Help Me!!

I had a score of 586 and after being late on my credit cards for 90 days, my credit score is now 449!!! Please help me find out where to start in making good on my credit cards! I've had them for 3 yrs and I was never late until the last 3 months when my finances got tight!

Re: Help Me!!

Do you have any money to pay on them? If so, I would suggest immediately contacting each CC company, explain your circumstances, and ask for a repayment plan. At this point, the worst thing you can do is ignore them. If you do, they will go to collection/charge-off, which will damage your credit even more, and you will risk being sued.Smiley Sad

Re: Help Me!!

Hi tlr1212....and Welcome to the forums,

 

I agree with birdwriter. Are your  finances any better now? How many cards are you behind on?

Are there any expenses you can cut back on?? or have you already done that?

 

Sorry for all the questions.Smiley Sad  We would need a little more info to help you.

Don't feel bad....most of us have been where you are now. Look forward to hearing from youSmiley Wink
