filing for bankruptcy?
im 22 years old and have made a few mistakes in the past with my credit. ive never really had any guidance in financial decision making. seems like as soon as i turned 18 i was able to have what ever i wanted. i intended to pay everything i got but didnt take in to consideration that the jobs i was working wouldnt be there for very long. so ive decided to get myself back on the right track and file for chapter 7 bankrupcy and wipe my credit clean. i know it will take a while to rebuild it but at least im still young. i now have the intelligence to determine whether or not i can afford something in the long run. so i need to know how i would go about finding out every single thing that i owe so i can get rid of it all at once and not have something lingering over me after ive filed. i would also like to know how much it will cost me for a lawyer to file bankruptcy? any info would be greatly appreciated
thanks,
shane
