    Duplicate thread on the Debt free wannabee sub forum, where the OP might be better advised?

    I've read 1 in 6, 1 in 8 and another article that said anyone with a job will get one.
    Each BR is taken on it's own merit.  Statistics are neither helpful or relevant to your specific situation.
    I am considering bankruptcy but if I wind up with an IPA it will ruin me financially more than simply paying my debts ever could.

    I am struggling to see how that can be the case.  Currently your debts are what your debts are.  Post-bankruptcy your payments will be set at a level that is affordable.  You cannot be worse off day to day.
