Hi,

The pharmacy bills have eaten away at my mom's credit limit. The credit card company didn't have a problem letting her go above her limit, which I appreciate, but the monthly payments are beyond manageable. I'd rather not bankrupt her, so I'm thinking that I should call the company and try to work something out. My plan is to lay the cards on the table and explain the situation. Does anyone have any advice or see any reason that I may run into problems? Thanks.

Dave
