Okay, so I’m about 12,000 in debt. I have three credit cards I’m currently paying on. I called a debt counselor and was hoping they could lower my monthly payments. I pay roughly 300 dollars a month to all 3 credit cards. I only get 900 dollars a month, so 300 dollars is a big chunk to have to pay So any how, when I talked to the lady she said I would be paying anywhere from 300 a month to 350! That’s already what I pay now! I just thought that debt counseling or management was suppose to help people lower their payments! I’m just confused as to what I should do. Should I just file bankruptcy?

Thanks

Kim

Would it be more beneficial to file for bankruptcy if you’re in over your head and owe a good chunk of change or stick it out and in time and years get things paid off little by little. Which looks better when applying for life items such as Cars, houses, etc.
And in the long run, which will a company trying to finance you see as the better option?
I guess I’m looking for pros and cons for both options.
Thanks!
Thanks, yeah still in the early 20’s.
