Personal loan to Consolidate my debt or declare Bankruptcy?
by admin ~ May 22nd, 2009 . Filed under: Personal Finance .
Okay first things first, I have an apartment and I really don’t want to lose it nor the stuff that is in my apartment, I am just at a point in life right now that isn’t good.
I got cut back on my hours at work and I’m only pulling in about 1300.00 dollars a month now, I was making more than double that. It’s horrible and very upsetting.
I have 27,900.00 worth of debt and this is a combination of a car loan, health loans and credit cards.
I went to capital one and was going to fill out an application for a personal loan but they said it was by invitation only. The interest rate on CitiBank is too high. I really would like some advice, I know Bankruptcy is a low trashy way to get out of the debt I created but I was making more than this.
Mind you I am 21 years old and by the time I’m 28 I’d have it off my record. So what do you think I should do and please do not recommend one of them prosper or other sites where people bid on your debt, I am not looking to get into that I just want a personal loan with a low interest rate.
I have wonderful credit 750 and I always make my payments on time, it’s just now I’m really starting to dig into my checking account and I’m getting worried with how fast it is diminishing.
Also I have been filling out applications everywhere for a second job but no one seems to be hiring with this economy the way it is!
