Right. You don’t have any money, so you would have to borrow it. Even if you could find someone prepared to lend to a shortly-to-be-bankrupt company (look, it does happen),  it would lend to you ''at your current state of indebtedness''. So you would be trading your apparently cheap [[indebtedness]] for ''more expensive [[indebtedness]]''.

So you would be extinguishing your apparently “cheap” [[indebtedness]] and replacing it with ''more expensive [[indebtedness]]''.
