College Student Needing Serious Credit Card Debt Help?
I have about 3,000$ in credit card debt and I am a student in college and I cannot pay off all of this while working very little in college. I can't get any loans either even with my parents cosign because they have bad credit. I am stuck in a very bad situation and i called both collection agencies and they want 100$ each for a payment plan and I can't afford that. I need help, what are the options for a 20 year old with bad credit to be able to pay this off?

Pay what you can each month. They can't do anything if you are making some kind of payment. Don't let is stress you. This is such a common problem with college students because the banks love taking advantage of you!!! Hang in there. It will get better.


andy42s
Call them again and tell them you can't afford that. Usually they will settle with something that you can afford.


peach
start paying it off, little by little, and STOP spending more than you make every month.

just work as much as you can and just pay pay pay until you get them what they need.

Have you tried to get a federal loan (stafford or perkins)? Your credit is not a factor. If you are getting financial aid, then call your financial aid advisor and tell them you want to apply for the loans. If you haven't filled out the FAFSA, then do so, and you should qualify for at least one of the loans (not all have income requirements).

The best option for debt trouble is negotiating your debts with your credit companies to keep the payments from swallowing all of your income. Typically, you have to get a counseling agency to call on your behalf. If you try to work with them yourself, many of them will not cooperate with you because you are not enrolled in credit counseling. Try http://www.womenindebt.info. Good luck!

Oh this sounds oh so familiar! A few years ago I was going through the same thing...

If the creditors refuse to take anything less than $100 bucks each a month and you can't afford that then there's not much you can do. What you can do it try to contact the credit card company and see if they will work something out with you. Some do, and some just say "oh well", and refer you back to the creditors they sent your info to. One particular creditor told me I had to pay the whole thing in full or I was going to be sued. I just ignored the jerk who kept calling me and mailed what I could when i could, and kept proof of the cashed checks (just so they wouldn't give me a hard time later on). They sent me new statements with the new balance every time, and they'd still call and tell me I needed to pay in full. I just kept paying what I could to chisel away at it... Eventually I found a new job and was able to take care of it. Another creditor after months of harassing me came to me with a pay off balance. Which was what I owed my card, minus the finance charges and fees that had accumulated. Let me tell you that was nice! If someone makes you an offer like that, try to take it. Better to owe a friend, or family member than have to pay interest and fees right? You said yourself your credit was already bad, so this won't make it much worse. It takes a few years for your credit to improve anyways.

These creditors can be real big jerks. Sometimes they are so rude I swear you just want to cry. They try to treat you like you are some deadbeat scum bag because you are unable to make payments. Don't let them get to you. You're human and make mistakes just like anyone else. Like I said, I went through this, my husband did when we dated, so many of my friends did or still are... In time you'll get through it, and eventually work towards being debt free. Until then don't let this weight you down, because debt is a heavy burden. And if you let it get the best of you, it'll do nothing but drag you down. Just focus on finishing school, and make that your number one priority right now. Debt can wait, because without the education you won't be able to get a good paying job to pay off that debt!

Oh, and stay away from these "debt counselors" they might tell you to call. It's a scam.

Good luck with everything! =)

Have you tried consolidating all of your credit cards into on payment a month? Try searching for credit consolidation companies. I understand you are a college student, but no matter what you are going to have to suck it up and earn more money. Oh...and STOP using the credit cards.

What about contacting a debt management agency? That's what I had to do...they made the interest rates on my card really low and I was able to pay my cards off that way. Good luck!

approach a debt consolidation company for help, instead of paying high rate of interest to your card issuer. Most of the debt consolidation companies provide loans to help you tide over the credit card debts. These loans are known as credit card debt consolidation loan. The advantage of this loan is that you are charged a low rate of interest. The difference between the interest charged on the credit card and the interest on the credit card debt consolidation loan is substantial, saving you quite a big sum of money.

However you should note that credit card debt consolidation loan may not be right for all. Before applying for any loan, consult your financial advisor and apprise him of your problem. He will analyze your situation, and decide whether credit card debt consolidation loan is right for you or not. Take this loan only if he recommends it.

oh no u feel into the credit card companies trap...people give u so much warning to...well dont worry you will just join the rest of poor americans who have bad credit

Don't pay 'em, and let your credit go bad.

Then just pay cash for everything the rest of your life.
