I owe 55k, lost about 18k a year in income.. I and behind with BOA 120 days and they cut my interest to 8.0%, But making payment is still tough, they suggested I contact my other cards and get them to reduce interest rates, Lowes is 24.99% default rate.

Do I need to go to a Debt Management Co, or can I make the calls and get things reduced
I have

Household, Discover, 2 Capital ones,Lowes, a couple others I have paid down under $600.oo

Thanks
Mikey


You can do it yourself. Call each of your creditors and let them know you're having a financial hardship. Many of them will have a "hardship" program available and they will lower your interest AND reduce your payment. If you're uncomfortable negotiating over the phone, you could also send letters to your creditors with your proposal. Make sure you figure out how much you can actually afford to pay so you'll be able to honor your agreement.

What are you talking about? My income was reduced 18k, I did not lose it....

but a $1500 a month reduction hurts, Instead of not paying my bills like some, I want to pay off but need a little help from the Cc to keep up until I start make more money
