I like to tell my clients that financial crisis is like art: It's different for everyone but you know it when you see it. If you are gasping for breath in the middle of the night obsessing about bills you cannot pay, you should know your options. Bankruptcy, in the Chapter 13 or the more rigorous Chapter 7 version are legal protections that can be valuable but thanks to a push by the Bush administration they are more difficult to qualify for and may not provide the protection you would expect. Consumer credit counseling are marketed by so-called "non-profit" companies so aggressively that one has to assume there is profit in there some where...there is and you don't want to go there. 

Many people think that getting any form of mortgage refinance after bankruptcy is impossible but this is not the case. Granted it is more difficult than if you had a great credit score and you will pay more money to get the finance but it is not impossible. The reality is that you can get finance after about six months of the completion of your bankruptcy proceedings. This is good for two reasons. Presumably you need the cash for some valid reason and this can be a great help. Also, by getting new credit you can help to rebuild your credit rating which can lead to a better credit score and cheaper finance.

Bankruptcy was considered to be a bane for any person, but, no more it is considered so.

Also, bankruptcy is not a last resort, to be avoided at all costs. 

In addition to credit counseling additional counseling on budgeting and debt management must be undertaken before debts can be wiped out. Filers with higher incomes will not be allowed to file chapter 7 but will a least have to repay some of their debt under chapter 13. Monthly income will now be looked at and measured against the median income for a household of your size in your state. What this means is the higher income earning families will have a harder time filing for bankruptcy.
