Don't be embarrassed, finances are tough in the best of times for many of us.

I have actually contacted creditors in the past and asked if I could skip a payment for one month. Usually, many creditors are happy to help out a bit, if you contact them. What they have no patience for is people that simply pay late without contacting them first.
