I was raised as an honest, hard working man. Bankruptcy seems like a cop out. What does bankruptcy really offer?

Bankruptcy laws were put into place for people exactly like you. You didn't plan to lose your job and I'm sure you had every intention of repaying all your debts. The fact is, sometimes life throws us curveballs that ruin any plan we may have had.

Filing for bankruptcy is not for people who just don't feel like paying the debts that they have assumed; It's for honest people who have become unable to repay them.

Bankruptcy laws have been in place in the US since the first 13 colonies were established, and one of the most famous US Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, even filed for bankruptcy. It's not a Court protection created for deadbeats, it was created for honest, hard working people like yourself who have found themselves in a financial situation that was not planned for.

If you are thinking about bankruptcy, then you're probably running out of options and need some real help. Talk to a bankruptcy lawyer to find out what bankruptcy protection can offer you, as well as what other options you might have.
