I declared bankruptcy in 2012. I was 44K in credit card debt, had no income, and no assets. It was a huge relief. It was a bit of a pain for the 9 months I was in bankrupcty, I had to file monthly income / expense statements, and go for credit counselling which I found helpful.

It was a huge relief.

In Canada it takes 9 years for the bankruptcy to come off your record, so I'm waiting it out. And I've discovered that it's quite easy to live without a credit card.
