Having to file bankruptcy is something that many people are faced with considering at one point in their lives. It is not something that can always be avoided unfortunately. The first thing that many people end up doing is pointing their fingers at who may to blame for this dreadful event that is happening. The debtors are blaming the creditors and the creditors are blaming the debtors. The fact of the matter is that there are many different reasons as to why someone may have to consider filing for bankruptcy and it does not really matter who is to blame, it is here and it is happening.



With it being so easy for some people to obtain credit, now wonder they are ending up in such huge amounts of debts that they are now faced with having the inability to pay off. For instance, I was in college, 18 yrs old, no job, got a phone call one day, it was a credit card company offering me a $500 credit limit with their company, woohoo I said, I took it without even thinking twice, it was that easy! Or, some may say, people today just have no means of self control whatsoever! This is very true in many cases, no doubt about that.
