FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY
Filing for bankruptcy is when someone
legally declares that they are unable to re-pay debts to
creditors. For consumers with massive debt problems,
bankruptcy can provide a last resort. However, it is vital
for people considering this as a form of debt relief
to investigate how filing for bankruptcy will impact their
life, both in the present and in the years to come.
EFFECTS OF BANKRUPTCY
One of the greatest misconceptions about bankruptcy is that
it will erase all of an individual’s debts and let them
start over fresh. The fact is that only a small fraction of
filers will get rid of all debts.
Certain debts like student loans, alimony, child support and
recent non-essential purchases will not be included in a
bankruptcy. Additionally, judges frequently require that the
individual sell off assets like cars and homes in order to
pay creditors.
Bankruptcy is a public affair. Regardless of what any
bankruptcy attorney may imply, it is a legal proceeding and
a matter of public record. And in the internet-age, it is
just that much easier for anyone from a potential employer
to a nosy relative to find the record of a bankruptcy.
After filing for bankruptcy, it is almost impossible to
qualify for any type of credit for a number of years. And
once an individual is able to get credit, fees and interest
rates are guaranteed to be the highest anywhere. Bankruptcy
is a blemish that can prevent you from renting a home or
apartment, from holding utilities in your name, from getting
a job and from performing a multitude of other tasks that
are requisite for daily life.
