Best Answer

The most obvious disadvantage of filing for bankruptcy is that it will ruin your credit for at least 7-10 years. Some other disadvantages include:

* Losing credit cards

* Losing non-essential possessions

* Inability to obtain a mortgage for some time

* Embarrassment

* Not all debt will be discharged

Because of all those reasons, it is really important to take that into consideration before filing!
