I feel like such a failure. I took out one hiil(high interest installment loan), which led to another and another. These are worse than payday loans as they do not offer extended payment plans. I’m sick with worry and ashamed of myself. I signed up with a debt settlement company and they took 4 months of my money and disappeared. Now I’m behind and one is already in collections. What can I do? I live in Kansas and earn good money. This is getting so out of control and now my credit has been affected. Please, can anyone offer any advice?
