platinum, my point with the cars was this. If you can't afford your mortgage and can't afford your credit card payments, you likely can't afford your car payments either. You need to be doing everything possible to reduce the total amount of debt you are carrying. Selling the cars may well be part of that process.

I agree. It would be very helpful if you could share the big picture. List the income and debts and any details about how you ended up with all this debt that you can't afford to repay.
