Mortgage loans are the only way to home ownership for most American citizens. In my opinion, most borrowers are not fully educated in regard to types of mortgages and how each type might work for or against the borrower. Instead, borrowers seem to focus on locking in the lowest fixed interest rates, which is only a part of the cost of the loan itself. Other factors borrowers must consider are; points, fees, closing costs, pre-payment penalties, current equity, projected equity, taxes, insurance and maintenance.

In a credit driven society, there is an overwhelming risk to the consumer in terms of the potential becoming dangerously debt heavy. The best ways to avoid bankruptcy is to practice “bankruptcy risk management,” by working within a realistic budget, establishing spending limits and with the exception of a mortgage, choosing to pay cash.

I think that Debt Consolidation is a great way to get your life back on track. I think that alot of people go into debt because they do not realize how much they are paying out in bills each month. If you sit down and calcualte and write everything out you would see that you are spending way to much in intrest rates. One monthly bill will aslo make it alot easier for you, you will not forget to send a payment out or forget to put it in the mailbox.

Bankruptcy services must be concerned that their business may drop if the bankruptcy laws become tighten on debtors.

Bankruptcy options are becoming more limited in terms of ease to debtors the past 5 years.

Debt Collection is when you (debtor) fall behind on your payments to a creditor (company or family member). The creditor can have a debt collector track you down to arrange for the debt to be paid. Debt collectors can contact you via telephone, mail, or in person regarding your debt. A debt collector must notify you, in writing, the details of your debt (amount and creditor) within 5 days of notifying you of the debt. They must also tell you what to do if you believe the debt has already been paid.

Bankruptcy is the same as stealing or robbing a bank. If you cannot afford to pay for the car you just agreed to make payments on then don’t buy the car to begin with. Why ask for a mortgage on a $250,000 house when you can barely make the minimum payments on your credit cards? If you don’t overextend yourself then you will not need to claim bankputcy.

Filing for Bankruptcy should be not be considered as a “last resort” type option. There are several things that can be done to avoid being placed in this situation. Firstly, bills should be paid on a regular basis. You want to avoid accumulating unessearry payments. Secondly, AVOID paying a credit card bill with another credit card. If you fear that you are facing bankruptcy DO NOT take out a loan. The extra money may come in handy initally, however, the high intrest that you will pay in the future will put you at a higher risk of having a bankruptcy petition filed against you.
