My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. Any experience at all would help. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What helped the most?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I called the landlord and the card company early. Both offered a short payment plan, which I did not expect.
