Tamara, you need to call your creditors and explain your financial problems and possibly work out a payment plan with them. Request them to drop down the interest rates and assure that you will stick to the plan. I hope they will agree to work on your terms. If not, you may seek some professional help from a debt counselor.
Regarding your student loans, have you thought about forbearance? You will get some extra time in clearing the account and the interest rates will also be quite affordable. Speak to your lender and set up a payment plan according to your situation in writing
