Am I eligible to file for a bankruptcy?

I have a lot of delinquent credit card accounts and a loan that I currently cannot afford to pay. I have total of about S$30,000 in debt that I currently cannot pay. I thought of filing for bankruptcy but I'm not sure if I am eligible to file for one nor am I aware of the rules in filing for a bankruptcy.

    You are definitely eligible to file for a bankruptcy. As long as you have a debt of S$15,000 or more, you can voluntarily file for a bankruptcy in Singapore. Alternatively, your creditors can also take action and file to make you bankrupt if they don't think that you would be able to pay the debt that you owe them.

Terrible customer service in Singapore.

This folks have a terrible customer service in Singapore. If you have a problem, then good luck trying to contact them. I requested for refund and stop any payment to a certain company because I did not receive the ordered items and there was no delivery schedule or whatsoever. The reply was really classic, "Thank you for reporting this case, after reviewing your case, we found that this transaction was not unauthorized and hence couldn't be covered under PayPal Purchase Protection" and just like that the case was closed.
