Difference between bankruptcy and debt consolidation
Hi LoriWelcome to the forums. A person files for bankruptcy
Hi Lori
Welcome to the forums.
A person files for bankruptcy when he is unable to pay his past debt and wishes to discharge it. Thus, all the collection efforts by the creditors will be stopped and they cannot take any legal action against the debtor or on the property to collect the debt.
However, one cannot file for bankruptcy chapters if he has dismissed a bankruptcy petition sent to him by the court due to his willful failure to appear in the court. He also cannot file for bankruptcy if his creditors sought relief through the bankruptcy court for recovering the property on which they hold liens.
Filing for bankruptcy is not the perfect solution to ease the financial situation. It has a lot of negatives with only a few of positives. Bankruptcy will destroy the credit report and it will be staying in the credit report for at least 10 years. Above that, most of the creditors will not be willing to extend credit for at least 3-5 years. It should only be filed when there is no other way left and are not worried about the consequences.

Comparing the debt consolidation program with the bankruptcy, I strongly suggest you using the debt consolidation program rather than filing for bankruptcy as bankruptcy has devastating effects on your credit report and as per the new bankruptcy laws, a consumer after filing for bankruptcy is still required to pay his debt if he is capable enough to earn his livelihood.
Debt consolidation program has been the most popular and easiest way to erase all the past debts. This program will further provide you debt counseling and budgeting programs which will be helpful to you in managing your finance and achieve a debt free life soon.
