I got into an accident and got sued bystate farm for 32,000.00 can I still file backruptcy?

you can sit down with a non profit credit counseling agency. NOT one of those scams where they promise to cut your debt in half.

this is required by the bankruptcy court and it will help you decide what to do.

Hi BigEgo,

Yes, you can file bankruptcy. However, you can talk to the person representing the state farm and negotiate a settlement on this judgment amount. Settlement lowers the outstanding debt amount by 40-60%. Get the agreement in writing.

Thanks,

Aaron
