If you have decided to file for bankruptcy, there’s a lot of things going around in your mind. You’re stressed. You’re scared. You really don’t know what’s going to happen to your favorite possessions or your home. In fact, you might even be experiencing tension in your family related to all this turmoil. All you want to do now is try to make things go easier as you file for bankruptcy and work to improve your life. In times like this, you often want advice on how to make the most of your efforts.
Sometimes, the best pieces of advice are common ideas that we just don’t remember in times of stress. When you are dealing with debt, stay calm – especially with the people who are trying to ruffle your feathers. It’s the job of collection agents, for example, to create anxiety. They harass and try to threaten you into paying your debts. Don’t take the bait. In fact, if you say the wrong thing, it may actually get you in even more trouble.
Similarly, if you are sitting down with your bankruptcy attorney, you should do your best to keep a calm mind. We all know how difficult it is to make an “either/or” choice and the decision to file for bankruptcy should never be taken lightly.
