THE HIDDEN COSTS OF DELAYING FILING BANKRUPTCY

Filing for bankruptcy is a choice that can offer a second chance for those who have found themselves in a true financial crisis. Sometimes, bankruptcy is put off by people who think they can save themselves from a truly dire financial situation. In this situation, there are some hidden costs for not filing bankruptcy. They are:

  • Interest accumulation on existing and unpaid credit card and loan balances
  • Penalty fees are incurred for late payment and non-payment of credit lines
  • A negative impact on your credit score for late and non-payment of credit lines
  • An increase in likelihood of being sued over debt defaults
  • An increase in likelihood of asset seizure following a judgement being secured by a creditor
  • Garnishment of wages upon a judgement being secured by a creditor

What is most often forgotten by those who think they can put off filing for bankruptcy is the fact that other bills that cannot be included in a bankruptcy still continue such as:

  • Day to day living expenses
  • Student loans
  • Spousal/Child support
