Is bankruptcy the best solution?

Haunted asked:


After having been wrongfully terminated August of last year, and being out of work for nearly 4 months with no income, my car was repossessed. On top of owing close to $15,000 for that, I owe for a cell phone bill, as well as 4 credit cards, one of which I got to help out while I was out of work. Are there any other options to get myself out of debt without spending years and more money than actually owed to avoid filing bankruptcy? Some of these credit cards have gone up 4 times the amount that was initially owed. One of my major concerns is that I was paying the payment protection plan and none of the companies honored it. I would have easily been able to pay my debt had they honored the payment protection plan. I could dispute that and get the amount owed down to the actual amount, but where does that leave me with paying off a car I don’t have? Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m only 26 and the last thing I want to do is file bankruptcy.
I’m furthering my education and do not wish to have such poor credit for the next 7 years. How will I be able to afford rent, a car, and paying this debt off while going to school?

Joining Navy and filing bankruptcy while on DEP or before Bootcamp.HELP?

Boy Bawang asked:


Hi i hope you can answer my question in regards of joining the Navy while in process of filing Chapter 7 or Bankruptcy. I talked to my recruiter and he said Navy would still enlist people who filed bankruptcy but will likely get hard time getting security clearance…i am okay with jobs w/o clearance anyway. My question is after i file Bankruptcy would they still processed me in MEPS while waiting for my court order to be discharged on my debts or let say after i get processed in MEPS then i file my bankruptcy while waiting for bootcamp? (am i allowed to do that?) Theres no way i can avoid filing bankruptcy and i really want to join the navy as soon as possible. Thanks

Should I tell creditors that I’m filing for bankruptcy?

txmiraclebabies asked:


I am waiting for my attorney to file my bankruptcy request. But in the meantime, I’m getting collection calls from NCO Financial literally every 5 minutes! They have even started calling my parent’s home which I haven’t live in for almost 20 years! They are in their late 80’s and can’t handle the constant calling!

Should I just tell the company that I am filing for bankruptcy? How can that work against me? Or should I just keep avoiding their calls?

Forced Bankruptcy?

josh m asked:


Due mainly to a mold infestation, I’m strongly considering letting my house go to foreclosure. I have several other reasons for this, but my question is, how likely is it that the mortgage lender will file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against me in order to collect the outstanding debt? I currently owe 57K on the loan, but if the house went to auction today, I don’t see it bringing more than 25-30K (it’s currently under renovation) In effect, I would have no future plans whatsoever of paying the outstanding balance. Rather, my aim (and the very reason I’m considering this option) is to maintain my current cash reserves, and buy a home with cash in about a year. That said, you can understand why I’m looking to avoid a bankruptcy hearing altogether, in order to keep my current cash reserves. I sincerely appreciate any and all knowledgeable answers!

how does a bankruptcy affect my job or future prospects?

Jennifer L asked:


Will my employer find out if I file for bankruptcy? Will I ever be able to teach if I file? I know they do extensive background checks for teachers, but will a bankruptcy be a red flag for that profession?

Are joint accounts required to be listed when filing for bankruptcy in Maryland?

J asked:


I am going to file chapter 7 bankruptcy in Maryland and I have a joint credit card between myself and my son. What I would like to do is keep the credit card so I still have something for emergencies after I file bankruptcy. Do I have to list the joint account when filing bankruptcy? Because I would like to keep it open and keep making the payments as usual, and if I did list it could that effect my sons credit, even if he makes the payments, since he is joint on the account?

Do you get more financial aid when you file for bankruptcy?

Cindy S asked:


We filed bankruptcy last year and the FASA only goes by current income. Since we both have jobs, they want us to contribute $10,000. We are on a payment plan for 5 years and they take all our excess money.
