Everyone has an opinion about bankruptcy filings and you will find a lot of good and bad advice online. Some of the worst pieces of advice that I’ve ever heard about bankruptcy are:
1. If you declare bankruptcy you’ll ruin your financial life forever.
2. It is your obligation to pay back the bank, bankruptcy and foreclosure are the easy way out.
3. You don’t need to file for bankruptcy or seek foreclosure protection, Credit Counseling can help you pay off your debt and lower your monthly payments.
