Is bankruptcy still a easy option?
By Paul Forcey
Is Bankruptcy still an easy option?
It wasn't to long ago that someone who was deeply in debt would just say “that’s ok I will just go bankrupt”. Many people looked on as part of life, and there are many people who have been bankrupt 3 or 4 times. Every time a person goes through they are leaving behind thousands of dollars of money that can never be collected by the companies they owe the money to.
Historically the usual cause of has been medical costs and after that Credit card debt has been the leading debt in the majority of cases.
Medical costs in the USA can become enormous, totally unmanageable and the stress of it all drives many people to throw their hands up and accept as the only way out of it. This is one of the most acceptable reasons for bankruptcy.
Up until recently credit card debt was just as easy to escape from. Bought too many gadgets, spent to much on clothes run up 20 credit cards with thousands of dollars of debt on each credit card? Just go bankrupt wait two years and start all over again.
Bankruptcy is no longer as easy as it was; the laws changed dramatically in 2005. It is no longer
as easy to walk away from your debt as it was previously, if the court feels that you can pay the debt back they will make you do just that.
Before you go and apply for another store card, or a new credit card to add to your collection, think about whether you can really afford it and remember that is not an easy option anymore.
The debt you accumulate now will be with you for a long, long time, and the dollar you spend on that new pair of shoes now will cost you two dollars by the time you have finally cleared the debt from your credit cards.
Paul owns Bankruptcy Assitance, Bankruptcy doesn't have to be stressful.
