I am about $8k in debt. My credit score is a 600 rolleyes.gif, and my income is so crappy.. that I don't even want to post it.

I was in more debt, but I have paid a lot of it off.

Should I get a consolidated loan, and put all of my bills into one?

I asked someone, and they said they could only give me a credit line of $2200, or something.

I'm just so confused.. and I just want to not worry about making 5 payments a month.

Does anyone have experience in this kind of thing, and could help me out?

I'm going to go to the bank sometime this week and see what I can do, but I'd like a little advice beforehand.

I am STRESSED to the MAX. frown.gif

My advice is get rid of the credit cards.

I don't use any.. I have one only at the moment.. and I either don't use it, or pay it off every month. All of the other cards are cancelled.

How does getting 1 big loan equal more debt? Wouldn't it be easier with one monthly payment and a low interest rate? My interest rates are between 13 and 23%.

I have been to college. I am in college. Idk what would make you say that.
