One option to avoid filing bankruptcy is to simply do nothing. If one has no income and no assets, they are considered "judgement proof" and typically creditors will not file legal action against them as there is nothing for the creditors to recover. Other alternatives include informal or formal negotiations with one's creditors, consolidating debt, or restructuring debt (essentially refinancing the original loan).
