Increasing amounts of people are finding it impossible to stay current with their mortgage, vehicle payments and outstanding credit card debt; This is not a new phenomenon, rather a growing trend. In 2008-2009 more than 2.5 million individuals filled for bankruptcy protection. In 2006-2007 there where 1.4 million. Fillings in 2010 are up 14% from 2009.
Thinking of filling? You are not alone!
Filing for bankruptcy is not the road to financial disaster, it is a legal tool to help ones credit improve. Its in the interest of creditors and banks to create lots of misconceptions scaring us away from filling. The truth is that when an individuals credit is compromised with excessive debt, the individuals suffer and the lenders gain thousands of dollars in ballooning interest payments. Bankruptcy can both improve the credit score and either control the debt from growing or outright remove it completely. Most people will receive credit card offers within 18 months after filling, sometimes within 2 months.
