You might wish to seek relief under our bankruptcy laws. They are designed to benefit us all in the long run by relieving short term debts that may hinder our long term productivity. However, there are a number of issues, your income for example, that need to be explored to see if you even qualify. Any bankruptcy proceeding will require that you go through consumer credit counseling so contact a bankruptcy lawyer in your area for more guidance. At a minimum, he/she should be able to send you to a good consumer credit counselor.

At your service,
