Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bankruptcy in America is a booming business, with hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans filing for bankruptcy each year. Is this dramatic growth a result of mushrooming debt or does it reflect a moral decline that permits the middle class to evade their debts? As We Forgive Our Debtors addresses these questions with hard empirical data drawn from bankruptcy court filings. The authors of this multidisciplinary study describe the law and the statistics in clear, nontechnical language, combining a thorough statistical description of the social and economic position of consumer bankrupts with human portraits of the debtors and creditors whose journeys have ended in bankruptcy court.

Download or read book The Ethics of Bankruptcy written by Jukka Kilpi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental ethical problem in bankruptcy is that insolvents have promised to pay their debts but can not keep their promise. The Ethics of Bankruptcy examines the morality of bankruptcy. The author compares and contrasts the Humean doctrine of promises as useful conventions with the Kantian view of autonomous agency constituting promissory obligations; he explores ethical concerns raised by forgiveness, utilitarianism and distributive justice and the moral aspects of insolvents' contractual, fiduciary, tortious and criminal liability. Finally, the author assesses recent bankruptcy law reforms. Bankruptcies severly hurt creditors and society. For the insolvents and their families the experience is painful and stigmatising, yet philosophers have paid little attention to the moral aspects of this violent social phenomenon. The Ethics of Bankruptcy is the first comprehensive study that employs the tools of ethics to examine the controversies surrounding insolvency, which makes valuable and sometimes controversial reading in a decade recovering from the Recession.

Download or read book How You Can Profit from Credit Cards written by Curtis E. Arnold and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2008-06-06 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who would not be interested in getting an interest-free loan for 12 months for any type of purchase just for taking a few minutes to complete a credit card balance transfer offer? Or a free round-trip airline ticket twice a year just for making purchases on a rebate card? Or lowering their insurance premiums by hundreds of dollars a year just by raising their credit score? Obviously, just about every consumer is interested in saving money and getting freebies! Hence, the universal appeal of this book cannot be overstated. Today, the average American household has 12.7 credit cards. Banks maximize their profits by "nickel and dimeing" and outsmarting their cardholders: that's why credit cards are their most profitable product. Banks spend billions enticing consumers with rebates, freebies, low-introductory rate offers, and airline miles. Learn how to take full advantage of these offers, without paying for them through brutally high interest rates, fees, and penalties! Arnold offers specific advice targeted to young consumers who are being aggressively targeted by credit card marketers; retirees facing credit discrimination; Americans recovering from bankruptcy or other debt problems; and even consumers with great credit. You'll learn the techniques he has personally used to escape credit card debt, "creatively finance" his wedding, car, and home purchases, and earn thousands in credit card "perks" every year.

Download or read book Starting Over written by Ramsey Press and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Starting Over is the product of consumer demand. Dave Ramsey's Debtor Education (DRDE) provides pre-discharge financial education to debtors filing Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy as mandated by the United States Trustee, delivered to its users by their attorneys. Many of those attorneys have asked that DRDE provide something to help discharged debtors avoid the pitfalls they'll face as they leave the Bankruptcy Court's jurisdiction and their lawyers' protection and return to the real world.Starting Over begins with the moving story of the Director of Dave Ramsey's Debtor Education. He has been through the trenches and has great empathy for those who have to start over, as he did himself. This chapter reinforces the credibility of those who are offering this advice.After that the chapters are divided into several sections designed to track the debtors' progress, beginning with the days after discharge. It begins with a "To-Do List" of issues that should be addressed right away--the sooner the better--listed in more or less chronological order. Some of these may seem obvious--secure your home, don't go into debt for anything, cut up credit cards, etc.--but in truth, many people who have no history of fiscal responsibility need elementary guidance and a dose of hope in their effort to change their behaviors.The next several chapters make up what is called the "Next Steps." These are matters which will take longer, and about which one may need to do some serious planning. This includes finding a career that really fits, setting short term and long term goals, working on the attitudes and behaviors that caused the bankruptcy, making sure you have the right insurance protection, to name a few.Finally there is a section entitled "Advice for Moving Forward." In addition to some real-life suggestions and examples from successful bankruptcy lawyers, this part deals with major decisions such as renting versus buying, what to do about an upside-down car or home, the arguments against cosigning, and--hopefully unnecessary--dealing with collectors and creditors.

Book excerpt: A credit score is much more than just a number. A low score means worse interest rates on new lines of credit and a reduced likelihood of qualifying for loans. It can even jeopardize chances of getting a job and finding a place to live in some cases. Many people believe that when their debts are too high, they have no chance of repairing their credit score. However, this doesn't have to be the case as long as the knowledge of quickly raising one's credit score is understood. Credit excellence can be achieved through options like standard credit counseling, debt settlement, credit repair, and even bankruptcy.

How to Get Credit after Filing Bankruptcy: The Complete Guide to Getting and Keeping Your Credit under Control provides the answers in a clear-cut, easy-to-read manner.
