When Should I File For Bankruptcy?
Filing for a chapter bankruptcy should be a very last resort. When someone files for bankruptcy they are essentially waiving the white flag, saying that they have given up, and surrendering to the fact that they have not way of getting out of debt on their own. If there is anyway possible to rectify your situation on your own you should try to do that first. Filing for bankruptcy will absolutely destory your credit and make things much harder in the long run. Before filing for a bankrutpcy you should try to go through credit counseling and individually settle with your creditors.
