Should I file?
$25,000 credit card debt.
$36,000 car note, $18,000 KBB value
$65,000 student loans, currently in deferment.
$40k salary, with a possible $10k bonus in April (only if I do not file). Will also be receiving an additional $1,200 a month as a housing allowance for the next 36 months.
Credit score is 610. Never missed a payment, no derogatory marks. Credit cards are maxed, $3,000 in savings.
I would have to be on unemployment for a month or two to pass the means test, which would possibly cause issues with my current job offer.
Thoughts? I've been struggling with debt for the past eight years. I worked two jobs for six months and paid down some of the debt....Saw my credit score raise to 715, and then I had a gambling relapse and ran up another $13,000. This sucks...
