Hi all, i glad i found this forum where mostly financial intelligent ppl gather here..
im 23 yr sold, im in very bad situation right now, could some one here give me some advise..
here is a brief story about myself.
- at age 20, i got hired from usps with 40k/yr, i was thinking i make a lot money that day, so, i go buy a new car cost 20k, and i was over spending by buying all the doodad with credit card. after a yr, i buy a new home with cost 385 k , besides that i also use credit card to running some online business.
- now with the down market with real estate, my house now is only worth 200k, so i dun want to pay it any more, and i was late for about 4 months now, i am in process of foreclosure.
- with using credit card to pay other credit card, now i am in debt with 50k credit card, and was late few time on those card.
- my credit score now is very very very bad.
- i read some audio book which suggest not to file bank bankruptcy.
here is my question:
- i am thinking that after forclosure, my credit score is bad anyway, so why not file bankruptcy too, so i can get off the debt ?
- can some one tell me, if i file bankruptcy , will the debt really go away( credit card), do i still have to pay for credit card debt?
- since i only have a car as my asset ( which i will pay it off on 2/2009) , will they take away my car too ?
Lesson:
- I learn this lesson a hard way, but i still believe i can start over.
so, in my situation right now, should i just file bankruptcy after forclosure?
would be really appreciated for your help..
