Credit counselling may be an option, but with $80,000 in charge card debt you may find that things are a little more severe than credit counseling can handle. You may want to contact a licensed trustee and look at the filing of a consumer proposals. This is a little different than credit counselling as it allows you to negotiate a settlement off the principle of your debt where credit counseling is typically going to pay things in full. However, the consumer proposals has the same impact on credit as credit counseling, so you will likely find yourself further ahead (i.e. same impact on credit but costs you less).
