Why Bankruptcy?
People go through changes in life that they have no control over. They lose a job, go through a divorce, or become ill. These are just a few of the many reasons why people file bankruptcy. If you are thinking that you can stay above water and finally realize you can no longer pay your bills, bankruptcy is for you. Don’t be ashamed of filing bankruptcy, because a lot of people are going through the same thing you are. You may not realize that your neighbor has probably filed bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is not publicized like many people think it is. The only people who are going to know if you are filing is you, your spouse, and the attorney’s office that you are filing with. Everything is kept confidential. The only person who would know would be your payroll department. Under the new bankruptcy laws, it is required to have a wage order in place to make your trustee payments. There is no way around it. If you feel this is too much for you to handle, having your employer know, then you may want to reconsider or possibly see if you qualify to file a chapter 7. In that case, you better start thinking about what items you want to keep and what you want to give back. If you are delinquent on a vehicle or on a home, then you can make arrangements with the creditor to keep those items.
