Do I file for bankruptcy?
Let go from my f/t position and am now working p/t, but not making any money! I am currently 5 months behind on my mtge and have over 30k worth of debt that I can no long afford to pay. I have checked my credit score and it is 578..just 5 yrs ago I at 800. I am seriously considering filing for bankruptcy(chpt 7)…at this point I feel as though I will have nothing to lose. What impact will this have on my life?? Will I be able to purchase another home within the next 7 yrs or will my credit be ruined forever?? Will I even be able to get an apt or should I begin looking into shelters for myself and my 10 yr old son. LIFE!!! HELP!!!!
Thank you to everyone that took the time to answer my question. I was able to feel the sincerity and effort in your answers!! Again, thank you for giving me a different perspective. Ugh…LIFE!
