  2. Hi, This would be great Post. Thank you. In conclusion, filing for bankruptcy is not good as it will have a negative impact on a person’s credit record and history. It will also take a very long time to repair a credit record. So before finally deciding to file for a bankruptcy, think about all the consequences first. Of course to some it’s the only option left, and there is life after bankruptcy.
