What should you do if a bill collector calls you?

If you do not wish to speak to a bill collector you have every right to hang up at any time. You might want to ask the bill collector the name of the creditor on whose behalf he is calling. It might also be a good idea to request the name of the bill collector’s employer. Furthermore, you can also ask the collector for his or her name. If you believe that the bill collector calling you has got the wrong person then you should inform him of that fact.

Bankruptcy: To File or not to File

The decision to file for bankruptcy is a difficult one and it is advised to talk to someone about all of your options before you decide to file. There are many reasons people decide to file for bankruptcy such as a costly divorce settlement, medical bills that have piled up to failed small business. It is best to ask yourself several questions before making a firm decision. For instance, do I or we have large-scale debt? Do our monthly minimums take up all of our living expenses and more? If we do decide to file for bankruptcy, will we promise ourselves to change our spending actions? Do we want to buy a home in the near future?

If your debt in indeed out of control then it is important to be honest with yourself because the decision to file could, in fact, be a move towards integrity and a positive life change for you and your family. Filing bankruptcy is not for everyone and you do have options, so make sure you know all of your options in order to make an informed decision.
