As the Great Recession drags on, expenses continue to go up as income stays the same, drops, or goes away entirely with job loss. The bills mount up, creditors and debt collectors keep calling and writing to the point where you are afraid to answer the phone or open the mail! Despite your best efforts, you are now drowning in debts and facing bank levies, wage executions, or worse.
If you are coping with a meltdown of your personal finances in Gloucester, Camden or surrounding counties there are three things I would like you to consider:
1. You have rights. Federal and state laws exist to protect you from creditor harassment. Creditors often use fear to get your money, and knowledge of your rights can empower you to fight back.
2. You have options. All is not lost and, despite what creditors and debt collectors may tell you, your life will not be over if you don’t pay them in full by the end of the week. There are ways to get back on your financial feet.
3. You have a future. There are ways to get back on your feet and rebuild your credit, even if you have filed bankruptcy. Getting that credit score back up is not as hard as you think!
