I don't know what happened to my post from before. I mentioned in my post that even though cell phones are needed now a days, did you consider searching for better prices for your cell phone plan? You can do better on price by switching carriers or going to prepaid. I know Verizon prepaid is $50 per month for 5 gb, and T-mobile is $40 a month. You could be saving half of what you are paying if you switched to the smaller providers like cricket. From what I saw, prepaid data plans go from 2.5 gb to 5 gb. If your data usage is higher, you can always supplement your usage with free wifi at many places and internet at home.
First thing is to call all of your credit card companies and explain your situation. The majority of lenders will either dramatically reduce interest rates or minimum payments when people are in similar binds. However, just know that as part of the agreement, you may lose the ability to put new spending on the cards (shouldn't be a change since they are maxed already), and they may require you to close them after the current balance is fully paid off. From a credit and a money-saving perspective, this is significantly better than missing payments and having accounts closed by the lenders with a balance.
I'm really sorry about your situation. The only suggestion I can add is try fast food or larger retailers such as Home Depot and Walmart for cashiers. I wish you the best!
I have T mobile and for my Note 3, I have already cut down to bare minimumn no extras and being a tmobil phone it prevents me to use the a lot of phone services or they chrg me exra like metro pcs -which is t-mobile-go figure or I have to buy their phone like verizon!. I got a old fashion landline for that temp job I had -AT &T is only one here who even offered it and it cost me $48.00 a month with No caller id & No voicemail!! I disconnected it when job was over.
