My boyfriend is in debt, Today we recieved a bill that he owes a bank 890 dollars...He has other medical bills and doctor appointment bills that he hasn't paid off. However, For awhile he kept on ignoring them because he is unemployed and is unable to pay off all the bills. This bill we recieved today was a bank bill from a law office. I suggested that he should go to a debt settlement office but it turns out that he will need a lawyer and we can not afford it. We are scared and we do not know what to do...He has tried calling them and exsplaining his situation that he is currently unemployed and is unable to pay off the bills at this time but they didn't seem to want to hear it and threatned to keep hounding him if he doesn't pay it off... We do not want this matter to become a court problem.

Lawyers have to do a certain amount of pro-bono (free) work. Look up that term on Google, and see if you can find a lawyer in your area willing to consolidate or reduce your debt at little or no cost. [ Eldritch's advice column | Ask Eldritch A Question ]
