Government Changes Bankruptcy Law
Filing bankruptcy is an effective way to eliminate and/or curtail your credit cards balances, delinquent taxes, mortgage arrears, medical bills, bad loans and many other types of debt. In the majority of cases your debts will be discharged. In the case of your home property, a prospective foreclosure action will be stopped. The bankruptcy court has the power to stop repossessions and judgments to collect debts. In this economy, filing bankruptcy no longer has a negative stigma; Americans are spending more for goods and services and earning less. Frugality is almost non-existent, and debt is an inevitable result. Do not let yourself fall into the trap of filing for bankruptcy without first consulting an attorney.
According to a statistical report by U.S. Courts: The Federal Judiciary, a total of 1,117,771 bankruptcies were filed in 2008, compared to 850,912 in 2007, a 31.4% increase. Our economy is experiencing tough financial crises right now, and many Americans are resorting to bankruptcy. The law also allows you to consolidate your debt in a reorganization plan administered by the bankruptcy court. Such supervision is a powerful tool for the average consumer under Chapter 13. Overwhelming debt often affects the consumer as follows:
- Hard to obtain credit
- Negative impacts if you are in business
- Loss of assets
- Family relationship impacts
- Health impacts
- Higher loan interest rates
