Hi, we have a family member, 21 now, who is in pretty bad credit card debt and debt with some hospital bills. She has zero money in the bank and has not been able to work for months due to being in the hospital. I am not sure the amount of money she owes, but I know she has some collection agencies after her, plus she is way overdrafted on her checking account. I would say she has a total debt anywhere between $10,000-$20,000.
Now, she is able to work at the moment, but there's no way she is able to support herself and pay these bills also.
WHat would she typically expect if someone in her position filed for bancruptcy?
Please don't tell me to tell her to see a lawyer. I already know that. Just want some feedback from anyone who has recently done this or knows about what would happen.
