My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. I am in Chicago, in case local advice matters. I listed every subscription and found several I forgot. Did any lender work with you?

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $600 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
