Is Personal Bankruptcy Right for me?

Wade Robins

Personal bankruptcy is a problem that affects so many consumers in today's modern world. So why does it affect so many people? Well it's simply because consumer debt is now at the highest level that it has ever been at in the USA economy.

Most consumers largest debts are for things like home loans and automobile loans. These are secured debts as they are secured against the asset that you are purchasing. The most common second highest type of debt is unsecured debt, this is mostly from the use of credit cards. Credit cards are the widest source of unsecured debt in the USA and the world.

Unsecured debt can make people think about what their options are, it can be a catalyst in the reaction so to say. It is thought that many credit card companies have developed a 'honey trap' where once consumers get hooked, it is very difficult to get out of the continual borrowing cycle.

The most successful part of this strategy is allowing the customer to make a minimum payment, they even advertise this on the statements. Whenever the consumer pays this minimum amount all they are really doing is paying for the interest, a very small percentage goes towards covering the original loan. This means that by using the minimum payment you are getting yourself stuck in a continual cycle of just paying off the interest each month.

When the consumer just starts paying the minimum payment option they are making debt insolvency a real possibility. As the debt from credit cards increases, life continues as normal. Life can lead to unexpected outcomes, it could be a loss of employment, or illness. Anything could change making it impossible for you to repay your loan. Life is uncertain, but debt must be paid back. This is not secured, so you personally promise to give this debt back.

If something unexpected changes in your life it can make it impossible to keep up the payments on your unsecured debt, this could lead the debtor to consider filing for personal bankruptcy.
