Should I Give Up and Just File Bankruptcy?

by | Dec 7, 2012 | Law Services

If you are having a difficult time financially and you have gone through credit counseling to try to get your finances back in order, but nothing seems to be helping because your outstanding debt is just too big for you to handle, you may want to consider filing for bankruptcy.

Many people think that if they file bankruptcy their lives as they know it will be over forever or that they are a failure. What you may not realize is that bankruptcy can help to give you a do over on life. If you financial issues are because you have too many credit cards and you have a habit of spending money you don’t have, to file bankruptcy may not be a good idea for you. However if you have perhaps been divorced and remarried and taken on the debt from both marriages at no fault of your own, filing bankruptcy may be the only feasible way of getting back on your feet. You need not feel ashamed if you ever find yourself in this type of situation. Filing bankruptcy does not always mean that you are someone who is trying to get things for free, it may mean that you are trying your best to improve your life and do things better for once.

I believe it is alright to file bankruptcy if you are in the situation I mentioned above. You do not have a problem with purchasing things on a credit card, you just found yourself in a horrible financial mess after taking on other people’s debts.

Another time I think it is alright and acceptable to file bankruptcy is when you have started a business of your own and because of the failing economy your business failed. It doesn’t mean that you are not good at running a business if the economy is so bad that people stop buying from you and stop needing your services. This is a hard fact of life that economic times can make almost any business go under and lose all they have. When you file bankruptcy after a failed business you will likely be able to start the same business under a new name and when things start looking up in the economy your business will possible do well. Anyone who starts their own business needs to be commended because it shows that they are a hard worker and willing to do whatever it takes to make it in this world.

Filing bankruptcy need not make you feel less of a person, but rather shows that you are willing to work hard and re pay your debts. This is of course if you are filing for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
