I've come across tools that claim to expose and measure potential technical debt, such as techdebt.org or SQALE (http://www.sqale.org/details). I'd be skeptical of any software that claims to provide an automated mechanism for paying down debt. The consequences of debt are too varied and subtle to be generalizable.
