Chicago Tribune – The cruelest recession since the Depression has pushed people who never would have dreamed of bankruptcy to ask themselves whether they dare file now.
Fear holds many back, as they worry their financial options will be ruined for life. But that is hardly the case, said Tara Twomey, a lawyer with the National Consumer Law Center. Bankruptcy has a stigma and can stay on a person’s credit report up to 10 years, but “people drowning in debt can get a fresh start and go forward keeping their important assets,” she said.
Bankruptcy lawyers say some people who are serious about putting their lives in order often can get a home loan two to three years after coming out of bankruptcy. Even credit cards are offered, though they carry interest rates that people should shun.
Experts agree that bankruptcy does not ruin your life, but they emphasize that those considering it should look into other options, including working out new arrangements with lenders.
