I have 5 or 6 credit cards, and sudden GREATLY reduced income to the point of barely being able to afford food or gas at the moment. I did not have savings and am now at least 160 days late on almost all of my credit accounts, so here is my picture and I need advice on the best course of action for me to take. Next month looking at about another average $25 late fee and $35 over the limit fee for each account. They are small amounts mostly, but they add up.
1 Retail Store Credit Card - Account closed due to technical error (wrong checking account # entered, so they canceled it) but owe $200. Monthly payments were $20. Now $100 in fees owed,160 days late.
1 Installment Loan - 160 days late. Monthly payment of $30. Now owe a payment of $96 but very low late fees. Total balance: $750
2 High Fee Credit Card - 160 days late. Currently owe around $70 on each with current fees. Over the limit on both. Est. Balance on first: $270 On second: $370.
Now low credit score, loan not option.
