Common Bankruptcy Alternatives

One of the most common alternatives to bankruptcy is settling outside of court. When a debtor and a creditor can reach an agreement regarding the amount of debt owed and a reasonable payment schedule, individuals with large amounts of debt may be able to pay off their loans without further legal action.

Even if you are able to settle with a creditor outside of court, it may be helpful to speak to a legal professional about your options to ensure that you are making responsible decisions regarding your finances and that you are not being taken advantage of.

Another bankruptcy alternative is a debt consolidation loan. This type of loan is given to individuals to pay off multiple debts and usually uses a person’s home as collateral. Debt consolidation loans generally have a lower interest rate or are acquired in order to secure a fixed interest rate on existing debt. The risk associated with this type of loan is that if the debtor is again unable to make payments, they may face foreclosure.
