Hi. My husband and I are in way over our heads & I would really love some helpful ideas. We have $30,000 in credit card debt, $15,000 in car loans, & a home loan for $145,000 (worth $180,000). I work 3 part time jobs & my husband works 1 full time & 1 part time. We bring in about $60,000/year & we have two kids. I work from home for one job and the other two are when my husband is home. That way we don’t pay daycare. My daughter is special needs and needs to be enrolled in a preschool to help her development, this is $250/month & cannot be eliminated. We do actually make it every month, by the skin of our teeth but we have no savings & every time something goes wrong (the stove breaks, the fridge starts smoking, etc) it causes major problems. We don’t qualify for home equity loan b/c our debt ratio is to high. We don’t want to be rich we just want to be able to do fun things like go to a movie together instead of not being able to b/c we need to pay the gas bill. Any advice?

Stacey asked:
I’ve gone so long without making contact or payments that some places I know I owe money to have stopped calling or mailing me bills. How do I find out exactly all that I owe & who I owe it to? Any other hints on repairing credit after several years of nonpayment would also be helpful. I’ve left him & am eager to move on with my life & repair my credit. I’ve requested my credit reports from all 3 agencies.

I see a lot of information on the issue. I know some are legitamate and helful to people. But I hear a lot ( in Consumer Reports and shows like Suzie Orman ) about how many of them are scams and cause more problems Is there a way to find out? And how do the ones that are scams, screwing people over?

Okay so I got screwed over. I ended up paying 21,000 for my 2007 Sonata and I was wondering if there is anyway I could trade in my vehicle for a fusion or anything else that’s a 2006 or newer to help me drop some of that debt. Is there anyway I could do anything!? Thanks!
