If you have fallen upon hard times, applying for free debt grants may be time better spent rather than writing hardship letters to beg your creditors to defer your monthly payments. Repaying your bills using government money is a better solution to your problems.
If you are preprared to devote time and effort in writing hardship letters, why not spend that time filling out government grant applications instead, after all, there is very little difference between that and grant proposal. If you're an American citizen and over the age of 18, then you are eligible to qualify for government grants - all you need to do is apply.
The generous free cash awards can be put towards paying your debts, or the interest on those debts. freeing you from late fees, harrassment from debt collectors, no swapping bills between different credit cards, no "over your limit" charges, as well as improving a poor credit score. By paying off your debts, or at least getting up to date on them, you can dramatically increase your credit rating.
If you stop to think about it, you get free government money in return for a small amount of time spend writing your hardship letters, rather than just a respite from the assault from your creditors. You are taking steps towards a long term solution to your problems. By spending a little bit of time now writing to the goverment agency you are heading towards saving yourself thousands of dollars in interest payments alone.
I found a great website that has some free resources available, which you can check out here.
