<prompt> Human: Obligatory: this is my throw away account, also posting from mobile so Im sorry in advance for formatting. I just got out of an abusive relationship July 2018 . Before I entered the relationship, I never so much as looked at credit cards. October to November 2017, I was coerced into applying and I got approved for ungodly amounts for a 21 year old. With his manipulation, everything got maxed out. When he lost his job February 2018 I was unable to keep up with living expenses AND the minimums, so he convinced me to stop paying all together. I basically wasnt allowed to spend my money unless he approved, including on bills that effected only me since nothing was in his name, or Id have consequences. It is now August 2018 and everything is months past due and I am kind of able to make payments again with my full time job. There are 7 accounts all adding up to 9192.87 but to even begin to catch up on the minimums, I need 2466.52 to start. Im not sure where to even start, or if I can even qualify for a debt consolidation loan to pay everything off then make one bigger payment to one company versus 7 payments to 7 companies. He is in jail so he is in no way of helping me in the slightest. Would it behoove me to file bankruptcy? If so, Im not even sure what kind or how. Could there be legal ways to get him to pay or at least help, even though everything is in my name? With nearly 10k in debt and an Equifax 352 credit score, are debt consolidation loans even on the table? Im just at a stand still with no knowledge of where to start digging myself out. Any advice is helpful, and very much appreciated. Thank you.  <response>: Dont file for bankruptcy for 9k of debt.IMO just get your financial self stable first. Figure out your work situation, your home situation, get a budget going to keep your ongoing expenses covered.Then sort out the debts after that.
