When you cannot make your monthly credit card payment, the worst thing you can do is to simply let the bill go unpaid. Your creditor can charge you a late fee, raise your interest rate, and report the late payment to the credit bureaus. If you cannot pay the minimum, consider writing your credit card company and explaining your situation to them. Many creditors will extend your due date, waive the late fee, and continue reporting a "current" payment status to credit bureaus.
