First off, I am a full-time college student. Ok, here’s my situation–I’m a little over ,000 in credit card debt. My monthly payments from all my cards combined add up to about 0, and every one of my cards (with the exception of one at 8%) have rather high interest rates (19%, 20%). Most of them are pretty close to being maxed out. Having to make these payments is really hurting me every month. I would like to consolidate all of my cards through a loan from my credit union. HOWEVER, due to having a bill that has been out in collections (0 electric bill) for the past 3 months, my credit score has gone down. I know you’re prob gonna say just pay it because it’s only a 0, but I wouldn’t even be able to pay that right now without ultimately cutting myself short at the end of the month. Would this mark on my credit inevitably prevent me from being able to secure a loan through my credit union?
Also, if that wouldn’t be able to fall through, do I have any other options at all? I am pretty stressed right now about finances and would really appreciate some educated/experienced advice with this type of situation. First hand experience with this would probably offer me the best advice to this predicament–what did you do to get out of debt? Is bankruptcy (which I know absolutely nothing about) even a good option, or is my debt small enough to where there’s still hope for another alternative? Please respond to this i am desperate to get out of debt! Thanks a lot in advance.

Can i reset the 30 days, telling them i can’t make the full payment within this time frame, but rather settle next month instead ? can i call them and do this ?
it was a sears card 00 max. I guess interest grew to 00, with 6 months no payment with Sears, and then 31/2 years collections. It grew to 00 total after roughly 4 years.
What should the settlement be ratio? Does 00 sound alright ?
or they can settle for less ? i have only 0 ?
Does settling credit card debt affect my credit score ? Currently paying on Student loan, monthy.
This would up my score, wouldn’t ?
