Seeing a good bankruptcy attorney is not the same as filing bankruptcy. Getting the advice and counsel of a knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer is getting yourself a fresh and experienced set of eyes to review with you the specifics of your unique situation. Most good bankruptcy lawyers would rather tell you why bankruptcy is not for you at this moment than convince you to file when it is not in your best interest.
That said, what are the signs, or conditions that should motivate you to call for an appointment with a bankruptcy lawyer?
- When you are having trouble paying your bills on time.
- When you feel a need to borrow from your retirement, or from friends or relatives.
- When you think about taking out a home equity loan to pay off some debt.
- When you consider calling a “debt adjustment” organization.
- If you are behind on your mortgage.
- If you are afraid the bank might repossess your car.
- If you owe taxes.
- If you are afraid of your wages being garnished.
- If you have been sued.
- If your creditors are harassing you on the phone.
- If you are losing sleep at night worrying about your debts.
- If your marriage is threatened because of your financial situation.
- If you are concerned that you will be laid off from your job.
- If you can’t afford medications because you are paying off your debt.
- If you are paying credit card debt but can’t afford to go to the doctor or dentist.
- When your friends or relatives tell you to get help with your debt situation.
