Bankruptcy: Get Out of Debt Safely And Legally
Many people find themselves in the position of facing overwhelming debt, with constant calls from creditors and no obvious way out. For some, job loss sent them into a downward spiral and they are now unable to pay their bills and meet their responsibilities. For others, a recent divorce or costly medical emergency drained their resources, leaving them in a very difficult financial situation.
In situations like the above, bankruptcy can be used as a tool to turn your financial situation around before things get any worse. Unfortunately, a lot of people are fed all kinds of misinformation about bankruptcy. They may have heard that bankruptcy will only make their situation worse and/or that if they do file bankruptcy, it will take them forever to rebuild their credit.
Sadly, some of this misinformation also comes from well-meaning friends and family who just tell you what they have heard from others, without verifying whether such information was even true or not. So, what often happens is that people who need help so badly end up doing NOTHING for fear of making a mistake.
Over the last 20 years, I have seen a lot of clients who could have turned their situation around much sooner and kept more all of their assets had they filed bankruptcy before things got worse. I have seen a lot of people deplete their savings, retirement plans, etc. while trying to keep afloat but in the end, they ended up filing bankruptcy anyway. With proper planning and guidance, they could have obtained the debt relief that they needed without sacrificing what they have worked so hard for their entire lives.
Of course, no one solution fits every situation. Your financial situation should be carefully evaluated by an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who can help you understand the options you may have available. By doing this, you can make an informed choice in taking the steps needed toward financial freedom. There is no need to suffer needlessly in debt if the law provides a remedy for your situation. You owe it to yourself and your family to at least know all your legal options.
Debt problems can happen to anyone. I understand that they can be overwhelming and can cause a lot of sleepless nights and constant worrying about the future. But things don’t have to be that way and you may have options that you didn’t even know existed. There is no shame in filing bankruptcy if that is what you need to do in order to start over and provide a better future not only for yourself and your family. That is what the federal bankruptcy laws are for- to help people who can no longer help themselves.
