Bankruptcy
For those who are struggling with large, unmanageable amounts of debt, bankruptcy is often the best option. This includes both Chapter 7 bankruptcy, for complete liquidation of debts, as well as Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which essentially creates a structured payment plan. There are drawbacks to bankruptcy, so it is not to be taken lightly. For those who qualify, however, bankruptcy can be the best way put the past behind them.
Benefits of choosing bankruptcy include:
- Your debt will be eliminated, or structured into a manageable plan
- You will be protected from creditors
- You will be able to keep your house
Debt Negotiation
Debt negotiation can be a valuable tool for people to reduce their debt burden, or to structure it into a more manageable payment plan. While this option does not clear out your debt the way Chapter 7 bankruptcy can, it can be a valuable tool to help you regain control of your finances without court involvement.
Benefits of debt negotiation include:
- Your credit will not be impacted
- You may keep your credit cards
- Your debt is simplified
- Lower interest rates / monthly payments
