Bankruptcy is really a complicated issue. What could be worse for an individual or a corporation than having to file for bankruptcy? It can impact the lives of many people and ruin their careers and render them completely helpless. The very word bankruptcy means a legal state of being unable to repay debts that one owes to the creditors. It is also sometimes referred to as insolvency. It can happen to both individual and organizations. Creditors normally file a bankruptcy petition in an endeavor to recover a part of the money payable to them by the company or organization when bankruptcy happens to an organization. When it happens to an individual then they get buried in so much debt that they find it impossible to recover from it, and have no other option but to file for bankruptcy.
