You can contact your public assistance office, The good will, the salvation army, or catholic services may help. Been down the same road you are now. Good luck! Also if you call the power company, most times they will be willing to set up payment arrangements.

Im really good at this sort of thing, I do this for a living( not set budgets) but loan according to debt to income ratios. so you need to let me know what other bills you have.I would love to help, Email me.

I believe you need some sort of photo id and a credit card/debit card.  Do you have a social security card?  Maybe that along with a recent bill will be helpful.

Hi PaintedTiger, \n\n Well you have certainly painted yourself into this corner, haven't you now? I know, I know, bad joke, but hey what can I say? You gave me that joke. \n The first thing I would suggest is that you call your creditors and explain your situation and ask for an extension. You would be surprised how often creditors are willing to work out a payment arrangement with you. If you blow them off or wait too long, then you will pay the price. Call them today!!\n  As for your utilities, gas, electric or heat, there are a number of community programs available depending on where you live. I suggest you contact your local city hall or maybe the library and ask for assistance. If your in a cold climate I know there have been a number of oil assistant programs. Check on those if needed. \n  Well I hope this info helps and please keep a positive attitude, because in the grand scheme of things, this is no biggie, no smallie either.

The best and easiest way to do this is to open a PayPal account http://www.paypal.com and link your regular chec king to this new one.  Then you can pay any bills online.  Note that Verizon will allow you to pay your bill at their site http://www.verizon.net  Paypal is a sister company of eBay and is highly respected for Internet commerce.  Hope this helps

I provided a link for the free credit report from the government. As for your medical bills. Call the doctors and explain to them your situtation. Some doctors are known to reduce their bill and sometime even write them off. If your bills are with a hospital, call them and try to work off a payment plan. The best way to do this is to sit down and write a budget for the month. Make sure you list your home, food, and utilities first. Next, car and gas payments. Then other bills, like daycare. Make sure you have all the money going towards something. Just be honest with them and tell them you want to do the right thing and pay them. They should be able to work something out with you.

Yes, I have helped many, many people do this.  First know that the bureau must verify any debt you dispute.  If they can not verify it, it must be deleted.  They have 30 days to do this.\n\nWith 7 years in the credit business, I recommend disputing them all at the same time, as you will likely need to go through several rounds of letters to get what you want done. If something is blatently wrong with your credit report, call the bureau after they write back and refuse to remove it. Go up the food chain until a manager agrees to remove or amend the incorrect info on the spot. Don't buy into their speach about re-disputing it - but make sure you have provided the information necessary by mail already to correct the error. It will not help you to insist on something being removed if you have not provided verificaiton on why.\n\nWhen you mail in the dispute letter, mail in as much information as possible with it. If your verification is a bankruptcy, send in all the pages to your petition and tab the important pages for them to review.\n\nAlso mail in a copy of an electric bill and a copy of your ID to avoid any delays. See the FTC web's site for your specific rights with collectors and debt reporting:\n\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/\n\nIf your problem is directly with the creditors, write to them ONE time. If they do not remove incorrect information, write to your state's attorney general's office and the FTC. This will get you the results you seek if you are in the right.\n\nIf this is a collection agency problem, write to the same people plus the ACA at www.acainternational.org. Collection agencies are generally slime, so know your rights before you call them. See your rights here:\n\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/credit/index.html\n\nIf you have legit items that are bad, dispute them also. If they can not be verified, they must be deleted. It is not your responsibility to prove they are inaccurate, it is the credit bureaus who must demonstrate they are.\n\nHope this helps!

I'm actually in a similar spot... I can never seem to get ahead. The first thing you need to do is take out some paper, as well as all your pay stubs and bills. Right down exactly when and were you either got money, or spent money. I don't know how you're using the money you get (if all of it is going to debt or not) but if you have outside expendatures like clothes, food, movies, etc., you might have to cut back on them a bit. It sucks, I know, but a lot of times my money goes places I don't think about because I'm too tired to get food, or it's just ONE movie, but it all adds up in the end.\n\nAlso, don't pay off all the bills the day the bill arrives in the mail. Make sure you have enough money just for essentials and then send the money out. A lot of times sending the bill back right away can result in big overdraft fees when you find out you paid the bill, but don't have enough money for gas.\n\nIf you're doing everything right and still can't figure it out, talk to your credit card company or bank about your debt. They may be able to work out a special payment plan until you get back on your feet. Banks and credit companies don't like selling off debt to other collectors, so even though they can be "evil" they also want to keep you as a customer and may be willing to work with you to bring down your debt. Essentially, just live as low to the ground as you can, just getting essentials and not spending anything on any cards you may have debts on. Also, carrying cash instead of using debit cards or writing checks is great because the money is in your hand and you can see literally where it is going. Best of luck

Contact them as soon as possible to set up a payment plan.  Most government agencies are willing to work with you on that.  I've seen people pay as little as $20/month on debts owed to the government.  Depending on your situation, they may even take off any interest or late fees.  Just make sure you contact them before they start garnishing your wages.  You do NOT want that to happen...depending on the debt, they can take as much as 25% of your disposable income.  Good luck!

Have you contacted the company?  That would be the first and most obvious step.  You may be mistaken about being owed money or the company may not be legally obligated to pay it to you at this point in time.

If you paid part of the bill then you should be fine. You need to call the office & let them know when you can have the rest of the payment & go from there. Just hope you're not in a cold climate.
