I'm in a very worrying situation. A few years ago, I had to stop working due to serious health complications. Even now, I have a glimmer of hope that I might eventually be able to return to work, something no one believes is possible because of my condition. Since I stopped working, I've had to rely on government assistance (social health assistance) because I didn't have insurance. Since then, I've been trying to survive on my credit cards as best I can. My ex-partner and my son helped me pay them off. However, I no longer have a partner, and my son can no longer help me. Can I file for bankruptcy? This worries me greatly because I've read that if you use your credit cards knowing you can't repay them, bankruptcy can be denied. I certainly didn't use my cards thinking I wouldn't be able to repay them; far from it. My hope of returning to work remains, even though it's currently impossible given my condition. What do you suggest, please?
Your situation doesn't appear to reveal any wrongdoing. I believe you would benefit from consulting a trustee to start fresh.

- I am married and we bought a house together last year. We own a company, and for the past two years, we have been accumulating debt, both company debt and personal debt. We are considering filing for company bankruptcy, and my husband is also considering personal bankruptcy. If my husband files for bankruptcy but I don't, will we be able to keep the house since it is in both our names? My husband is also the primary cardholder on a credit card, and I also have a card on that account. If he files for bankruptcy, am I responsible for that account even though I am not the primary cardholder?
