Welcome to the Community :D Take a deep breath!! You may have to swallow your pride, I had to ,and tell your parents.

If you can tell us what type of debt you have

The names of the companies you ae dealing with
What state you are in

And if you have taken care of the overdrafts at the bank.

You may want to start with your bank and see if you can get that taken care of with payments to get them off your back- they send overdrafts in my state to an attorney, and tend to go to court.

Hello crystalmead, welcome!

First of all, dont worry about a thing. You do have a job, right? If yes, you're good. If no, grab a newspaper & go visit craigslist. Get a job.

Your second step is to open up excel and write down all your creditors, what you owe them, what are your monthly payments, what are your APRs, fees etc. If you need to call them to get the info, do so, They are all 24/7

And your third step is to call the number on the right handside of this screen!

Keep us posted and good luck :)
