I like the way you think.....if only you were an IN lawyer!

Making the decision is often the worst part of this process.
Relax and breathe!

You will amazed at how relieved you will feel after a week or so and your phone is no longer ringing off the hook from bill collectors calling! Don't worry about it, it will be fine.

My collection calls stopped within two days of filing...that was a relief in itself. My payments are livable, and my 341 hearing today was a piece of cake. I am smiling, happy and generally have much less stress. I am sure you will too. The worst part for me was the "stigma" of bankruptcy, but I realise it was a series of events largely out of my control that put me here, and seeing the others in the 341 today, and talking to people on this board I know that we are not bad people. It will get better!

You'll be fine....hang in there and get some sleep tonight!

Llelxon same here. We signed yesterday and should file either tomorrow or day after. Yikes! What a strange feeling. Good Luck!

That's funny, when I interviewed for a job with Gene Harlow in Grenada he pulled out a bottle of brandy and started drinking.

He offered me a drink too, but I declined.

Stigma of bankruptcy? This is one thing I don't understand, its not like you have to walk around with a Giant Red B on your shirt.

Can someone explain from the client-side what the stigma of bankruptcy is?

You will have tremendous relief.
best to you . . .

Did you get the job?

Jim. To answer your question but I can only speak for myself... Dont live extravagantly but comfortable for a small town girl. Divorced , in my late 40's, mother of 2 kids in there 20's . At present I have a fairly good job for my area with a utility company. Been there 28 yrs and have had many, many different positions. 2 yrs ago I was given the option of moving to Columbus,Ohio (didnt want too for many reasons) or be in the unemployment line. At the time I was driving 110 miles a day round trip to work. Let me tell ya gas was very expensive at the time and I charged alot on my credit cards. So anyway I was able to (thank god) secure an open position 10 min from my home with the same company and doubled my income. WOW someone was watching over me ...but in the meantime being divorced, raising 2 kids, one being involved in drugs & stealing me blind , selling anything I had of value, and some very bad "gotta have it now" moments I ended up with around $ 40,000 in credit card debt which I will never pay off in this lifetime.
So I filed bankruptcy... Now everyone around me (neighbors,friends,family ect ) thinks wow, she has a great job, nice little house with the white picket fence, older but nice vehicle. IF THEY ONLY KNEW !!!!! I am stressed about money all the time, robbing peter to pay paul, have very little left after paying bills and so on. So my feeling is if they knew the truth, they would be like OMG I cant believe it... I have got to the point where I really dont care what other people think I had to do what I had to do.. Hope that helps ya a little bit to understand the stigma ..

Well I have to say in regards to the stigma that I told my parents and they said "You weren't raised that way" implying that my whole family pays their bills...never mind the other numerous problems that torment the family....so there is a definite stigma with my family...

My mama says that if I put my elbows on the table.

If that's the worst thing that happens, that's a good day.
