Do I Need to File for Bankruptcy?

If you are unsure about whether bankruptcy is right for you, it’s important to talk to a professional. Filing for bankruptcy is a huge decision that can have a big impact on your life. You should think about filing for bankruptcy if you have already exhausted other debt-relief options, including:

Debt settlement. This process involves negotiating a settlement with your creditors in which you will pay them a single lump-sum payment in exchange for forgiveness of the remaining debt.

Debt negotiation. Debt negotiation is similar to debt settlement. In some cases, you may be able to negotiate your debt and enter into a repayment plan at a lower interest rate, or a repayment plan that ultimately leads to you repaying a portion of the debt.

Debt consolidation. Debt consolidation involves combining all of your debts into a single payment. This can improve debt management and may be available at a lower interest rate.

Mortgage refinancing. If you are at risk of losing your home, you should talk to your mortgage lender about various options.

Bankruptcy can be an overwhelming legal process. Your attorney can help by explaining the bankruptcy types, determining your eligibility for bankruptcy, managing your bankruptcy filing, representing you at the bankruptcy hearing, and more.
