AdreenaTheBackFlash | Should I stop paying my credit card bills? |
If I'm going to have to go bankrupt anyway, should I just stop paying? Or is it important that I talk to a lawyer right away? I'm too busy working to deal with this right now! Will this only make my situation worse or will it be the same? Could I just stop paying for awhile?

Bankruptcy is not an easy answer, they can take your wages for the next 7 years to pay your debts. Cut up the card and ring the credit card company to make arrangements for some kind of payment to be made. Then ring everyone else you owe money and make arrangements too. Best you get in contact with them before they have to chase you! |

Don't file bankruptcy! It's stupid and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. If you insist on filing bankruptcy at least WAIT until someone actually sues you, wins and is garnishing your wages. As long as you make rinky-dink payments ($10 etc.) the credit card companies will probably never sue you. You'll just get nasty calls from collectors, but it's unlikely they will sue you.
Although I don't agree with all of his advice, popular financial counselor Dave Ramsey gives excellent advice in the area of bankruptcy. He is usually able to guide his listeners by focusing on priorities like paying for food and shelter ahead of credit cards, etc. |

You are too busy working to deal with this?
If you don't deal with this right away, you will work for nothing for a very very long time. After the new bankrupcy law passed, they can still make you pay even if you file. So deal with it NOW.
Since you are working, you have income. Set aside some for your debt payment instead of spending it on that sexy mini-skirt. |

You will have more leverage in a bankruptcy to make it voluntary than having your creditors force you into it, garnishes your wages, or puts liens on your property. You should consult an attorney that specializes in bankruptcy at once... don't wait! What if you do not qualify for bankruptcy and end up having to repay the debts anyway??? The sooner you file, the sooner you'll be relieved of the debts and the sooner it will come off your credit report (10 years). Remember that after you file you will find it harder to gain employment, insurance rates can legally increase, and future credit almost unobtainable. Ten years is a long time!!! You may want to consider an appointment with a debt management company that can lower your monthly bills and interest rates to give you a shot at getting out of debt voluntarily. Act fast before your creditors do. Check the following non profit agency for assistance and professional advice: |

I would speak with a BK attorney ASAP.
Keep in mind that if you do file BK, you can still reaffirm (or agree to pay) any creditor(s) that you would like to pay. This helps because you can then be rebuilding your credit within a short period of time by still having positive credit in your credit report. I have seen people file BK and still pay their car payments and a few credit cards and then 18 months later have 680 plus score.
So dont let the BK attorney just include all debts in the BK, keep some creditors out of the BK and continue to pay them.
If your current situation has to do with a mortgage and home as well, please also consult with a CPA so you can determine the financial and tax ramifications of BK, which can be just as important and costly financially as having the bad credit.
Once you have weighed all of your options, then you can decide the best course of action. |

This is WRONG WRONG WRONG.
Making so called $10 payments will NEVER resolve this issue. Debt repayment programs are in most cases a total waste of time. Your credit will never be repaired, doing both of these. Bankruptcy allows honest people who have made mistakes to rebuild and start over again. Bankruptcy will affect your credit report for over 7 years but that does not mean that you can obtain a secured credit card while you are rebuilding. Paying 10 a month fo rthe rest of your life is not a way to live. Bankruptcy will allow all of your debts ( those not included are student loans or some others) to be erased and you can rebuild and start over. |

I don't know what your particular situation is, or how much in debt you are, but another alternative besides claiming bankruptcy is to consult a debt counselor about contacting your creditors and setting up a payment plan.
Cut up your credit cards so you won't be tempted to use them again.
Plan and budget your income so you won't overspend and find yourself in a bind.
That way, if in future you need to apply for credit again, or for a loan, you can say that you made an effort to repay rather than back out without paying.
Claiming bankruptcy will make you a tumor to creditors, and you won't want that.
Good Luck |

I think you need to look at a few things here. 1st ' how old are you' 2nd how much do you owe' 3rd how much do you have to pay per month' and last' will you still be TRYING to pay this dept off with social security AFTER you retire ? Maybe you are postponing something that somewhere down the road you are going to HAVE to do anyway.. |
