Bankruptcy – What Is It?

Debt problems arise from several reasons

Bankruptcy may be caused by job loss, divorce, illness, a death in the family, creditor lawsuit or a bad economy.  The common thread, however, is cash flow is not enough to pay monthly living expenses and all the other bills, such as credit cards, medical expenses, payday loans or student loans.  Stress, desperation, fear and frustration occur when you are just trying to survive and pay excessive debt to avoid bankruptcy.  As you can tell, the reasons for creditor problems are many, but there is one, best solution — protection by the bankruptcy court.
