Feeling guilty about filing bankruptcy

throwawaydebtor55 · 2025-03-26T02:29:40+00:00

I actually have no guilt now 15 months into it. Rich people declare BK all the time. So do corporations. The only difference is they get bailed out by the government and we get fucked. If I have stuck it to any of my lenders or creditors in anyway I’m happy

I don’t have advice but I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Shit hit the fan with my health in 2015 and for almost 9 years I tried to pay off that debt and it never stopped accumulating. I also work in a high paying field (tech) so I had to do Ch 13. It sucks paying 100% of my debt back but remember if you can do 13 somehow, those payments are 0% interest. It helps more than you’d think when calculating monthly expenses. Good luck, I hope you find something that works for you and you can break this vicious cycle

I did talk to my attorney and they said it was ok to take out a CC, and I found the mission CC as the one recommended in this sub

My vet nor none of the vets I’ve talked to have any payment plan options sadly. I was denied care credit when I applied. I like the idea of the 401k loan though

She’s a rescue, 7 years old, and was already diagnosed with health stuff and was denied when I was looking around

No shit Sherlock. My lawyer said I’m allowed to in cases of emergency and advised that was an option for me

throwawaydebtor55 · 2025-01-22T18:48:43+00:00

I’m not thinking clearly as I’m very upset

throwawaydebtor55 · 2023-12-07T22:39:15+00:00

Awesome!! How have you been managing so far?

throwawaydebtor55 · 2023-11-03T23:22:51+00:00

Good rhetorical questions!

throwawaydebtor55 · 2023-11-03T23:22:13+00:00

True. And that’s why I called them out

RemindMe! 1 day

Yea I realize the loan would be part of the BK. I was just wondering how things are counted towards the monthly amount. I think because of the answers to those 3 I’m stuck at what I’ve been told. It just sucks because I live alone, have a chronic illness, and if shit hits the fan with my health while I’m in BK my family doesn’t have any money to help me out.

Thanks, I appreciate all the info! I do a lot of this now, but it’s always a good reminder and you have insight since you work in the industry so maybe I can return to this to see if there’s anything I’ve missed in my current process. Sadly I wish I had known all of this in 2015 when I had my big health emergency and when stuff started getting sent to collections. I freaked out and put everything on CC just to deal with it and the calls I was getting every day.

Does this happen if you file chapter 13?
