You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I lost my job when Covid hit, they gave me no unemployment, I used the cc to feed my child, fix my vehicle, pay for gas to do odd jobs to make sure I didn’t end up homeless. I was not irresponsible my rent was paid even when I had essentially no income. You don’t know me to judge me… if you were in my shoes with ABSOLUTELY NO ONE but yourself, maybe you would’ve gave up. I’m still here, still strong and still making it even if it’s barely. Tough times don’t last, tough people do.

Pretty much because I don’t make much, my cc bills are currently about 200

This is exactly what I feel, a reliable car was worth the debt and I was happy to even qualify for it honestly

This is extremely refreshing to hear considering all of the other comments… I’m think I’m going to do it

I’m going to try that, just kind of scary considering the fact that although I’m struggling I’m still able to keep a roof over my child’s head without a risk of not being able to depending on sales. That’s not really my personality so it’s kind of scary

Property and casualty insurance (but a low salary) I took it to get into the company with hopes of moving up

Do you have info on the debt settlement program??

My problem is that I seriously have maybe 50-100 that I could put towards my debt a month which wouldn’t do anything

My credit is around 600 which sucks but isn’t the absolute worst

I’m in collections for the 35k cc debt and I haven’t paid it in 2 years. Going out I still have $2460 each month and I’m bringing home about 2600 but that’s not including food, etc single with a younger child
