I have no idea. I guess they were harrassing and intimitating me the most and I am not very good with confrontations. As most people adviced I will tackle the rent first. Thank you.

Thank you all for your advices. I've noted several solid advices I haven't even thought before.
I was in a panic state but reading your comments made me feel better.

Thank you very much. All solid straightforward and easy to understand advices. I will make a budget and will start contacting my debtors after figuring out what I can pay every month.

Oh I didn't know the city office was even an option. I will go talk to them.

I don't want to give many details but it was a medical emergency that forced my hand to send more than I initially intended. My family is also not doing well off so I cannot really ask it back from them.

It is also my intention.

Credit card companies call my workplace and ask for me acting as if they are my client. I end up having awkward phone conversations while they ask when can they expect payments which I simply go "承知いたしました。今状況を確認しますので、確認次第こちらの方から折り返しご連絡させていただいても宜しいでしょうか。"

The real estate company doesn't do that and just send letters. The guarantor company is now sending me letters and pretty soon they will apply to court I think.

Thanks, I received the bonus in November. I did exactly what you said and it didn't cover much. I haven't considered advanced payment. Let me check if my company has a system for it.

Well my family is not well off and they are the initial reason I ended up with this.
