In Texas, if all I have is credit card debt after a divorce, is it better in the long run to file bankruptcy or just not pay?
I have large credit card debt that has been given to me due to a divorce. It is more than what I can pay. Will it affect my credit less by filing bankruptcy or by just not paying? I have about $15k in credit card debt split over 4 different cards. I'm already a month or two behind in not paying them. Should I contine not to pay and try to work out a debt setllement, not pay altogether, or file bankruptcy? I just want to know what is better for me in the long run when I do decide to try and buy a house again.
