The debt can/does  go up based upon the interest that is compounding daily upon it.  Interest rates are lower than you(Big GIrl) have seen in your entire adult life.  When those rates begin to climb ( and that is getting closer) the interest on the debt will rise and hasten its ascent unless something is done to reduce it.
