depression help: Hello, - Help.com

Hello,

Do any of you know of any credit card companies that offer 0% or low interest on balance transfers? I have about 10k in credit card debt spread over 3-4 cards I’d like to combine. Or do any of you know of any other alternatives? Along with this 10k of CC debt, I’ve got 6k in a student loan. This debt has ruined my life slowly over the past 2 years and I have a permanent “sick” feeling in my stomach. I’m currently in school right now and working at the golf course this summer working as much as I can but it doesn’t even put a dent I’m my debt. I’m tired of living my life this way I just want to be happy again and will do anything please some one help, thank you

If you have a good on time payment history, you should be inundated with offers in the mail. If not, maybe that is why you’re having trouble finding another credit card company that is willing to offer you that.

I think right now the banks are being extra cautious with their money thereby neglecting the people who are actually willing to live up to their responsibilities and make their payments on time. The same thing is happening to me.

Being a student open up a lot of options. In your previous post about debt you didn’t mention this, and although all of the advice I posted there still applies, you probably have some better options available.

Talk to your school about financial aid options. If you are a student at a college or university, it should be possible to obtain student loans to consolidate your credit card debt. Loans are intended to cover living expenses during school as well as tuition and fees, so there is nothing unusual about doing this. You may be able to defer repayment of your (new and old) student loans until after graduation, which would buy you some more time to get back on your feet.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Im not exxxactly a student, i am an apprentice in the trades. Essentially I work for 9 months of the year and then I do the subsequent in-school training for 2 months. I will be done the school in 1 month, but do not have my old job to return to. Hmm
Thank you SOOO much for the help :)
