New Bankruptcy Law ? Five Essential Things to Know
Last April, Congress passed the Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act, the most sweeping reform of our nation's bankruptcy laws in more than twenty-five years. Proponents of the bill argue that most consumers who file for bankruptcy do so simply because they do not wish to pay their bills.

Bankruptcy: Who is to Blame?
If you are considering bankruptcy as a solution to your financial problems, you are not alone. Bankruptcy is on the rise in this country as consumer debt piles higher and higher.

But creditors would argue that consumers have no sense of self control, taking on debt that they aren't sure they can repay. In reality, there are many different reasons that people file for bankruptcy.

We all like the word free, after all there's not a whole lot better than getting something and not having to pay for it. However that portion of the topic is for an article somewhere down the line at another time as this article is to serve as focus on the tough choice of filing for bankruptcy protection.
