The first step to get through your debt problems is to decide to actually do something about it. Your debt may seem overwhelming and too much to handle, but it's not. Just tell yourself "I am going to be debt-free" and give yourself a time-frame to complete your goal. This is considered one of the best financial decisions a person can make.
One way of getting through debt problems is to get a debt consolidation loan. But this is a catch 22 because in order to get these loans, you must possess a good credit rating. Most people in debt will not have amazing credit unless they are recently in debt, which means it probably is not that bad. However, if that is the case for you, more power to you with your debt consolidation loan.
If you do not fall into this category, there is another option. There is a service called a debt help agency. These agencies will work with you in any way possible to help you become debt free. Most people that use debt help agencies pay a monthly fee for the help, but there are certain other agencies that are non-profit that will not charge for their services. These non-profit agencies will not try to scam you or commit fraud like some paid agencies that are only out to get your money (much of what you're trying to get rid of now). The debt help services can help to get your interest reduced and your late fees waived.
The physical step you are going to take, is research what debt help agency would work for you. There are many factors in determining what debt help agency would work for you such as price, location, and customer service. Always remember to get your quotes from each agency that you visit.
