Bad Financial Times Of Bankruptcy

by: Rachel Linster

The Whole Outcome Of Bankruptcy
You may well be reading this because things are tough for you at the moment and you're considering filing for bankruptcy. As you probably know, by doing this you'll in theory wipe the slate clean and be able to start again.
Although this sounds like a simple alternative you'll find that the whole procedure will be very traumatic and it will damage your credit rating for ever. This means that obtaining credit for a new house or car will be very difficult indeed and, although it can be the case that some bankruptcy classifications can be discharged in twelve months, they rarely are. The psychological problems that you may find also need to be considered. Very few people sail through bankruptcy without some regrets and for some it can lead to severe depression and a total loss of self esteem mainly due to the fact that it's a very public affair which makes it a very humiliating experience. You will find that everyone who deals with you, from your bank, land lord, building society and employer will be notified. In addition your name will be listed in papers for all to see.
Don't think about declaring yourself bankrupt if you own your own home or have other assets. Once you do declare yourself, the wheels will work very fast. Your bank account will be closed and your credit cards stopped. If you have a car on HP it will be returned, if you own it, it will be sold to pay your debts. If you are running your own business, it will be closed down and if you are set to inherit money or gain from an insurance pay out or any income whatsoever, it can be seized. In addition, if you belong to many associations and societies you will find that you'll no longer be made welcome.
Even if you have a young family you can be made homeless and if you've thought ahead and put the property in your partner's name it will still be taken away unless you can prove that your partner paid the full value for it. If you start up a new business and put the profits into someone else's name you will be arrested as this is considered a criminal act. There is no way round.
You really need to take control and act before you reach crisis point. This means that you try to negotiate to put all your debts together with one company. You're not going to be in a very strong position, but you can still try to negotiate a reasonable rate of interest. This will improve if you can secure the loan with your home. When you're looking at the repayments, think carefully about how much you can afford and don't agree to anything that you know you won't be able to maintain. It's better to pay a smaller amount for a longer period than to promise something that you can't maintain and default after a couple of months.
