| Bankruptcy is not the only method of dealing with a debt problem.
In some situations, another way might be more advantageous to the
debtor than filing bankruptcy. Such alternatives may include an out
of court settlement with creditors, reduction of payments to creditors,
obtaining help from a consumer counseling service, or payment of debts
by sale of assets or borrowing on assets. However, these methods require
some cooperation from creditors, and the chances of success are greater
if the debtor attempts these alternatives soon after financial difficulties
begin. |
