wondering if any one has gone bankrupt as a sex worker and what your experience was ?
The thought of bankruptcy is extremely overwhelming for me and add declaring what I do for work is even more daunting!
The possible bankruptcy will be due to negative equity in a property I use solely use for work (I don't live there ) so I guess I will have explaining to do while I am paying for 2 properties.
mortgage , service charge , bill increases and work decreasing / perimenopausal issues means I just can not keep up with the incall property bills any more along with overdrafts /credit card debts I really feel the burden. X
I have no experience with declaring bankruptcy as a sex worker but my boss declared bankruptcy, so I can tell you a little about her experience.
She was a financial analyst and took a loan from a high street bank. She couldn't make the repayments due to personal choices around men. The bankruptcy meant that all her assets were stripped and her bank accounts closed. She was unable to have any "freedom" in her spending as her creditors had first dibs on her money and her life was overshadowed by an allowance to live on; she had no credit cards at all.
The bankruptcy lasted for ten years and she says it was the worst decision of her life! If she could rewind time, she would have chosen another option or come to some sort of financial plan with her creditors.
The most devastating aspect was that she could no longer work in any job that required a background check or any financial roles, as they required a credit check. She also couldn't just start up her own business as she had to get the court's permission.
I am sure you have done your homework and had advice so I will only say good luck to you and hope everything works out for the best.
