For many of us, credit has gotten out of hand. We are so used to living beyond our means that we failed to control our finances. We have spent our money for the things we need and for those that we really didn't.
Where has it left us? In a heap of trouble, so to say. Most every household has debt of one kind or another, whether it be credit cards, medical, mortgages or something else. We have used and abuse our credit limits and now we are facing hardships because of it.
One of the first things that come to mind is filing for bankruptcy. We seem to think that if we file for bankruptcy we will have a fresh start. In some cases, that may be true to a point. You really aren't getting a clean slate and a fresh start, you just get relief from paying some of your debt. For ten years or more you are blacklisted among the credit community. They, the courts and attorneys, will tell you that after seven to ten years it will no longer affect you and they are wrong. It will always affect you. Whenever you go to apply for a bank loan, it will show up, buying a car, it will show up, applying for a credit card, in which we really don't need, it will show up. It will haunt you!
Used to, a few years ago, you could file a Chapter 7 and wipe out all your debt, except student loans and the IRS, but today the laws have changed and it is not as easy as before to file. The laws have become stricter and the cost more expensive.
