Bankruptcy and Debt Relief


Bankruptcy and Debt Relief 

Bankruptcy is a state of most consumers who are not very well versed with financial planning and get caught up with unwanted debts that they can never repay or find it extremely difficult to repay. It has been marked as a official position of an individual or an organization who is unable to pay back their debts borrowed from creditors and in the process become insolvents and lose their credibility in the market for good. In most cases, this is forced upon by a court decree.

The state of bankruptcy is not similar in all countries. In the United States, bankruptcy refers to the formal procedures of insolvency. Did you know that the word bankruptcy is derived from the Italian word banca rotta meaning “broken bench?” It literally means breaking a moneychanger’s bench to prove his insolvency.

The focus of modern law and debt restructuring is not anymore about proving the insolvency of the debtors and eliminating them from the market, but about remodeling their status of financial distress so as to give them a chance of improvement and allowing them to continue in the market.  It is important to be assured that such financial conditions do not reoccur.

Bankruptcy in United States falls under the Federal Jurisdiction by the United States Constitution. And hence, the laws of bankruptcy are uniform throughout the country. Bankruptcy cases are filed in the United States Bankruptcy court and are all in majority cases, dependent on State law which plays a major role in most bankruptcy cases.

Debt Relief:

Debt Relief is the forgiveness of debt in part or in total owed by individuals or organizations. Personal debt has become one of the biggest concerns for most developed countries. An average US household is estimated to have about $19000 of non-mortgage debt. When debt loads are this heavy, individuals find it extremely difficult to repay their debts and are in search of help.

Of late, there are many companies which have come up to help with debt consolidation. However, such services provided may not be favorable for the individual in all cases. It is best to consult a consumer association for advice before making a decision on the best avenue.

In the current scenario, the most general methods of debt relief are found to be forbearance and debt restructuring. Under forbearance, the interest payments are compromised as long as the payments are regular and there is no change in the principal amount.

One of the most popular associations in the U.S is Gainesville Bankruptcy Attorneys who handle debt relief both for individuals and corporate. The Gainesville debt relief includes both Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 of bankruptcy. They actively help with control of credit cards, medical bills, back mortgage payments, car loans, finance/loan companies, student loans and other common forms of debt.

 Also available is the Florida Debt Relief Centre who have been there since 1991 and constantly helped people in Miami, West Palm Beach and the rest of Florida to solve their financial crisis successfully. They help with credit card debt, mortgage foreclosures, lawsuits, IRS tax problems and various other issues.
