The stress that comes with the inability to pay bills is intense. One major setback such as a job loss or medical crisis may have pushed you so far behind that you cannot see a way to catch up. Other good, hardworking people pile up too much debt over time as they struggle to keep up with basic living expenses. For many, filing personal bankruptcy is the one legal, reliable way to get a fresh start.
Foreclosure
Many individuals and families struggling with debt problems simply do not know their full range of legal options. For example, some believe that bankruptcy is a path to debt relief open only to those who are essentially destitute. In reality, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often the best way for people with reliable income to stop home foreclosure, eliminate some debts and gain time to pay others.
