What about Bankruptcy? People considering bankruptcy feel they
have no other choice. They acknowledge their debt but feel helpless
and powerless to repay it. All they are looking for is a reasonable
solution to their debt situation. Bankruptcy may seem to be the best
option. But is it really? The implications and
consequences of declaring bankruptcy, chapter 7, or chapter 13 are far
more serious and long term than most consumers realize. Most are
unaware that secured debt such as mortgage loans and various types of
student loans are not affected by bankruptcy. Furthermore
bankruptcy can affect your credit for up to a decade, as filing for
bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 7 to 10 years. Filing
for bankruptcy should only be considered as a last resort.
