Carter’s rep, Steve Honig, maintains to the US site that most of the debt was accumulated during his teenage years, and that declaring for bankruptcy will now enable him to move forward with his career.
He said:
“The overwhelming majority of the debt he is asking to be discharged is from more than ten years ago when he was a minor and not in control of his finances.”
