Help My friend has a lot of debt and no money?What can he do??!?

My friend is a great guy, who has recently changed jobs. Well now he doesn't make enough to pay his bills and live!! What can he do. He has tried to make things right. But it seems he is stuck. He cannot get a loan to consolidate everything. He has no credit card debt. It's all small secured loans that have grown to nothing but late fees and behind payments. Also he has a car in his mom's name that he got screwed on, and that he's not even able to consolidate even if he could. What is the best way to go about this? I suggested bankruptcy, but it's not evough debt to to file, but it's enough to be taken to court over.....and he doesn't have the exra cash for a lawyer anyway.

Where does he need to start? Please, please, please help!!

You would be helping out a great person and friend.

    He recently changed jobs so he could make LESS money? Well that means one of two things. He either has to reduce his living expenses to fit into his lower income or he needs to find another part time job to supplement his inadequate income.

    Bankruptcy will not solve his problem of living beyond his means. Why did he take a job that paid less? How was he expecting to make ends meet on the lower income.

    Ok He can do one of a couple of things. A/ he can go to his

    state or provincial credit counselling organization (you can

    google this) They are non profit organizations that will contact

    his creditors and try to arrange a repayment of his debts on

    a schedule that will meet with his salary. He will have to provide them with all his documentation regarding debts owing and salary and assets.

    b/ he can contact these peple himself and tell them his

    situation and see if he can work out the schedule himself.

    Lastly he will have to get a second job no matter how menial to meet his expenses and his debts. Most creditors would

    rather have a pay schedule than the expense of taking someone to court and basically getting nothing.

    Good luck!

    Do now not lend her cash. It will damage your friendship. There are few matters she demands to do: a million. Stop utilizing bank cards two. Budget: Create the cheap that entails a minimum of five% of her earnings to repay her debt. She demands to reside inside her way three. Phone the bank card manufacturer: Explain the challenge and inform them a. Created the cheap that makes use of five% of earnings to repay debt b. Ask to decrease the curiosity to a minimum of 10% because the funds handiest allows for for an curiosity of 10% (ensure the numbers again this up) - pay attention plenty - avert speakme - operators hate silence. Good good fortune
