Your credit card companies are raising the interest rates because of late payments and charges that have exceeded your credit limit.

Bankruptcy is a legal process that relieves debtors of the responsibility of paying their debts or protects them while they try to repay. When you declare bankruptcy, you are said to be insolvent. This means you have insufficient income and assets to pay your debts. Bankruptcy is a second chance, but it carries serious consequences.

The first is to protect debtors by giving them a fresh start, free from creditors’ claims. The second is to give fair treatment to creditors competing for debtors’ assets.
