1Have the credit card company pay your bill - This
is not as crazy as it sounds. Call your credit card
company up and ask them to forgive late payments
and/or interest rates. Ask for the world and you might just get it.
2Sale everything - Okay maybe not the clothes off
your back. I am sure a lot of us would rather not see
that. Look around you, there are things you have not used in years that you can sell.
Have a yard sale, sale on ebay, craigslist, amazon or overstock.
3Sell/Trade Ad Space - Sell ad space on you car.
City buses and even police cars are selling ads on
their cars. Why not get in on the action!!! Autowraps.com
and freecarmedia.com pay as much as $400 per month for
an ad on your car. If you qualify at freecarmedia.com,
you can

be given a new car already wrapped in an ad to
use for 2 years. You can also negotiate with your
company to have its logo put on your car in exchange
for gas money. That way you can save your money to pay
down your bills.
If you live on a busy street, consider selling some yard
space as long as the neighbors do not mind. You can
call up window installing companies, security
companies, and others and ask if they would like to
put their sign in your yard for a fee. I actually use
this method to negotiate down prices when I get work
done on the house.
