The best bet is to definitely try to work with these companies to try and make payment arrangements. I know exactly what you are going through, as I myself am going through the same thing. I would also consider of maybe working a second job if at all possible to get you where you need to be. Wish you the Best ch!!!

Hey ch!
Most companies are pretty lenient when you're up front and honest about your situation. Try to pay each company a little something every month, even if it's not the full bill.
If you can, try to get a second or side job...It's extra work, but it feels great when that additional paycheck comes in!

I did the second job gig for some time until I could no longer afford a babysitter. It did feel good to have the extra money to pay bills.

I know it is so hard but I could use the extra money and I mean I really don't get paid that much at my other job so it couldn't hurt to try to work two jobs I mean if it doesn't work out I still have my other job right!

I work from about 6-3, with a pet sitting job during my hour lunch. It's tough, fast paced and often stressful...but the money is worth it. Now that I get that extra check on mondays, I can actually afford food! LOL!
Last night, my fiance and I had another BUDGET at the grocery store...except this time, the budget was $9.65. That's when my debt experience kicked in---I was able to buy a bottle of Coke (I NEED MY CAFFEINE), small thin steaks, a can of green beans, a bag of Funyuns and two candy bars....there you go, dinner and dessert! LOL! All came to about $9.26.
