- You have been dipping into retirement funds.
- You are paying your bills with credit cards and/or have maxed out your cards.
- You are only making the minimum monthly payments on credit cards with high interest rates.
- Creditors are contacting/harassing you.
- Your home is being foreclosed or your car is being repossessed.
