Bankruptcy Alternatives

Bankruptcy alternatives are strategies individuals or businesses can explore to manage debt without filing for bankruptcy. These options include debt consolidation, where debts are combined into one loan with a lower interest rate; debt negotiation, where creditors may agree to reduce the amount owed; and debt management plans, involving a credit counseling service that negotiates payment terms. Additionally, selling assets or increasing income through side jobs can help cover debts. Each option aims to relieve financial pressure while preserving credit standing, encouraging a fresh start without the long-term consequences of bankruptcy.
