As much as you may be avoiding it, filing for bankruptcy may be your best (and only) viable option for overcoming debt. Until you pull the trigger and start the process, you can expect the following to happen:

Creditors Continue to Hassle You

You can avoid picking up the phone line and even change your number, but creditors will continue to find ways to hassle you for their money. Even if the calls end, you can expect direct mail to your home, and even legal action.

Your Wages Will Be Garnished

If this hasn’t started happening already, you may soon learn how wage garnishment works. Rather than receiving your paycheck and choosing where and how to spend it, your wages may be garnished to make sure the money is going to the people who are owed.

Your Bank Account Will Freeze

Your bank will only put up with a lack of payment for so long before they seize your account and freeze it. This means that if you or your employer goes to make a deposit, the deposit won’t go through and will be unavailable. Your account will also be unavailable for any automatic payments you have set up, like phone bills or electric bills, too.
