll assume it is the British debt. The United States has a public debt in excess of 13,000,000,000,000 (TRILLION) Dollars, and pays 53,000,000,000 (BILLION) per MONTH interest on that debt!
Usually around 20% per year. Each state has a different cap on the interest payments. And there are contractual issues to look at as well.
You need to make sure you have all your facts. Know how much debt you are in, how much you owe, the rate of interest and your monthly payments. Then you can negotiate your debt.
