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.
