Signs of
Bankruptcy
There are certain signs that creditors look for when they are
figuring out what a clients’ chances are for filing bankruptcy.
There are those that know immediately when they are looking at
someone that has lost all hope, and then there are those that
are saying that they might file, but they also might not. For
those that are looking at filing bankruptcy, quite often the
creditor will reduce the amount of debt that you owe because
they understand that they won’t get anything once the case is
taken on. So they try to get you to give them something –
anything – so that the debt is not a complete wash.
They look for people who are behind in their debts – all of
their debts – for a long time. They also look at the number of
notices that they have sent to the debtor and whether or not
they have gotten a response. If someone is trying to save their
credit they usually call, no phone call means that they normally
don’t care anymore. They look at the kinds of assets someone has
and if they don’t have anything then they are not worried about
having to sell things off. They also look at how low your
current score is for credit and if it is super low then there is
no way that they are concerned about their credit rating.
Finally they look to see if there is any way that the debtor
will be able to pay off the debt if they don’t file – and if it
looks like they won’t then they know that there is no chance of
them paying back any of that debt.
