As long as the deceased is the sole person responsible for the credit card, the credit card debt falls on the estate to be paid through assets after going through probate. The remainder of the assets are then distributed according to the deceased’s will or state law if no will was written. If there is [...]

Along with the loss of a job and medical bills, divorce is one of the most common contributing factors that lead to bankruptcy. Divorce settlements don’t always leave one or both parties with enough to sustain themselves. Many times people are left without a house or car and are sometimes required to pay for child [...]

Everyone has a different grocery shopping approach–some make a list, others go in and shop for whatever looks good, some plan their shopping trip by clipping coupons and waiting for the biggest sales, others shop for what they need for the week.

Once your debt has been discharged by the bankruptcy court, creditors and collection agencies are out of luck! Third party collection agencies have been known to contact a person and demand payment even after that person has declared bankruptcy and had his or her debt discharged. Do not fall prey to their subterfuge! By taking [...]

We can all agree that a good credit score is handy to have. So why would you risk the score you have by filing bankruptcy? To be frank, you risk more by doing nothing. Your credit score is already hurting or you probably wouldn’t be in the pickle you’re in, right? Look at it this [...]

I want to clear up the misunderstanding that many people have concerning credit cards. The common impression is that you won’t be able to get a credit card once you file bankruptcy. This is a myth! Credit card offers are going to come to you a week or two after you file bankruptcy–by way of [...]
