What is Bankruptcy/Why Not Bankruptcy?:

Being bankrupt means you no longer have the ability to meet your financial obligations. The bankruptcy process is a legal way for those in an impossible financial situation to start fresh.

Therefore bankruptcy is a perfectly viable option for many. Many consumers view bankruptcy as the most expedient way of resolving financial difficulties. However, bankruptcy remains a last resort rather than a first choice, and for some very good reasons.

A record of your bankruptcy forms a part of your credit bureau history for years, while many credit applications ask if you've been bankrupt. It doesn't necessarily mean you won't get credit after you've been discharged, but it does mean that getting new credit will now become more difficult and frequently more expensive. There are certain jobs and positions that require you to disclose whether you've been bankrupt. And - although few realize it - bankruptcy is a matter of public record, and is published.
