    BoA probably already sent it to collections then. I have been paying a local attorney for over 3 yrs for a past BoA account–never late, and a yr ago, couldn’t get a loan on a car because of my debt/income ratio, and the fact I was paying an attorney and still owed more than $1000 on it–four separate dealers told me this.

    My father filed bankruptcy 10 yrs ago, and 2 yrs later was later to finance a condo in southern Calif. FUCK all the credit card companies!!!! Don’t use them or the banks!!

    Exactly. Even if you go through consumer credit counseling, your credit is still harmed almost as bad ( consumer credit is just a baby step up from bankruptcy ), BUT you’re having to pay a couple hundred $ usually, every month, and that mark still stays on your credit, which harms if you should need to finance a vehicle, home, etc.

    Loans tend to use your debt/income ratio now, so filing bankruptcy loosens this ratio up, thereby increasing your loan options if you chose to.

    I stopped paying my credit cards and plan on filing for bankruptcy if I am served a summons.

    If I pay back 100% of my debt under 5 years in a chapter 13 (worst case) it is @1,216 for 5 years, on my own it will take 13.6 years.

    BoA can kiss my ass with their 19,99% rates. They don’t even call me even though I am over 60 days behind.
