Warning: Do Not File Bankruptcy Until...

With the economy still in the toilet, bankruptcy rates continue to stay high.  With the recent news that credit card companies like Capital One are starting to file civil suites against debtors, going as far as to seek jail time, more and more people are turning to bankruptcy as a means of wiping the slate clean and getting a fresh start.
Sometimes identity theft will further deteriorate an already bleak situation.  Credit card companies are becoming more aggressive with collections.  False charges are becoming more difficult to contest.  29% interest rates are unfair to consumers and make minimum payments unpayable, forcing deals to be struck or constant harassment to be suffered.
Bankruptcy in an escape from the dirty tactics of credit card companies who prey on your inability to pay on your debts, racking up charges and skyrocketing interest rates.  As an honest consumer, most people wish to  honor their debt.  It is the moral thing to do.  However, should you allow these large companies to bully you and take advantage of your good intentions?  When they will no longer be reasonable, drastic action must be taken.
Be careful when selecting your representation as well.  The last thing you need during this vulnerable time is someone else trying to take you to the cleaners.
