? If your credit isn't in terrible shape, can you reduce your other expenses, even if it means making hard choices or just change your lifestyle to fit your income? Some ways to do this:

1. Selling the second car
2. Pulling equity out of your home
3. Applying for a non secured signature loan
4. Loan from a relative
5. Selling your home and paying off your debts with the proceeds and then renting
6. Cashing out your 401K/retirement benefits
7. Selling family heirlooms/jewelry/guns

? If your credit is already gone or one of the above isn't an option, go through Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS). Check your yellow pages for the local number. In this way you're paying off your debts as if you were in a Chapter 13 BK, but you don't file a BK.
? If CCCS won't take you, you may want to consider bankruptcy. Doing a Chapter 13 takes longer, but your credit is in a little better standing than if you do a Chapter 7. In the chapter 13 they give you up to 5 years to pay off your debts. The disadvantage is that you're in BK for up to 5 years plus your credit report shows your BK for 7 more years after you have finished paying off your debts.
? If you are so far in debt that you can never repay it, then the best solution may be a Chapter 7 BK. A Chapter 7 is the least desirable credit wise, but you are typically out of BK in 6 months and you don't have to repay any debt. The disadvantage is that this shows on your credit report for 10 years from the date of filing your BK, and creditors are starting to tighten their credit requirements, and you may have a tough time getting future financing.
