 TITLE: How to Combat Debt Shame CONTENT: 1\\. Review Your Finances\n------------------------\nTo reduce your guilt and shame over your debt and, just as important, start paying it off, you need a plan. Start by making a list of all your debts, including their interest rates, to know where you stand. For a complete list of all your accounts, get your free credit report. It displays what creditors report to the credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax), as well as all of your accounts with balances and the necessary contact information for each. Then, figure out what your minimum monthly payments are to stay current with your debt. END
