All your dues should be paid punctually to avoid any late payment charges. As a general rule, the credit cards should be avoided as they encourage you to spend more than what you can afford. Instead of credit cards use of debit cards should be preferred because they let you spend only what you have got in your bank account. As a wise consumer you should take advantage of the competition in the markets by being aware of the information provided in your newspaper and on internet. You should always strive to secure the best deal for whatever you purchase. While shopping, a bit of planning may let you get maximum out of your shopping trips which otherwise can waste your money in extra fuel costs.

If you have already crossed this stage and feeling financially strained then also you should not panic and try all the alternatives to bankruptcy. The best way to ease your financial situation is to approach your creditors, like credit card companies and work out some arrangements, which can be mutually beneficial to both the parties. Making informal proposals or suggesting them some payment plans to help you pay-off your debts in an orderly way can certainly help you to ward-off bankruptcy. Many creditors are more than willing to cooperate with you and work out a new arrangement as it is to their advantage to keep you as a customer. Another very desirable alternative to bankruptcy is getting all your debts consolidated. Today there are many financial institutions that are providing debt consolidation services. They consolidate all your debts into one loan for which you have to make reasonable monthly payments. This is very beneficial for a person who is being plagued by his numerous debts as it relieves him both financially and psychologically; because after consolidating his debts he will have only one creditor and will have to pay only one monthly installment. A debt workout is another form of alternative in which your attorney approaches your creditors and makes arrangements with them to pay off your debts amicably.

Thus, if you follow these tips and exercise these alternatives properly, you may definitely save yourself from the problems that are associated with Personal Bankruptcy.

At a University of British Columbia party hosted by the Beta fraternity 11 women were drugged. A Beta Theta Pi Fraternity held on September 21st lead to these women being drugged.

Stephanie Ataliotis attended this party with her friends but soon left after feeling sick. Stephanie became sick and after throwing up for hours the next morning went to hospital. It was discovered that her system contained BHP. BHP is short for gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid which is a sedative. This drug is commonly known as a date-rape drug.

Ataliotis wrote on her Facebook group “Help Find Out Who Was Trying To Rape Girls At The Beta Party On Friday.”

It is fortunate that Ataliotis felt sick early and left the party with her friends. Otherwise this scenario would have been much more disastrous. Ataliotis says “I was feeling sick and kind of out of it. I didn’t feel drunk, I felt different. Everything was kind of blurry and I wasn’t really talking. I went up to someone I sort of knew and told him that I needed my friends and that I needed to go home and that I wasn’t feeling well.”

University campuses are attractive to rapists because there are lots of young girls. Campus parties are an easy way for rapists to target girls as there are many girls who don’t know anyone and are socially drinking to fit in. These girls are anxious to meet new people as they are alone and don’t know anyone at the party. Such girls are perfect targets for date-rapists.

According the University of Alberta over 80 percent of women assaulted on campus know their attackers and 50 percent of attacks are cases of date-rape. Statistics Canada reports that only six percent of sexual assaults are ever reported to police.
