Divorce and credit
by Scott Bilker
I am in the process of divorce and there are several credit cards and creditors that will need to be paid, but I have been advised by my attorney to make only the minimum payment between now and the trial for the divorce. Many of these are also overdue and so collection agencies, etc. call me to try and collect. How can I approach these creditors and let them know that the debt will be repaid eventually, but that circumstances prevent me from paying the debt in full at this time?
