Financial Challenges Support Group
This community is for people who are struggling to meet financial obligations of any kind. Financial challenges include everything from the day-to-day challenges of making ends meet to managing credit card debt to bankruptcy. Get support from others who are going through similar obstacles on the road back to financial stability.
I am in year two of the collections game with credit card debt ($30000). I live a sober life, so financial amends have to happen. I pay child support and do not have a good job yet (poor work history due to drinking).
Do I wait the five remaining years to clear the collections or eventually pay off some of it when the right job hits? I get hassled everyday by collectors, but ignore it. I have stopped using all credit cards except Firestone when needed and pay everything on time now.

...that's a tough call, some choices are so close in consequences, either one you chose end up not much better than the other choice. I always talk to who I owe. It seems to work better that way.
