I am a 30 year old who's credit score decreased from a 705 to a 519 in the last 2 years as a result of poor money mgmt, too much credit and a personal hardship. As a result, I have racked up around $25,500 in debt (not including student loans and car loan)
My net take home is around $2200/month with debts equalling about $1750 leaving me with about $450 to live on (transportation, household expenses, utilities & groceries).
I have tried talking to my creditors about my financial situation and most have been unreceptive with assistance.
