Can I file bankruptcy with perfect credit?

I pay all of my debts on time (but I’m struggling) . . . Can I still file?

Yes.

Perfect credit

Your credit history does not influence your ability to qualify for Bankruptcy.

There are no rules or requirements related to your credit you must meet when filing for bankruptcy.

You do not need to be behind on your bills or ever missed a single payment.

I think this is a common myth in Bankruptcy – that you have to have bad credit to file, but it is simply not the case. Too often people facing bankruptcy have been on a downward spiral. It is not a result of something that happened over night.spiral

Many may have “perfect credit” on paper but when you actually start looking at the numbers they are over extended month after month after month.

They have borrowed from one place to make a payment somewhere else. They have sold everything they can at garage sales or online. They have borrowed against – or fully depleted their retirement accounts.

These types of actions are exactly why you should speak to an experienced bankruptcy attorney sooner than later.
