Disability and Filing Bankruptcy- should I file or not?

Written by on November 11th, 2009
unsecured debt
Can the credit card companies get my disability money like they garnish wages?
Will my credit clear-up in 6 year if I don’t file bankruptcy?
It has been 15 months since I have charged anything on any credit card account.It has been 12 months since I have paid on any of my credit card debt. It is well over 10 times the reported national average. My life situation changed dramatically. My old job was great money and I would be back in it in a heart-beat , if I could. Income from disability doesn’t cover the unsecured debt I have.
I hope to heal and someday go back to work; however, what looks worse a bankruptcy or bad credit? I need advice that will help pull my life together in a way that I can return to the mainstream without some creditor popping up to sabotage my attempts to become productive again. (next time without credit cards- I have made it a year and I am determined to go longer even though the idiots keep sending cards(with hugh credit lines) in the mail.

    Call the credit cards companies explain your situation. they rather work with you then lose everything if you file. Bad credit don’t work against you as much as bankruptcy for 7 yrs .
