A 38 year old woman learned about $72,000 in credit card debt her husband had accumulated through online sports betting over roughly two years, when a collections agency called her cell phone looking for him. Six separate cards were involved, several opened without her knowledge. The couple is now trying to stay together while figuring out how to manage debt that dwarfs their combined annual take home pay.
Their most immediate need is consolidating the six cards into a single, structured repayment plan they can both monitor, since the current setup of six separate balances with six separate due dates is part of what allowed the debt to reach $72,000 without earlier detection.
