Well, I’ve had better days.

[R&GHomer]

Filed for divorce and bankruptcy on the same f**king day. So far the divorce is uncontested 50 / 50 straight down the line and well, I just couldn’t think of anything else too do but claim bankruptcy. I was unemployed for 6 months, getting sued by the credit card company and the company that financed my Van.

The credit card company was willing to work something out, but the auto financer basically told me to take a flying leap. They said; sure you can start making payments now that you’re employed, but we are still going to sue ya. Now, understand they have already taken the van and sold it for far below what I still owed on it. I tried working with a couple of the credit places and they won’t even try to work with the auto stuff.

My lawyer basically said that you can split all the bills in the divorce, but if they can’t get the money from her, they are going to come looking for you. So the future ex and I said **** it and filed. I sure hope I did the right thing.

Has anyone been forced into something similar? If so, do you have any advice on the best way to rebuild my credit and what kind of hassles I’m going to run into?

Thanks….

Thanks….Divorce, unless you are rich and have a pre nup, almost always leads to a bankruptcy. Since a lot of the marital strife stemmed from the money troubles in the first place, it is a good bet most divorced couples are upside down on their balance sheets.

You did the right thing, at least your ex is bankrupt as well.

[KChiefsQT]

my mom filed for bankruptcy a few years back after her and my dad divorced. You just have to build up credit all over again. But...you'll get through it. You did the right thing. I wish you the best of luck on this rough day!! Take care of yourself!!!!!!!!

[Skip Towne]

I made it through a divorce without bankrupting. But it certainly put a dent in my finances.

First, sounds rough but you'll get past it and be better for it.

Second, is there anyone near him to make sure there aren't any bowls of antifreeze left out?

Sorry about these unfortunate events. Life is difficult, often. Keep your chin up, and keep pushin....and doin' what you think is right.

Creditors who act as your auto financier drive people to desperate actions. I realize they have stock holders to keep happy, but the bottom-line is when you treat conscientious customers (you sound as if you tried to work with them) without leniency or compassion, they put customers in a difficult spot. No wonder many customers then say, "fugg it; I'll just declare bankruptcy"--at that point, many of us would. In the end, such creditors are worse off for their flippant and arrogant tactics.

Credit can be rebuilt; these things happen a lot these days. Many have moved on, so will you. Be tough; hang in there...although I know that is easier said than done.

I'm sure everything is going to be alright, but I really hated to file bankruptcy. I just feel like a bum! But hell, it wasn't like they gave me many options.

[KCChiefsMan]

ya man! sorry to hear about that...sucks

note to self...never get married or have kids!

[tommykat]

My best friends husband now had to do the samething during his divorce...However he had a hellion wife......so he opted out of all the things they owned as he would never have been able to pay them even with his good job. I've know many that have done just as you, around 7 yrs. and all is clean, but you will have good credit at places faster. Hang tuff...;) Sorry you had that kind of a day.........

Yeah because all the other pictures of JG look great.

I hear ya, it's that kind of shit that has me worried. My future ex thinks I’m being paranoid by making sure everything is in writing, but I call it “CYA” cover your own ass. I have no way of knowing what kind of shit she may pull in the future, so it’s best to limit her options now.. As best I can of course.

That's a bummer, R&G. I guess the good news is that it can only get better from here.

i didn't hear your offer to take me on vacation.

[keg in kc]

I don't have any advice for you man, but you'll be fine. Getting out from under a bad marriage can and will make all the difference in the world. You may well look back at this day later on as the beginning of something good.

[Jenny Gump]

Ok...you had a sh*t sandwich kind of day. Look on the bright side, you get to start over. Hang in there baby.
