IS BANKRUPTCY RIGHT FOR ME?

Before filing for bankruptcy, ask yourself…

• Do you have debts that you cannot afford to pay?
• Are you are often late making payments?
• Are you are using credit to purchase food or clothing?
• Are you are considering taking out a loan to pay existing loans?
• Are you are receiving frequent calls from collection agencies?
• Are you seeing a rise in credit balances despite making payments?
• Are you are more than 30 days late on at least two bills?
• Are you having difficulty purchasing car insurance because it is too expensive?
• Are your wages being garnished?
• Do you owe more on your car than it is worth?
• Does the interest on your debt exceed 20 percent?
• Do you frequently request cash advances from your employer?
• Have you been served with a lawsuit?
• Have your requests for more credit been rejected?
• Is your rent or mortgage payment often late?
• Do you have outstanding medical bills that your insurance provider does not cover?
• Are you unable to pay what you owe for your income taxes?
• Is your savings account nonexistent?

If your financial situation is characterized by at least three of these conditions, you are a good candidate for declaring bankruptcy. The next question is…
