Über diesen Titel

 Drowning in debt and unsure whether bankruptcy or settlement is the right move? In this episode of The Debt Hotline, George is joined by Ben Jackson, co-founder of Upsolve, the nation’s largest nonprofit bankruptcy platform. Ben knows the struggle firsthand. After his first business failed, he was left with $60,000 in credit card debt and no way to pay it off. Filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy gave him a fresh start and the chance to rebuild his financial life.

Together, George and Ben break down the critical decision many Americans face: whether to wipe out debt through bankruptcy or negotiate down balances through settlement. They share insider insights on Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 bankruptcy, debt management plans, and how everyday people can bounce back from even the toughest financial setbacks.Sued for debt?
