What to do if you have credit card debts

Hi,

I am staying in Abu Dhabi with my husband & 7 years old daughter. My husband was working in a big construction company from the year 1996. In October 2015, he got terminated due to which he went in depression.

He got another job but due to depression, he was not going to work regularly. The company terminated him. He doesn't have a job for 2 months & he is not in the position to look for the job as he has depression again.

He was having 3 credit cards. During his first job, he paid regularly without any delays. But after this new job, he didn't pay on time & even for 2 cards we were unable to pay for around 1 year. For the third card after checking with the bank, we had made installments but now for past 3 months, we didn't pay for it.

I really don't know what to do. I am also working but my salary is good enough for the rent only. Nowadays, our friends are helping us for the daily needs even.

Kindly let me know what could be the possible solution for this & can I send my daughter to the home country?

Dear,

It's better to cut down your expenses and continue paying the credit card bills, otherwise, the bank will take criminal actions against your husband after 3 or maximum 4 months of default.
