I'm in need of advise and hope someone here can help me. I've had some bad things happen and have made some bad choices, between major medical with my husband and daughter both over the last several years, plus the economy. I let several of my credit cards go, I tried to work with the original creditors at first, but got nowhere. Anyway, I have a collection agency calling me now on one that has been charged off, part of me wants to pick up the phone and deal with and the other part of me wants to bury my head in the ground.
