It's Difficult to Qualify and May Still Leave You with Large Debts
While bankruptcy is still an option, filing for bankruptcy is now a more difficult process due largely to the bankruptcy Abuse and Prevention Act which became effective October 17, 2005. These laws require that consumer clear certain hurdles before filing, and take an approved Financial Counseling Course within the six months before filing.
According to bankruptcy reform, consumers no longer can eliminate large debts without first qualifying through tests that determine their ability to repay the debts.
The most common types of personal bankruptcy are Chapter 7and Chapter 13. You should seek an attorney within your home state as bankruptcy laws vary by state.
