Can my Debt Settlement amount be included in my bankruptcy?

In: Credit and Debit Cards [Edit categories]

Answer:

Your best bet is to cancel your plan, and file bankruptcy. To have both is a bad bet. Most debt settlement claims aren't very useful in the long run, and you'll probably end up bankrupt either way, unless a lump sum is paid. There will be consequences to canceling, but it will probably outweigh the risks of having both.
