The problem of being able to pay credit cards and debt collectors may have snuck up on you. It may have been getting harder and harder to make the money last paycheck to paycheck. Or, perhaps you were suddenly laid off and were not able to immediately replace your job. Whatever the reason, you cannot keep going on trying to juggle who gets paid when there are more debts than money available.
Bankruptcy…, yes it does have a scary sound. But filing bankruptcy fixes the problem by making the debt go away and creating the conditions to build good credit. Filing bankruptcy is letting your creditors know you recognize a problem and will be able to get relief from the stress of getting phone calls and trying to appease them. There are different types of bankruptcy, and different procedures according to what is best for you.
