Myths surrounding life after bankruptcy

There are several myths surrounding bankruptcy law. These myths are perpetuated by creditors who do not want you to know your rights or the law. If you are considering Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, have you ever hesitated because of the following myths?

Myth 1: You will never have credit again

Many people believe that they will never have credit again after filing bankruptcy. This is simply not true. In fact, most people will have improved credit after their debts are paid off. While a bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 10 years, there is typically a two year rehabilitation period for mainstream creditors. Because you are prohibited for filing for eight years, creditors will consider you a desirable candidate after the rehabilitation period.

Myth 2: People who file bankruptcy are seeking the "easy way out"

Most people who are reluctant to file bankruptcy are concerned that they will be considered irresponsible or taking the "easy way out" of their debt. The truth is that most people who file have faced an unforeseeable event such as a divorce, job loss or injury. In the current economic climate, any financial distress could leave an otherwise hardworking family struggling to survive. If you are considering filing, remember the millions of Americans every year who were in your exact situation before seeking help.

Myth 3: Other people will find out about your bankruptcy

Even if you are concerned about what others may think about your decision, it is important to remember that consumer bankruptcy is not published information in the newspaper. Your financial recovery is your own business.

Consider your life after you are debt free

If you haven't already stopped to consider what your life would be like after bankruptcy, think about this:

• You could stop harassing creditors from calling your home or workplace
• You can finally put an end to unpaid credit card bills, medical expenses and other debts
• You can get a judgment lien off your property
• You can stop wage garnishments and other threats of repossession
• You can stop foreclosure on a home that you have worked so hard for
