Why filing bankruptcy is a bad idea - even though it will eventually find it's way off of your credit file, filing for bankruptcy should generally be avoided at all costs.
The reason for this is that it takes a minimum of 7 years for a bankruptcy
to clear from your credit file, and can take up to 10 or 11 years to
clear from your credit file. Even after that, you will have to answer
questions about it for the rest of your life...and, most people
that file for bankruptcy after they do it, wish desperately
that there would have been another way to resolve the situation. 
For example, when you buy a house, most mortgage applications will include the question, "Have you even filed for bankruptcy?" They won't just ask, "In the last 7 or 10 years," but have you ever filed.

The reason they ask is because they need to know if you are a credit risk or not...filing for bankruptcy is the end all credit solution in a debt management crisis. And not one that should be taken without careful consideration, and analysis of your situation.
With many people, restructuring your debt can bring tremendous financial relief. If you have a lot of unsecured debt, or owe money that you can't pay back because you income isn't enough to meet your expenses, it is far better in the long run to work through the situation, instead of just up and declaring bankruptcy. The process also takes some time, and costs money which you might not have immediately to spend.
In many ways, a debt consolidation and management program is far superior, and can achieve the kind of results that you are looking for, without the permanent social stigma of bankruptcy.
