Have you considered other options for bankruptcy, Annie Molly? You did say that you're still on the verge of filing . . .

Well I'm more than a little concerned, turns out I just may lose more property than I actually need.I'm far gone in debt, Karess. I have $15k in debt because my husband left me. He refuses to take responsibility for the accts that we have. It's very sad and I'm trying my best to cope.

but do you still have some disposable income or another source of income, perhaps? If anything bankruptcy should really be deemed as a last resort in paying off bills.

It's good to find out what the exempt properties are in Illinois even if you don't really don't have to file bankruptcy. Unless you need the automatic stay provision - save yourself from filing. With a debt amount $15,000, perhaps debt settlement is the better option. Are your accounts past due?

I agree, plus why file bankruptcy, when Illinois is not one of the states that prohibit the use of professional settlement service? Also with debt settlement your $15,000 debt has a chance of being lowered to more or less half.If you'd like for your financial situation to be assessed for free, just fill out a form here at destroydebt.com.

If you are wondering how much it's going to cost you, Debt settlement companies would charge 15% of your total debt amount -spread over 18 months or they will take between 20-25% of the settlement amount.
