I'm so so sorry to hear your predicament. Do you have any family or friends who you could ask to help you out? What about talking to a financial counsellor and he may be able to speak to your rental agent on your behalf? The main focus is a roof over your head right now so get as many people involved to help you as you can. It's hard to swallow your pride and admit you're in trouble but you really have no choice. Look up in the phone book or call a crisis line. You are not alone.
As for your car payments, how about applying for a debt consolidation loan. Here in Australia we have 'debt relief' which contacts banks and finance companies on your behalf then lends you the money to pay them all back then you make affordable monthly or fortnightly payments back to them. This does affect your credit rating though. I wish you the best of luck and the strength to persevere. Things will get better.

Do you have to be so far in debt to get it? Cause I am only about 3000 or so. But without an income its kinda hard to pay it off. As for family, I have my dad and he is having to go through the same thing that I am. My credit is already horrible, so if I did that I dont know that I would be able to get into another place. I cant afford this 2 bdrm apt on my own, and Im having no luck finding any roommates. I have been searching for the last two months and have gotten nothing back. I just dont know what to do.

Hang in there! I know it seems like life keeps dealing you shitty hands, but someone once told me that God never gives you more than you can handle. Sounds stupid and juvinile huh? I have to tell myself that everyday just to make it thru to tommorrow. I thank God everyday for my son, my reason to keep on living in this really fucked up world. If it weren't for him I probably would have ended it a long time ago. Maybe you should try to find your reason to wake up everyday. I beleive everyone has at least one reason to live for. What's yours?

If your dad is going through the same thing sounds like you two need to move in together and split bills. Call local churches to see about getting some food or call food banks. Call your local health department, sometimes they know of good resources. Try craigslist for a free ad looking for a roomie. Honestly if you can't get out of your lease and can't find a roomie in the next week or so you need to go ahead and move. Let them bill you the 1500 to break the lease. Move in with your dad or other family or friends if that's an option. Take ANY job you can get right now even if it's McDonalds. Sometimes you have to take a really bad job just to get on your feet or at least to keep your nose above water, all the while looking for that better job. Good luck.

And I'll assume that you're either using a library computer or a friends computer, because an internet bill shouldn't be priority right now. You need to prioritize. Living expenses first. Electric, water, heat, car, insurance, food and rent. :)

Call your local social services office. They may be able to point you in a direction where you can receive some assistance. Also, sometimes local churches are in a position to provide help.

do go to social services like someone here said.

I know if your electric is about to be shut of they will help you pay it.

May as well apply for food stamps as well. doesn't hurt.

They may even be able to help you rent wise.

Have you thought about asking your apartment complex if you could move into a 1 bedroom or a studio? I had an apartment a few years ago that would let their tenants downsize for $500. Also, I think the idea that someone had for you and your dad to move into together to share bills is also a great idea. If you move from your apartment it will take the management company awhile to go to court to order you to pay the $1500, by that time you might be in a better situation. I am in pretty much the same situation as you right now. I broke my hip in January and have been unable to work. Luckily my father has been paying my rent ($925 a month)plus I get welfare and food stamps, but that's only because I have a child. I live in Phoenix and they have this pamphlet that has every governmental phone number in the city. Try looking in your "blue page" section of your phone book and look for headings like "housing-assistance for low income", "Human Services-Utility Assistance, Family Services Centers(these are the centers that might help with the rent). Also here in arizona we have a website you go to www.az211.gov that has all the resources you would need, may be the town you live in might have something like that. Try an internet search for "human/emergency services-your city name". For me, I am moving back home to Indiana to live with my dad. My landlord can screw himself, you cant get blood from a turnip! Hang in there!

Craigslist could be a really good resourse to find both a job & a roommie.. just do very careful screening if you get the roomie..

I thought the idea about downsizing the apt sounded like the best idea... In all my younger years, never had much good luck w/ roomies, and no one i knew did either.. as you get older, you finally figure this out.. :P

I also wanted to suggest maybe going through a temp service. Perhaps they can get you something right away, and you can make some quick money.

Bye the way, I disagree regarding the internet bill... We have a bundled service, and we need both phone & internet as good job searching tools.. and for better mental health.. which is important.. I would also like to add that the cost of gasoline is now $4.01 per gallon in my neck of the woods, and those trips to the library or wherever add up quickly.. and who knows if a computer would even be available.. and then only for a certain amount of time..
Speaking of which.. time is of the essence.. use your resources & tools as best as possible..
One last thought, you can probably get a little help w/ food through a church organization.. find a couple of them, and you can get enough to last you for a week.. and most temp services pay weekly.. just a thought..
