In most cases you can find a Credit Union in your area that you can belong to (see link in Sources). I would NOT go to one of those consolidation people (unless they were affiliated with the government). Most are out for themselves and trying to make money off you. If you do not have a Credit Union (CU) you can become a member of, then a bank would be OK. You have to be more careful with a bank because they are also a profit based business. CU's are not for profit organizations. Consolidating your credit cards into a single loan could help. Watch the interest rate and make sure you are not paying more. You might have to get a co-signer (if you can find one). Also, watch out for low teaser rates that will rise soon after you get your loan (or credit card). By missing some payments, you have probably hurt yourself so your credit score will not be good. Your current credit card interest rates may have jumped up too. (They do that if you start missing payments.) If your current job does not provide enough income to meet your expenses, you are going to have to bite the bullet for a while - lower your expenses and do extra work to get back on financial track. I think a Credit Union could help you with that. Do an internet search on "Credit Unions" to get more information. If I were you I would talk to my Credit Union.

With 3000 you go out and work at McDonalds for a few months and then it will be gone forever. Good luck. Fair/poor will not get you a good rate on anything.
