10 Signs It May Be Time To File Bankruptcy

Struggling with overwhelming debt can feel like a never-ending battle, affecting every aspect of your life. However, knowing when it's the right time to seek financial relief through bankruptcy can be challenging. At Bankruptcy Law Office of Matthew D Boruta, I specialize in assisting individuals who are facing significant debt burdens. In this blog, we'll discuss ten common signs that may indicate it's time to consider filing for bankruptcy and how our experienced team can help you navigate this critical decision.

1. Continuous Harassment from Creditors

If creditors are constantly hounding you with calls, letters, or even threats, it may be time to explore bankruptcy as a means to halt creditor harassment.

2. Unable to Make Minimum Payments

Struggling to make even the minimum payments on your debts is a clear indicator that your financial situation needs attention.

3. Using Credit Cards for Necessities

If you find yourself relying on credit cards to cover essential expenses like groceries or utility bills, it's a sign that your debt is becoming unmanageable.

4. Facing Foreclosure or Eviction

If you're at risk of losing your home or facing eviction due to missed payments, bankruptcy may offer a lifeline to save your residence.

5. Wage Garnishment

Wage garnishment can leave you with significantly reduced income. Bankruptcy can put a stop to this and help you regain financial stability.

6. No Savings or Emergency Fund

The absence of savings or an emergency fund can leave you vulnerable to unexpected expenses and further debt accumulation.

7. Legal Actions and Lawsuits

If you're being sued for unpaid debts, bankruptcy can provide legal protection and potentially discharge the debts in question.

8. Balances Exceeding Assets

When your debts outweigh your assets, it can be challenging to achieve a sustainable financial future without intervention.

9. Financial Stress Impacting Health and Relationships

Debilitating financial stress can take a toll on your mental and physical well-being, as well as strain relationships with loved ones.

10. Uncertainty about a Financial Solution

If you're uncertain about how to overcome your debt burden, consulting with a bankruptcy attorney can provide clarity and direction.

Recognizing the signs that it's time to consider bankruptcy can be the first step toward reclaiming your financial freedom.
