There may come a time in your life where you will have to take drastic decisions to take back control of your life and to sort out your financial hiccups. Going down the bankruptcy route or opting for Debt Consolidation instead are both daunting decisions to make and not to be made likely. Here are the pros and cons of going for either one which will hopefully assist you into making a valid and sound decision based on your current financial needs and status.
Debt Consolidation by far seems the most popular of the two by Public Opinion and here we list the advantages.
1) A debt management or consolidation program is a partnership between you and a debt management agency who work out an affordable monthly sum to pay all your creditors.
2) The headache of mounting bills is taken away as you just issue one check a month to the agency and they take on all the hassle of communicating with creditors on your behalf for a small monthly fee.
3) You get to pay less of what you owe over all as the Agency bargains with your creditors in order to get the debts decreased, rather than them not getting any payments from you at all.
4) All transactions are conducted in a private manner and your privacy rights are respected.as you are going through difficult times.
For many people Bankruptcy is the only way out and so often they opt for this way out. Here are the advantages.
1) All legal proceedings being made against you have to stop at the point you file for bankruptcy. No one at this time can take you to court.
2) You have to declare your wages and expenses but even in acute cases you are probably allowed to keep your main hoe and car.
3) The big advantage of declaring bankruptcy is that it gives you a fresh chance to turn over a new leaf and you can walk away from your past debts and difficult situation.
In either case it is always wise to seek legal advice before taking any one of the two decisions at your disposal.
