Credit cards debt $65,000. Which way should I do (Bankruptcy chapter 7 or 13 better than debt settlement or debt management plan)?

Hi I have $65,000 credit cards debt, earn $64,500 before taxes, a house paid off which $180,000 more than homestead exemption. After deducting all food, medical bills, utilities, insurance, HOA, property tax, I have about $700 left each month. I have had a hard time from divorce with 2 kids 3 years ago plus health conditions which I can’t pay minimum for all cc debt. I tried to work side hustle but couldn’t do much because of my health issue. I contacted DMP & Debt Settlement, but their monthly payments were still too much for me to afford.

What is the best way to pay them off (Debt management plan, debt settlement, bankruptcy chapter 7 or bankruptcy chapter 13)?

Thank you 🙏🏼

If I file Bankruptcy Chapter 13, is it possible to pay less than 100% repayment plans?

Should I file chapter 13? I’m really overwhelmed and afraid I might pay 100% repayment plans for 5 years. They might force me to put the house for sales or loan to pay off the creditors.

Is it possible that I can have less than 100% and still keep my house?

Thank you 🙏🏼
