A debt occurs when a creditor agrees to lend a sum of capital amount to the debtor. In the modern world the debt is signed agreeing to pay back certain amount and in most of the cases the money should be paid back with some interest.
Workouts also know as out of court restructuring is now becoming as a global reality. At time debt restructuring is very much less expensive and it is an alternative solution to bankruptcy. The main overhead that is associated with the debt restructuring is the time and the efforts needed to discuss with the creditors, vendors, bankers and other authorities. Typically debt restructuring involves reducing debts in addition to the payment terms.
In some cases the company’s creditors agree to cancel all the pending debts for exchange with the equity of the company. This is also termed as debt-for-equity swap.
This situation most commonly occurs when large enterprise run into serious financial problems and in most case these companies are being taken away by the principal creditors. This situation arises because both the remaining assets and the debts of the companies are so large that the creditors have no chance to drive the company into bankruptcy. In its place the creditors desire to take control of the business as an ongoing concern.

First you have to make a list of all your outstanding debts which should include the amount you have owned, the monthly repayments and the interest due. This will help you to get some clear idea about your financial status before you begin your restructuring process.
Then you can get in touch with your mortgage lenders and ask them to revise the terms of your home loan. But this will not help you to reduce your debts but this will help you to restructure your debts with easier repayment process or to make it easy to manage the debts.
You can seek for a credit union and ask for a loan.

Through this point you should be clear that credit unions can be used for debt consolidation.
