Bankruptcies may involve a court process, home foreclosure or the sale of assets such as furniture and cars.

Debt Negotiation Programs - this is a process similar to debt consolidation, but specifically deals with the professional negotiation by a third party on your behalf with banks and other debtors, to reach the best possible debt repayment program.
