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 the 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.
