I have a granddaughter who is old enough to know better; however, she messed up big time. She has allowed herself and a boy friend to run up $20K in credit card debt on her cards. He has taken off and she cannot pay it off. She is talking bankruptcy.
Does anyone know what bankruptcy does to your life. Can you ever get a credit card again. Does it go on your employment info. Does it dog you forever.
I would prefer to do this through a pm rather than putting her private information on a chat line. Any information would be gratefully appreciated.

Check this link on the cons of filing bankruptcy and the alternatives that are available. Until she gets this behind her, the best advice I could offer would be to pay cash for those incidentals she would normally have used a credit card. Then I'd tell her to lock her credit so the POS she was living with can't apply for a new card in her name. My final suggestion would be to develop the mindset "If I can't afford it, then I won't buy it."
