You can't pay off debt by borrowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call all of them and work out a payment plan and try to get your interest lowered or stopped.

Then, make the minimum payments on every one of them. On the lowest dollar value, put all your extra effort toward paying it off. Once it is paid off, then roll that extra money to the next largest balance. Continue this snowball until all your debts are paid off.

You probably need to cut your expenses back to the bare minimum. Get rid of cable, cell phones, internet, etc. Lower your electric bill, gas bill, water bill, etc. Don't eat at a restaurant until your debts are under control. Take a sandwich for lunch. Cancel the gym membership.

Try to increase your income by getting a second job. If you have a car with payments, get rid of it, and buy a good dependable used car for CASH.

Go to the library and get "The Total Money Makeover". Read it and follow it carefully.

Go check out Dave's website as well. Yahoo is blocking his site again, so take out the spaces in the following:

You won't improve your credit by borrowing (especially on an unsecured loan).

New debt at worse terms will not help old debt go away. It will make your situation get even tougher to handle.

Borrowing to get out of debt is like drinking water to avoid drowning; it doesn't work.

how about going to prosper.com

and tell them your situation.
www.propser.com

I'd suggest a 0% card for a balance transfer but you'd have to get the score up for that first (unless you have a relative who's willing to let you get a supplementary card and use a 0% rate).

Other than that, 2 options are: A: Ask the lenders/issuers for a lower interest rate. You'd be surprised, they do reduce the rates sometimes.

B: Just keep paying them off. Pay off the highest interest rate first. If your next highest interest rate is the same on 2 cards, then pay the one with the higher Debt to Credit Limit first. THe lower your usage %age, the more it helps your score.
That way once your score goes to even 680+, you could apply for a Citi card and attempt a balance transfer for 0%, helping you a LOT more to pay the balances off.

I agree with Lisa S. Check out Prosper.com. If you are funded you can use that loan as a debt consolidation loan. Try joining a group first. That will help you get funded.

You need a credit counselor who can help to consolidate your credit.

CLOSE ALL ACCOUNTS AND STOP SPENDING!

Go to your bank and ask for help - they will recommend someone reputable.

Yes~ you have several options.

The first option would be refinancing and consolidating that debt into your mortgage. Your interest rate may be higher but your total monthly payment would be lower.

If you cannot refinance as a last resort i would go under credit counciling~It destroys your credit, as much as a bankruptcy would~But they settle with your creditors and give you one monthly credit payment they base on your income so that you can afford.

Good luck!

Practically any type of loan can be wrapped into the debt consolidation process. Common types include finance charges, late fees and overdraft charges, credit cards, personal loans, utility bills, medical bills, car loans, store cards, gas cards and back taxes. A debt consolidation loan<!--allows you to condense your monthly payments into a single, simple bill, while lowering your interest rates and helping you pay down your debts more quickly and easily. It is also an essential tool in avoiding the much more serious step of declaring bankruptcy.

http://best-loans.awardspace.com/Loan-Consolidation.htm

Unlike bankruptcy, in which debts are cancelled and your credit rating collapses completely, debt consolidation loans are essentially a type of refinancing, where several-->old loans are replaced with a new one that has more favorable terms. Your loan consultant will negotiate with creditors on your behalf, so you’ll no longer have to deal with harassing phone calls and daily mail.
