How do I go about filing bankruptcy?
My wife and I are in serious debt, we made a bad investment on a retail property 3 years ago, we charged up our credit cards remodeling, in hopes of a quick sell, as we were in the process, as we all know the market turned. We decided to rent it out, but three bad tenants in a row, we sunk deeper into debt with mortgage, property taxes, and credit cards. We can no longer keep up, I think we need to just pull the trigger on bankruptcy.
