What happens when you stop paying your credit cards?

So I’ve done some research and I know all of the consequences of walking away from credit card debt. But I am not sure what I should do. I know many people have asked this same question and were told to get credit counseling. I’ve also looked into that and most places charge a fee which i can not afford to pay. I’ve also looked into debt consolidation loans, which i am not eligible for. I’ve even called my credit card companies and asked for a lower interest rate and was denied. I can not afford to get an attorney. This is my situation. I was young and dumb got a bunch of credit cards. I think I have about $ 4.500 in credit card debt. I try to pay more then the minimum monthly payment but my interest rates have increased and I can not afford the monthly payments. I also have student loans and a bank loan that I pay on as well. Those loans are obviously more important then my credit cards. I pay on these cards and the balance never goes down. I do not even use the cards anymore, it does make a difference. Any HELPFUL suggestions or advice from personal experience is appreciated.

Balance transfer credit card with bad credit?

I have a pretty poor credit score, probably around 649th I currently have about $ 8000 00 of credit card debt with high interest rates around 28%. Is there any type of credit card I could do a balance transfer to from these cards into one that has a lower interest rate? So, I tried credit counseling and they could only lower some of my cards and not all, I tried talking to the creditors but they keep raising the April and wont lower it back down. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you ever heard of debt management (not debt consolidation) and if so, do you think it is beneficial? Why?

I’m approx? Hr $ 55,000 per year, and currently I owe about $ 34,000 in credit card debt alone. That’s not including my car and student loans plus I still have rent, etc. I do not want to file for bankruptcy if I do not pay. I m RIGHTS? To also stay away from consolidation. My credit is average considering that I have a high debt to income ratio, but I pay my bills p? Nktlich.Heute I was from a company that they said such a thing as debt management. I’ve never seen them go bother, but they said, unlike debt consolidation, where it is lower both your interest and balance, all debt-management means that equation? Creditor to lower interest rates. W I pay? Rde a monthly payment to the company and a monthly Geb? Hr, and they w? Earths f my paying for me machen.An this point I can only make minimum payments and my balance f? Leads nowhere. . . Should I try debt management and what are your thoughts and ask why or why not. They said it will not negatively affect my credit score.
