You could file bankruptcy, but do you have any assets that a creditor could come after? Your disability payments are exempt from garnishment. The filing fee for a chapter 7 bankruptcy is $209 and the attorney's fees will be $500 at a bare minimum. Bankruptcy is very difficult to do all by yourself.
