So far, weve explored monthly payments they are making, or could or should be making. Now lets turn our attention to the total amount of how much they owe. Again, that number may appear overly high to you, but how would you judge if it was too high for them? When you look at the amount of their total debt balance, do you think your clients are in trouble with debt, are they ok, or is it a little bit of both? Back up each of your opinions with specific data from the case narrative or from their financial statements.
