Answer 8

Go bankropt!!! Get rid of all your bills, and don't use credit cards ever again!!! These companies make it too easy to get one, and they keep giving you incentives to BUY more stuff! It's their own fault, and you are only human.  Bankruptcy doesn't cost that much, go find a legal aid, I had mine done for less than $300
