Filing bankruptcy is an emotional decision. Having to deal with creditors calls while you are recuperating from an illness, or dealing with the job loss is hard, and often intimidating. Creditors would have you believe that most people who file bankruptcy just do it to get out of paying their creditors, but that's not at all true. The majority of people who file bankruptcy have had either a job loss, major medical problem or are going through a divorce that has seriously affected their income. If you are having medical problems because of the stress from your mounting debts, you should seriously look into your options with the main one being filing personal bankruptcy. After deciding to file for bankruptcy the first step is consulting with the local bankruptcy attorney to review your personal situation. Many times the cost of hiring a bankruptcy attorney is a minimal amount compared to the amount of debt you're wiping out.
