How can a natural person start insolvency content?

Most of us have experienced periods in our life when unexpected circumstances lead to a loss of income or unexpected expenses. Typically, such situations are temporary and can be resolved by borrowing additional cash, splitting up due payments or otherwise "going through" financially precarious times.

However, financial problems may not be solved in the short term, and debt levels are only rising, one person settles on another, and creditors calculate interest and penalties that increase over time. At this point, you should ask yourself whether it is even possible to pay off your debt in the foreseeable future. Instead of devoting the next few years of your life to paying off debt and interest payments, nowadays there is a legal and effective mechanism for overcoming financial failures and gaining the opportunity to regain control over your income in the short term.
