No Assets to lose
August 4th, 2009 by Questions
Hi there,
I have debt of 15000, plus a student loan of 8000. I`m going to be moving soon and can`t say for sure if I will have the means to make my payments. I`m having enough trouble as it is on a salary of $35, 000, which could very well be less once moved. I don`t drive and I rent, so I am thinking of bankruptcy. This is all new to me. Does my situation seem best suited for bankruptcy vs another option?

It is tough to say whether or not the filing of a bankruptcy is the best solution without sitting down and reviewing things in more detail. However, from the sounds of it the filing of a bankruptcy is definitely one of the options that needs to be looked at.
The only concern that I have immediately would be your student loans. There are special rules surrounding how the filing of a bankruptcy and student loans operat that will be important for you to discuss with a licensed trustee. But essentially for your student loans to be cleared you must not have attended school in the last 7 years. If you have attend school in this period the student loans will survive a bankruptcy.
