What are my alternatives to personal bankruptcy?
admin | Mar 30, 2010 | Comments 4
I am severely underemployed, making smallest wage, 20 hours per week. I used to make more money and was given credit which I used, to the tune of $30,000 in unsecured debt. Between my rent and utilities expenses, I can’t make my smallest payments to my creditors. I am striving to improve my employment status, but until I succeed with that, what can I do? I have no assets to sell and $0 to pay to debt consolidators and in payment plans. Is there any way to place my debt off for a few more months, or should I initiation thinking seriously about personal bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy should be only a last resort; Lawyers charge $400-600 for a simple bankruptcy. And it’s on your credit record for 10 years. You’ll have to appear in federal court (but once you’re called to appear before the judge, after a few questions and a few minutes it will be all done.)
Instead…
You can talk to your creditors to make the smallest lowered to an amount that you can possibly pay each month. If you’re not getting anywhere then question for the collections department or risk management dept to talk about payment arrangements.
What can it hurt to try because they are not going to make anything more from you if you just plain and simple don’t have it. They may try to play hard ball or they may try to work with you. They may send you a form for a hardship significance or just question you what your expenses are over the phone to initiation.
So be sure to list not just rent & utilities, but food, insurance, medical, and anything else that you pay on or other debts you owe.
I don’t know at smallest amount this will buy you some time until you can make back on your feet.
Hope this at smallest amount gives you some thoughts, excellent luck.
I have also done bankruptcy, and you do NOT have to appear in federal court or any other court for that matter. Your attorney does all that for you. It is expensive but, and mine cost me about $3,500.
The initially visit to a bankruptcy attorney is emancipated. They will look at your situation and caution you what your preeminent option is. You are under no obligation or pressure to follow their advice. The one I used was very friendly and gave me a honest estimate of my situation and told me what it would cost to file. He shook my hand and said “make back with me if you choose to file.” No pressure at all.
Sometimes you make to a house where you’ve done all you can by yourself and you need more aid. I know what it is like to be at that house, but I don’t regret filing because it was the only alternative for me in my situation. Sounds like it may be for you too, but the attorney will advise you.

The rights of the creditors are much different in the case of secured debt.
There are two main options that we would suggest before choosing a bankruptcy:
