New Bankruptcy Laws
New bankruptcy laws enacted by Congress in 2005 have changed the way consumers, businesses, corporations and farmers obtain protection from creditors. The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) includes provisions which require debtors to engage in credit counseling and undergo the process of the 'means' test.
Under the new bankruptcy laws, filing for bankruptcy has become considerably more complex and costly. BAPCPA was enacted to prevent consumers from racking up large amounts of debts, than filing bankruptcy to avoid repayment. However, the strict provisions have made it difficult for individuals who require debt relief caused by mounting medical bills and inflated mortgage payments.

Debts
Debts have reached epidemic proportions and the U.S. economy is on the verge of collapse. Not only are corporations failing at unprecedented rates, American consumers have accrued more than $2 trillion in creditor debts. This figure does not account for the billions due in outstanding mortgage debts.
Experts claim the average American carries $20,000 in outstanding debts. Today, it is common practice for consumers to use credit cards to pay for daily living expenses including gas, utilities, food and clothing. With the current economic chaos, experts predict credit card companies will soon begin reducing credit limits. If this occurs, Americans who use plastic to pay for living expenses will be unable to meet their monthly financial obligations.

Bankruptcy
For many Americans, bankruptcy is the only alternative they have to save their financial assets and personal belongings. While most people view bankruptcy as financial failure, nothing could be further from the truth.
Bankruptcy can be traced back to the Old Testament of the Bible. According to Moses Laws, every 50 years all debts are eliminated. Additionally, the Hebrew law of Forgiveness instructs a release of debt every seven years. Unfortunately, this belief has not carried over to Americans and millions of people are facing foreclosure, loss of valuable assets and complete financial ruin
