What Is Bankruptcy?

When a business or individual can no longer pay their outstanding debts or obligations, they file for bankruptcy. This legal procedure helps them make a fresh start and relieves the debts owed. A business or individual can voluntarily file for bankruptcy, or a creditor can make them bankrupt through a court process.

Why Do People Apply for Bankruptcy?

People apply for bankruptcy for various reasons, and no two individuals’ reasons are alike. That said, there are three common reasons for bankruptcy filings, including:

• Job Loss: The loss of employment can have profound effects on both mental and physical health. It often leads to substantial financial difficulties, including challenges in maintaining timely debt payments.
• Medical Emergency: Unforeseen accidents and medical emergencies can drastically disrupt an individual’s life, often resulting in significant medical debt that may prompt the need for bankruptcy protection.
• Divorce: Bankruptcy is frequently filed in the context of divorce, whether it occurs before, during, or after the proceedings. Financial strain is a common issue that can contribute to marital discord and subsequent bankruptcy.

When to File for Bankruptcy

Filing for bankruptcy is a significant decision with short- and long-term implications. For individuals as well as companies, it’s the last resort after they’ve exhausted all other possible actions. Keeping that in mind, here are a few situations in which filing for bankruptcy might be appropriate:

• When your debt becomes unmanageable, and you cannot make minimum payments on credit cards, loans, or other financial obligations.
• If you are facing imminent foreclosure on your home and other options have failed.
• If you are at risk of losing your property or car because of missed payments.
• If you have incurred substantial medical bills not covered by your insurance.
• If you have tried debt settlement, consolidation, or credit card counseling but to no avail.
