The economic uncertainty and challenging job market of the past few years have created desperate financial straits for many people. As a result, filing bankruptcy may become the only viable option for some. Myths and inaccuracies about this topic and its consequences abound, and it can be a confusing and unsettling process to navigate without a guide.

• Chapter 13 as an alternative to an offer and compromise
• Ramifications of filing
