Filing bankruptcy is a personal decision which should be based on your specific circumstances.  While all factors must be considered, your decision to file should be greatly influenced by the amount of debt you owe and your ability to repay it in the near future. 

Threats of garnishment, foreclosure, repossession, and general creditor harassment all may lead you to file bankruptcy. You may also consider filing bankruptcy to provide relief from emotional distress or depression that is commonly related to debt.  Even in a scenario where you could eventually repay all your debts, you still may choose to file bankruptcy so you can apply your future income towards your long-term goals.

The bankruptcy laws have recently changed, but filing bankruptcy still provides solutions for a variety of financial difficulties. Filing bankruptcy remains a legal right for the vast majority of Americans. In fact, recent studies show that approximately 80% of past filers would still qualify to eliminate the same debts under the new bankruptcy laws.
