ALTERNATIVES TO BANKRUPTCY
Ask your lawyer about the alternatives to seeking relief under the bankruptcy laws. One option is to contact your creditors to request a discount or additional time to pay. Another way is to seek the help of a credit counseling service. These organizations, whether public or private, can help you manage your bills and work out an arrangement with your creditors. A third choice is to borrow money to pay off your debts, replacing them with a single loan and one monthly payment. Such refinancing can make sense if the repayment period is extended at a lower interest rate.
Each of these alternatives has benefits and disadvantages that your lawyer can explain. Or, you may find that bankruptcy is your best option.
