Dealing with Filing Bankruptcy

About Me

Hi! My name is Shirley Wilson. My husband and I are in our early fifties. We have raised two children and were hoping to retire in a few years. However, it does not take much for life to take a quick turn. About five years ago my husband was laid off from his job. A few months later, my place of business had budget cuts and my hours were cut. We found ourselves dipping into our retirement funds on a monthly basis, our savings accounts didn’t last long, and before we knew it our credit card balances were through the roof.

I’m going to share our bankruptcy story with you.
