Best Answer

Chapter 7 bankruptcy comes with advantages as well as disadvantages. As soon as a debtor files for bankruptcy, there is an automatic stay and most creditors must stop their collection efforts. Thus, the debtor can begin rebuilding his credit; financially-speaking, the debtor can start over.


It is true that filing for bankruptcy ruins a debtor's credit from a number of years and may cause embarrassment. However, incurring more debt and facing the harassing phone calls, letters and potential lawsuits from creditors can have the same effect. Filing for bankruptcy will allow many debtors to get started sooner on rebuilding their credit in peace
