One of the most difficult financial decisions a person must make is the decision about whether or not to file for personal bankruptcy, either under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11.

The editors of America's leading personal bankruptcy information site, Bankruptcy America, say that the decision is made even more difficult by the fact that we get conflicting advice.

Most of the time all we hear is "buy, buy, buy". Credit is very easy to get in the United States. Most people receive at least one credit card application in the mail every week. Every department store has their own credit card, and you are always encouraged to use it. No-one ever tells you to "be careful, don't spend too much money."

It usually is a shock when you realize that you have more debts than you can handle. You got credit because things were going well; when they stop going well it is hard to get back on track.

For most people the first sign of trouble is a missed payment. If you miss a payment on your credit card, you will get a note on the bottom of your statement asking you nicely to please make a payment.

If you miss another payment you will get a call from a collector, and that's when you know you are having serious trouble. It is at this point that most people start to seriously consider personal bankruptcy.

If one of the companies you owe money to takes you to court and garnishees your wages, you probably have no choice but to file for personal bankruptcy.

Ask yourself this question: "Can I get back on track on my own?" If you believe your income will increase soon, you may be able to repay your debts and avoid personal bankruptcy. If you can borrow from friends or family, or if you expect to get an inheritance, a bankruptcy may not be necessary.

On the other hand, if your job is not secure, your financial problems are more likely to get worse, not better. Also, if you have gone through a marriage break up, it is likely that your finances are in difficult shape. Divorce is one of the leading causes of financial problems, and many people who get divorced end up having to file for personal bankruptcy.

If you believe that your financial problems will only get worse, not better, you should contact a personal bankruptcy attorney. A bankruptcy attorney represents your interests. They will deal with your creditors, and give you advice to get back on track financially.

Should you bankrupt? If you are suffering from a lot of stress because of your financial problems, personal bankruptcy may be the answer. Financial problems tend to get worse and worse; they do not usually get better on their own.

Most bankruptcy attorneys will give you a free consultation, so we recommend that you contact an attorney today to review your options, and decide if personal bankruptcy is right for you.
