Here's my situation.
I was in the middle of changing jobs, but went through a auto accident and trying to get it fixed which has cramped my savings.
I've now ended up out of work for the past 5 weeks and I'm stuck with being $800 over the $2000 limit on my credit card which I owe next week, a few months behind on college loan payments (around $700), late one month and maxed out on a store card ($600 limit).
I'm also dealing with the need to pay the remainder to get my car out of the shop before they start accruing daily charges, an auto loan, auto insurance and a parking violation payment due in a week which I'm trying to figure out paying all of that off.
So it's been part going through the whole accident mess and also being ripped off by the rental company, and part not anticipating being out of work this long and unwise pre-order spending before all this happened coming through at the worst time.
I tried getting a loan and another line of credit as a way to fend off those balances, but have only hurt my credit rating in the process.
I'm in line for interviews and expect to get a job during this month.
Am I in need for consolidaiton to get myself out of this mess? And what would it cover in this situation?
