Hello. I'm new to this site and I've been reading through the posts and they have been helpful to some degree. However, it's difficult to figure out what steps I need to take to help my situation. I am currently in debt to 5 credit card companies for about $75,000 with varying interest rates that are continuing to rise. I have not yet missed any payments, nor do I intend to, but I don't have much money left to keep up at this rate, which is why I'm addressing it now. I can no longer afford the payments as my income has been cut by more than half.
