You sertainly don't want to let your creditors know that you are considering bankruptcy, or they make the preemptive move of seeking a default judgement against you.
If you are going to try to negotiate with your creditors then you should seek out the help of a credit counselor who can assist you in this area. If you have made the decision file for bankruptcy then you will definatly need the help of a qualified bankruptcy attorney. After your attorney files the papers at the court clerks office your creditors will then be notified that you intend to have your bills discharged.
This will be the beginning of your creditors trying to negotiate with you seriously.
