When filing chapter 7 bankruptcy do I list now due property taxes as secured debt or unsecured priority?
This is an individual filing. I have had debt counseling and told that I need Chapter 7 because negotiating won’t help.

In debt really bad…considering filing bankruptcy..?
Okay, so I’m about 12,000 in debt. I have three credit cards I’m currently paying on. I called a debt counselor and was hoping they could lower my monthly payments. I pay roughly 300 dollars a month to all 3 credit cards. I only get 900 dollars a month, so 300 dollars is a big chunk to have to pay 
So any how, when I talked to the lady she said I would be paying anywhere from 300 a month to 350! That’s already what I pay now! I just thought that debt counseling or management was suppose to help people lower their payments! I’m just confused as to what I should do. Should I just file bankruptcy?
Thanks

Bankruptcy?
After going to debt counseling,I had no option left except to file a chapter 7. Listed with my debtors are 2 payday loans,2 weeks prior to filing,I took out a payday loan for 5,yes it was stupid,but food on the table seem more important at the time.I called and informed them,that I had to retain a lawyer,and was informed that when I signed the contract I would not be filing bankruptcy within 30 days,and my attorney was a personel friend.I did not plan on filing,all other options were used up.Can and will this effect my bankruptcy? Also,the 2nd payday loan I borrowed from is a prominent member of the community,and told me he would get his $ one way or the other,even if it ment following my butt all the way up the court house steps.I am a emotional wreck! The stress of the bankruptcy has taken it’s toll,and now this.I will call my attorney on Mon.,but if anyone could help relieve some of this emotional roller coaster,I would deeply appreciate it!
