Im 22 Years old and im 24000 in debt. I make 33000 after taxes but I cant seem to do anything with paying it off. I tried Debt Settlement but it is crazy expensive and will take three years.

That only takes care of my repo, nothing else.

My thinking is, if I can file now, I could use those three years to strengthen my credit instead of paying it off and it going no where.

I want to be able to apply for student loans if neccessary in the next couple years and i dont think ill be able to do that if I just pay it off. Please help! :shock:


I would consider alternatives to bankruptcy, such as debt settlement. Why? Because you are young and BK will hang over your head for life. Some time in the future you may want to finance a car or a house, and if you are asked on a loan application if you have ever filed BK, you have to honestly answer YES, even if it was 20 years ago.
