The phrase ‘filing bankruptcy’ has always had a negative social stigma attached to it. Many large financial companies have lobbied and spent tremendous marketing dollars on spreading the idea that filing for bankruptcy is a “cop out” or for lazy or irresponsible people. The fact is, financial situations change, and often times due to this what we once budgeted for is no longer a reality.
The true reality is that bankruptcy law and filing for personal bankruptcy is a way to get out of the debt, and in many cases pay all or just a reduced amount of the old debt, but to do so in a way that makes sense for everyone involved.
