Q: which one is a better option for applying for new job? Declaring bankruptcy or getting debts settled?
I have a total 40K debt. I have 10K car loan left which I have never missed a payment. But I am no longer able to pay my credit cards after losing my job which is 30K and they are all charged off. I am about to finish a course and try to land on software engineering job. But I do have concerns. The jobs I would be applying usually require a public trust security clearance. Declaring bankruptcy or getting my debts settled through a debt relief program? which one is a better solution to obtain a public trust security clearance and get less affected by my bad credit history
