Disability and Filing Bankruptcy- should I file or not?

Can the credit card companies get my disability money like they garnish wages?
Will my credit clear-up in 6 year if I don’t file bankruptcy?
It has been 15 months since I have charged anything on any credit card account.It has been 12 months since I have paid on any of my credit card debt. It is well over 10 times the reported national average. My life situation changed dramatically. My old job was great money and I would be back in it in a heart-beat , if I could. Income from disability doesn’t cover the unsecured debt I have.
I hope to heal and someday go back to work; however, what looks worse a bankruptcy or bad credit? I need advice that will help pull my life together in a way that I can return to the mainstream without some creditor popping up to sabotage my attempts to become productive again. (next time without credit cards- I have made it a year and I am determined to go longer even though the idiots keep sending cards(with hugh credit lines) in the mail.

How to convert a chapter 13 bankruptcy into a chapter 7 in Georgia?

How to convert a chapter 13 bankruptcy into a chapter 7 in Georgia? My order has been in effect for 38 months. Was just informed that it will be another 15 months before it will be over. I would rather just convert it rather than keep paying. Has anyone ever did one on their own without an attorney?
