Should I File for Bankruptcy?
Does It Make Sense For Me to File For Bankruptcy?
The best way to figure out if it makes sense to file for bankruptcy is to sit down with a bankruptcy lawyer you trust and ask them to review your situation with you.
That said, most people don't have a bankruptcy lawyer just sitting around their home ready to help. So we've put together a list of situations where it makes sense to at least ask a bankruptcy lawyer about filing:
- Are you facing foreclosure on your house?
- Are creditor collection calls getting to be too much?
- Do you feel like you wouldn't be able to pay off your debts even if you had 5 years?
- Do your medical bills seem too big to pay?
- Are you worried about losing your car to repossession?
- Has your tax bill gotten too big to handle?
- Is anyone taking legal efforts against you to collect money?
The decision to file for bankruptcy depends on a lot of factors, and just because you have one of the above situations doesn't necessarily mean you need to file. But if it's causing you sufficient stress, it's worth your time to talk to a bankruptcy lawyer to help analyze your situation and figure out if a bankruptcy filing can provide you with the breathing space you need to get back on your feet.

WARNING: Be wary of consumer debt counseling services as well as mortgage modification services that are not connected with a law firm. These entities are not registered, are not accountable and can not offer debtors any legal protection. Often they are unsuccessful in helping debtors (though successful in taking fees from the debtors) and in a number of instances they are scams, taking your money and not doing anything to help.
