I think the B/K is the lessor of the 2 evils. from what I've read, its better(if there is such a thing) to wait until the creditorsget the judgments. The do the B/K thing and get the repos and judgments taken off at one time.get legal advice before you do B/K, it stays on your record for up to 10 yrs.

It doesn't erase anything on your own credit report....just adds to it, why would it change someone elses? It adds that you are a bankrupt as well as having missed payments and had a repossession. A credit report simply reports what happened in the past....what ever you do now does not change it...you live with the history you created.
