[...] As someone served by a judgement before…I’d seriously look into bankruptcy as an option. It’s really not as bad a process ad you’d think. I felt so much better after mine. Like a ton of bricks lifted off me. Here’s what a bankruptcy costs, fees, etc. [...]

I filed bankruptcy in 2003. I had about 10k credit card debt, along with school expenses. I was in a car accident and couldn’t work. I owned no assets coming from a poor family. Eventually I got back on my feet, moving from MI to CA following the American dream. Life happens and i somehow got 4 sleep disorders and Post traumatic stress disorder, which lead to seizures. That made me not be able to work or drive. I drained my bank account on insurances and hospital bills (around 22k, that i had saved). I had to move back East because the economy is crap right now. I couldn’t even get a simple job. Now i’m thinking about filing a 2nd time to clear this hospital and credit card debt. They had no sympathy for me, i sold everything i own. I just turned 34 so my savings over the past 7 years is gone, everything i liquidated and still owe money. I just got out of the mental hospital on top of those other medical conditions i’m now in serious depression. It seems that filing bankruptcy is my only sage route to possible sanity.

Hey, I had 10 credit cards. I filed chapter 7. Debt free from that. It cost me a 100 dollars consulation fee, and a 1000 dollars for the lawyer. I payed as much as possible till I got him paid and then he did the paper work. Then you have to go to another place to face a judge or whtever. But it all works out. I had a bike in my name, a car, etc. They didnt take anything from me. All ways heard if you gona file go out and get whtever you want. My lawyers friend told her to get a new car and she would get to keep it. It was worth me getting it. This happend 5 yrs ago. There were so many people with debt at the place I went to they ask you how you got all this credit and cant pay it. Just tell them he signs the paper off and youre done. But once you file with the lawyer you dont have to pay no more credit cards from that day. You call them and tell them you are filing bankruptcy and they quit calling.. Good Luck!!!

Husband & wife bills + Child support, Years ago I split up with a lady I was marred to, She agreed to pay her share of the bills and so was I, So I agreed to paying Child support, Because I trusted her I didn’t even get a lawyer, Very stupid move, After the divorce I found I was stuck with all the bills and Child support And she got everything. At that same time I owed tax money and was on a payment plan that was set up as a voluntary garnishment, In my state the most anyone can take from your pay roll is 50% and in the following order,
Child support is first, Tax’s are second and normal bills are last,
Well the tax man was taking 25% and the normal bill collectors where fighting for the second half of the allowed 50%, That’s when I got an idea, I called my x and asked her if she could get my check garnished for the child support, She did and between the tax and Child Support that tied up the 50% of my check and my son at the time would not be 18 years old for 11 years, And my tax bill would also take about that long to pay off, The next time a bill collector called me and want a payment, I said I was sorry but my pay check was tied up for about the next 11 years at least, But I told them if they looked at the bottom of the contracts My x and I signed they had 2 names and she was as responsible for those bills as much as I was, The only difference no body was chasseing after her. I suggested they might want to give her a call, To make a long story short the bill collectors went after her and Because they could not touch me they garnished her pay check, It all worked out great, I paid my tax’s on time and my Child Support, So I was covered and no one could touch me, When she received the Child Support she had to turn around and send it to a bill collators, Buy the time all the bills where paid off my credit looked great and I covered everything the legal way.
Think outside the box, You can fix your problem with a little though. She hates me but I can live with that LOL
