What are the alternatives to bankruptcy?
I lost my job in the bad economy over a year ago and the debt that I already had is getting out of control. I know that bankruptcy might be an option but I'm scared because of the bad things I've heard about it. Are there any alternatives or would I benefit most if I get in touch with an attorney?
