Big Problem- Income is less than cc debt, utilities, mortgage, car payment; no money left over for anything!?
Both my husband and my income is less than our debts, this doesn't even include food and gas! All of this due to our cluelessness when we bought our home with no money down, 100% financed, 3/1 (interest only) ARM!!, that can not be refinanced because property values have gone down so much. Thanks in advance for the advice!

I look forward to some decent replies to this one. I am in the same boat as you. I'm told I could get a lawyer to fight my mortgage consolidation but who has money for that? They did not disclose a number of items in the loan.

See if your credit card companies and car loan holder will lower your interest rates or even stop interest from accumulating so you can get back on your feet. It has been known to happen. Tell them you are facing bankruptcy. They know if that happens they won't get a dime from you so it is in their best interest to work with you on lowering your payments.

Start selling what you do not need. Sell your cars to get out of the payments, buy cheaper cars with cash. Get second jobs. See if you can rent out part of your house to help with the mortgage, even if its just a room to a student.

1. cut up the credit cards
2. cancel all that is worthless (cell, cable, internet, 3 way calling, newspaper, etc)
3. sell the house
4. stop buying EVERYTHING but food
5. start listening to Dave Ramsey to get out of the hole.

Listen to him for a week on the radio and he'll start to make sense. Even call him on the radio for more help.

You either need to reduce your bills or make more money.

I had to do it myself, so I'm not telling you to do something that I wouldn't do myself.

Ways to make more money:

Both of you get second jobs. Also get higher paying jobs.

Rent out one or more rooms in your house.

Ways to save money:

Start selling your possessions. Sell all of your tvs except one. Get rid of extra furniture. Craigslist is great for this. Apply the money to your debt.

Sell one of your cars. Or sell both of them and buy one used car. Rideshare or one you you take the bus.

Eliminate ALL unnecessary bills -- including cable, magazine subscriptions. clothes shopping, extra insurance policies (such as AAA, policies on your cell phones, etc.) cell phone or home phone, home internet access, all dining out, gym memberships, eat meat every other day instead of every day, take lunch to work. Get library cards instead of buying books.

Reduce debt: Renegotiate terms on your debt. Go to Consumer Credit Counseling for help. Sell your house (short sale, which will mean taking a hit on your credit).

All of this will be painful, but if it will be easier and you will feel better if you take responsibility for this and take steps to get it all under control.

Good luck!

A lot of people around the country are finding themselves in this situation. Luckily, the federal government just announced legislation to allow you to re-finance your home at a fixed rate.
Contact your lender for help - they should be able to help.
Most of all, don't try to "hide" from the problem. Your lender doesn't want to take your house away - they will help you if you let them know what's going on.
Good Luck

contact your mortgage company - they should be willing to work with you. they can allow you to do forebearance---this is skipping a few months (like 6 months) to get ahead. the skipped payments and a fee will be tacked onto the end of the loan --thus lengthening your loan.

also contact the national forecloure hotline 1-888-995-4673 ---this was set up for people just like you in this situation.

also -i agree - attempt to either consolidate your other bills or contact each creditor and try to arrange lower payments.

most important - stay in touch with your mortgage company---try not to let it go into default.

good luck :)

Contact a Bankruptcy Attorney to discuss your options. Once you get over the pride factor of giving in to this, you'll realize that this may be your best solution. At this point, you can't do it alone.

Good luck.
