Surviving Divorce & Separation: Ways to Save Money: Contact Your Creditors:

Let's recap what we said earlier about debt and creditors:

If you're behind on any payments for any valid reason, (lost income, unemployment, illness, attorney fees, death of a family member), call your creditors and negotiate a payment plan and additional time to get your affairs in order. Creditors should work with you as long as you make some type of effort to stay in touch and pay what you agree upon.

Approach creditors in a business-like fashion with a plan in mind. Do not be intimidated. Ask to speak with a supervisor if the person on the phone is not acting like a professional and working with you in good faith to resolve your credit problem. Do not hesitate to make this contact.

Avoid sliding so far down this slippery slope that your creditors mention the word bankruptcy. Tell yourself: "This is not an option." Bankruptcy can stay on your credit report for seven to 10 years in most states, depending on the type of bankruptcy you file.
