Congress for sale?
Big banks had contributed millions of dollars to
Senators and Congressmen for years seeking "bankruptcy
reform" due to the perceived notion that people were
irresponsibly walking away from debts without cause.
Never mind the billions in profits the banks were
earning by charging interest rates upwards of 30% or
more after certain stressed consumers were labeled "slow
pay" -- which only pushed them closer to bankruptcy.
In our bankruptcy practice,
we find that people generally fall into one or more of
the following three categories: The bankruptcy is
due to (1) divorce, (2) unemployment (3) medical
disability or bills. Usually it is a combination
of all three. In general, people do NOT simply run
up large bills intentionally and walk away from them.
The truth of the matter.
Very few people filing
bankruptcy are well-to-do individuals trying to cheat
the system and stiff their creditors. According to a
1999 study by federal bankruptcy judges, the
average person filing for bankruptcy earns just $22,000
per year. Most have
suffered a significant period of unemployment before
filing.
According to a
report by Consumers Union, publisher of the
well-respected Consumer Reports magazine, 85% of elderly
debtors cite medical or job problems as the reason for
bankruptcy. Consumers Union also says that single moms
trying to make ends meet make up a large portion of
bankruptcy filers.
Half of all bankruptcies
are triggered by sudden uninsured medical expenses,
according to
a recent Harvard study by Professor Elizabeth
Warren.

Protect your right to bankruptcy relief -- even under bankruptcy
reform. The Office of the United States Trustee has never
successfully brought an objection to discharge or motion
to dismiss against a client of Morris Law Firm, P.C.
In a recent 2008 case, the Trustee moved to revoke the
discharge of a single, impoverished, divorced woman.
The Trustee's actions were based on nonsense from her
abusive ex-husband, but the staff attorney for the U.S.
Trustee's Office refused to back off. Following
trial, the bankruptcy court entered judgment on behalf
of the client and the firm prevailed. This
client preserved her right to walk away from tens of
thousands of dollars of debt. Selecting a good
Denver Bankruptcy Lawyer
can make or break your bankruptcy.
