While bankruptcy is a great way to recover financially for some people, it’s not the right option for everyone.

Bankruptcy Alternatives

Many people falsely believe that bankruptcy is their only option when they are struggling to pay off debt. Understanding the options available to you is the first step toward deciding if bankruptcy is really your best options. Bankruptcy alternatives aren’t for everyone, and they are typically reliant on a person’s income and ability to make payments associated with them.

Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation describes when a person pays off all their debt by taking a loan. It’s helpful because it can stop high-interest debts from inflating and provide a manageable monthly payment to the debtor. Some debt consolidation loans use a home’s equity while others are more traditional loans with monthly payments. In some instances, a person can consolidate debt through a second mortgage. However, this type of consolidation uses a home as collateral and a late payment could result in the loss of the debtor’s home.

Debt consolidation might be right for a person who has more equity in their home than would be protected under Massachusetts or federal bankruptcy exemptions. To confirm this, call Miller Law Group, P.C. now at (888) 874-2142.

Credit Counseling

Consumer credit counseling plans can help a debtor receive reduced payments and lowered interest rates in exchange for agreeing to pay a creditor by a certain time. Typically, credit counseling plans require monthly deposits with a credit counseling service. While a credit counseling plan can take years to finish, it can be useful for those who want to eliminate debt without claiming bankruptcy. However, credit counseling does not provide the “fresh start” that many people who claim bankruptcy receive.
