Helping you make smart bankruptcy decisions

What are the new laws for Bankruptcy?

I'm wonder what the new laws in PA when you claim Bankruptcy, maybe a good website that i can get information from??

Among its many changes to consumer bankruptcy law, BAPCPA enacted a "means test," which has made it more difficult for a small number of financially distressed individual debtors whose debts are primarily consumer debts to qualify for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. If a debtor does not qualify for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the debtor may still seek relief under Chapter 13 of the Code. BAPCPA also requires individuals seeking bankruptcy relief to undertake credit counseling with approved counseling agencies prior to filing a bankruptcy petition and to undertake education in personal financial management from approved agencies prior to being granted a discharge of debts under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
