Settle the medical bills if you can. If you’re paying them, tell them you won’t be able to soon and you’re looking to file bankruptcy or just make up a lie. If you haven’t been paying, even better. They will settle them.

Student loans are harder. If your interest rate is high or you have multiple, you can try to refinance and consolidate. I know Navy Federal and other credit unions allow that. You could also get a personal loan or transfer using a cash advance, higher interest but this makes the debt bankruptable.

He can also try student loan refinance companies like earnest, lendkey, laurel road and commonbond. Often time you can get much lower interest rates than anywhere else. Plus they offer forbearance if you go back to school or are in financial trouble.

Working on getting myself Debt Free. I got $1200 left on this personal loan that will be paid in full by April, which will save me $250/mo going forward. Then I’m going to aggressively attack these student loans for which I have $7500 left to pay.

then it’s the big task of clearing these CC’s :mjcry:, that’s going to be a battle.
$482 dollars left on the personal loan. Only two more payments left on it :lawd:

Going to pay off one of my student loan balances next month which will bring it down to $6500 :lawd:

slowly getting there :mjcry:

Car is officially paid off brehs:blessed:
Car debt is the most unnecessary debt ever. Nowadays cars are designed so well, that Getting a lemon is rare. haven't had to take a car to shop for anything other than a funny noise in a decade. Can't remember the last time me or anyone i know has been broken down on the side of the road for anything other than a flat.

but congrats breh.
