Because so many people feel social stigma attached to declaring bankruptcy, it can be emotionally difficult to determine when a financial crisis has grown severe enough to consider bankruptcy or you wish to begin a proactive process to improve your credit. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself. If you can say yes to several of these questions, it is time to contact a qualified bankruptcy attorney to get a thorough review of your finances and your options.

• Are you behind on your house payments or property taxes?
  • Has the bank given you a foreclosure notice?
• Are you behind on your car payments?
  • Has the bank threatened repossession?
• Have you been borrowing money from relatives or using credit cards to pay your house payment or essential bills?
• Have you begun to sell your possessions?
• Are you behind on your credit card payments or paying exorbitant interest rates?
• Is your budget so tight that at the end of the month that you don't have enough to make even minimum payments on your credit cards?
• Do you owe back taxes that you can't pay?
• Has your credit been negatively effected by missed payments or high debt-to-income ratio
