IT CAN BE tempting to ignore phone calls or mail about bills when you're unable to make payments according to the loan terms, but the smartest action is to directly and honestly explain the situation to creditors. Telling creditors about a job loss, an unexpected increase in housing costs, or other financial circumstances that have led to slow repayment or nonpayment on an account may persuade the creditor to restructure or defer payment on the debt or reduce the interest rate. Communication is key to resolving such issues. SPENDING TOO MUCH ON CREDIT CARD OR FINANCE COMPANY LOANS?
