...and am living on my credit cards. I am in debt 40,000.00. I met w/ an attorney today and he told me that I have to stop using the cards, get a job, and keep paying the amount due before claiming bankruptcy. How can I pay on the cards, not use them and live without money coming in? I have never been late on a payment, EVER, but I'm drowning in debt and no job, with none in sight(I used to make 40k a year, lost my job, been looking for months!). I own my car, and I just moved in w/ my boyfriend to make ends meet, they can't take anything away from me. Should I stop paying on them? max them out (against everything I believe in, everyone does this, my friends say)? take my chances? Can I go to jail for this? What will happen if I can't pay them? I need some REAL sound advice here. Thank you SO much for the replies. I'm an honest person who never thought this would happen to ME, please don't judge me. I only hope this never happens to you. Please help me.
