Insolvency- If you can pay your bills as and when they become due and payable, you are 'solvent'. If you cannot, you are insolvent whereas bankruptcy is a legal status of a person or other entity that cannot repay the debts it owes to creditors. In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed by a court order, often initiated by the debtor.
