While filing bankruptcy might be problematic for credit report purposes, the fact is, being so burdened by debt that it becomes overwhelming can also be difficult if not worse. Unfortunately, for this debtor - she has trashed her credit - and she's still stuck with her debt. A very unwise move on her part - and one that I hope serves as a warning to others. -Bill McLeod I agree that her justification for not being honest on her bankruptcy petition is mind-boggling.

Clearly she did not understand that bankruptcy on her credit report is THE ultimate in destruction !! Doesn't matter if those creditors might have deigned to keep those accounts open - it would not have helped her credit 1 iota. She didn’t want to ‘destroy her credit’ ??
