    Before anyone can answer this realiably, we’d need to know:

    - does he have any assets
    - does he hold office (policeman, public official, company director)
    - who he owes the money to – the state, or private companies/individuals

    There are many settlement companies, but they exist to line their own pockets. There are ways of handling this yourself… but without further information, we cannot advise.

    Get Dave Ramsey’s book The Total Money Makeover and read it quickly. It has a terrific plan for every period in your life from getting out of debt to when to buy a home and when to invest.

    If you declare bankruptcy, you could lose assets worth $12,000, plus the problem would be compounded by the fact that you would not be able to purchase anything major with his credit. So, if he can, tell him to get some sort of credit counseling before doing anything rash. There may be a way to get out of it without losing some of your possessions, like a second job, you could work a second job etc.

    Receiving help from debt reduction services normally helps you avoid
    bankruptcy, pay off your debt in full and get your finances under
    control. Bankruptcy should be your final choice, and debt reduction
    services prefer to help you to eliminate your debt completely, instead
    of running from your debt.
