The Downside of Bankruptcy


     Personal bankruptcy generally is considered the debt management option of last resort because the results are long-lasting and far-reaching. A bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years, making it difficult to acquire credit, buy a home, get life insurance, or sometimes get a job.

     Not all debts may be discharged by bankruptcy. Child support, alimony, fines, taxes less than two or three years old, and some student loan obligations are usually not erased. Bankruptcy may be the most expensive option in the long run as well in terms of paying for services and actual filing for bankruptcy charges.

     One of the most important effects of filing for bankruptcy are the psychological ramification which are often sadly over looked. There are typically three types of stages one goes through after filing for bankruptcy. The first stage can last for the first few months or even a couple years after someone has filed for bankruptcy. During this time the individual feels relieved yet at the same time an immense feeling of guilt and failure.

     Once the individual moves out of this stage there is a less stressful time where they forget about many of their past financial decisions. This time is short lived as the individual soon enters the third stage of filing for bankruptcy. During this time the individual experiences a lot of remorse and regret, often feeling a great deal of resentment towards those who advised them to file for bankruptcy. They realize that simple things such as not being able to buy Christmas or birthday presents become difficult to deal with year after year. Those most harshly affected are those individuals who lose property that is non-exempt (unprotected).
