I'm filing bankruptcy - have hit total rock bottom

**toddsclowns** · 01-09-23, 05:44 PM

Is this 5th shift JJ?

**eidolon** · 01-09-23, 05:44 PM

You don't make 200k a year, or you aren't indebt 80k.
80k indebt is nothing.
You will never be allowed bankruptcy making that much with such a low level of debt.

**JIBBBY** · 01-09-23, 05:45 PM

Bankruptcy is overrated unless you own assets.

Creditors can't ever come after you and put you in jail or even seize your bank account even if you have massive debt and can't pay up. Your creeditt will be screwed for 10 years though. The debt collectors will send you letters and call and harass you constantly though but they can't do anything legally.

If you do own an asset like a house the bank can foreclose though if you can't pay that mortgage and you will get evicted and need to walk.

I hope JJ Gold is not reading this

Can't do anything legally? They can and do sur people and get judgements every day. Then wage garnishments. Unless you're judgement proof, it's not nothing and you're totally wrong

EGrecu, do you have access to multiple cars at the dealership? If so- get a couple bricks from the hood and chop them up and sell them. You can use different cars to move the product in different areas. Always switch cars. All right turns and no extra stops pal.

It’s too soon to give up. I was maxed out a few times in my late 20’s and early 30’s. Have to just chip away at things. Take on another job for some more income. Invest anything you can for a gain here or there.

You can pull off a comeback. If you want to keep gambling a little, $500 max bets can add up.

If you're betting with land based casinos see if you can get yourself on a self-exclusion list. Joining a GA group could help also. Best wishes and good luck to you.

Jibby and Brock arguing about who is regurgitating more bs...the stuff that keeps me coming back

**play4win** · 01-09-23, 09:30 PM

why worry if you got betpoints to use to pay off!!!

**gauchojake** · 01-09-23, 09:44 PM

I had the same thing happen and I called sunrise debt solutions. They settled all my debts for pennies on the dollar. 5 Stars!!!

**gauchojake** · 01-09-23, 09:45 PM

Just look at the bright side, the used car market has never been healthier.

**ThaWoj** · 01-09-23, 09:50 PM

A lot of wrong in this thread.

Someone said bankruptcy won't get discharged because 80k is too small? Completely false.

Ive been served, sued, and garnished several times. I know enough about debt and contract law just from my own cases that I probably could become a lawyer.

**jjgold** · 01-09-23, 09:51 PM

Jim, you don’t know anything about bankruptcy it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. I did it three times against my businesses and bailed out because of gambling debt.

**pavyracer** · 01-09-23, 09:59 PM

Make another parlay but bet the opposite of your pick on last leg.

**BlueChip1100** · 01-09-23, 09:59 PM

I got it you went on here to post your story. You probably depress as hell right now. Go get some alcohol.

You sounded similar to my situation. I don't think chapter 13 can help you. At this point, you shouldn't have to worry about the interest, fck it. Your credit is going to be affected regardless. If your debts are unsecured, the banks can't do sht about it unless the debt is big enough for them to pursue in court. Bad credit stays on report for 7 years. You are a car salesman, you should know this.

Just to make you feel better, I lost ~$1M since 2003. Hard earned-money. Believe it or not, I'm still betting. I make as much as you do as an engineer and a broke-ass. Good thing is I still have my health, my children, a decent house, and my job.

It's going to get worse before it gets better. Hang in there man.

I had a monster hot streak at the beginning of 2022 where i won back everything I ever lost and then some. After that, I hit a cold slump and lost everything chasing huge amounts and parlays

After that, I lost everything just trying to chase back and doing stupid parlays - my 401K is down to 20K. As it stands now, I'm in about 80K between personal loans and credit card debt. I'm filing chapter 13 to where at least the interest will be eliminated

I'm unbelievably frustrated with myself for ever allowing this to go so bad. I have a beautiful life - I make about 200K selling cars, my wife makes 60K a year as a nurse. She's a beautiful 24 year old girl who loves me to death. There's no reason for me to ever get involved with this

I'm 33

**KnuckleHeadz** · 01-09-23, 10:00 PM

Is Kraken the nurse you speak of?

Were you rewarded chapter 7 or 13? They are a very different thing. Chapter 7 is used to be easy to get, but not anymore. Too many people took advantage of it. You are 1 of them, Corbin LOL

**BlueChip1100** · 01-09-23, 10:10 PM

He probably has $80k with many banks. I think he is safe if each one is under $8k, $10k even. Just wait to see if they sue you in court or not. I had a $10K unsecured loan was written off, but they made me paid the tax on it thou.

I have a friend that ran up $40,000 in creddit carrd debt and one day couldn't pay it anymore, all his card limits and cards were frozen soon after.

10 years later he has new creddit cardds now and never paid the debt off on any of the old carrds of 10 years ago. He always had collection companies calling him and sending him mailers though.

Not BS. Is what it is. Debt was forgiven in time. He didn't go to jail, he didn't have his bank or wages attached.. PERIOD! FACT!!

JIBBBY is right if he lives in the state protects him from wage garnishment. Texas is one of them, plus the bank can't put a lien on a primary residence. Homestead protection act.

**biggie12** · 01-09-23, 10:18 PM

i keep telling you guys if you stop entertaining his nonsense he will stop posting.
