Download or read book Prebankruptcy Credit Counseling written by Noreen Clancy and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 provided new requirements for bankruptcy filers and gave the U.S. Trustee Program (USTP) new areas of responsibility. One new requirement is that any individual filer must have received credit counseling during the 180 days before filing. USTP must develop measures of credit-counseling agency effectiveness, then apply those criteria to decide whether to reapprove those agencies. Complicating the effectiveness issue is the increased use of Internet-based credit counseling and whether the mode of delivery influences the counseling's adequacy and effectiveness. USTP asked RAND for help in examining what constitutes effective prebankruptcy credit counseling and how to measure it. The authors concluded that USTP should first explicitly identify the goals of prebankruptcy credit counseling; that there are no common standards or accepted sets of metrics for USTP to adopt in whole; and that there are no accepted views on the various modes of delivery. They recommend that USTP use certain upcoming reports to inform the process of developing measures of effectiveness and approving or reapproving credit-counseling agencies; that it consider whether an agency up for reapproval is providing the services stated in its initial approval application, as well as any pre- and post-testing that the agency conducts; that it survey prebankruptcy credit counselors; that it choose a few measures of effectiveness; and that it take some debtor characteristics into account when measuring agency effectiveness.

Download or read book Chapter 13 Bankruptcy written by Cara O'Neill and published by Nolo. This book was released on 2024-06-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stop creditors and get more time to pay. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy stops creditors, lawsuits, wage garnishments, bank levies, and other collection actions immediately, giving you time to restructure your debts. Yes, you’ll pay into a three- or five-year repayment plan in Chapter 13. But your money will go toward the debts that matter most—like your mortgage, car loan, support obligations, and taxes. Remaining debts, such as credit card, medical, and utility bills, usually receive only a fraction of what you owe. Also, Chapter 13 offers unique debt solutions not available in Chapter 7, sometimes making Chapter 13 the better choice even for those who qualify for Chapter 7. For instance, only in Chapter 13 can filers do the following: keep all property avoid foreclosure and vehicle repossession pay the fair market value for a car, and in some cases, eliminate a junior mortgage loan. This plain-English Chapter 13 guide covers the Chapter 13 process from start to finish, explaining how to determine if you qualify for Chapter 13, what’s required to catch up on your mortgage and keep your home, and how to rebuild your credit after bankruptcy. You’ll also learn more about the following: how much you’ll pay in a repayment plan which debts get erased when the case ends, and how to find and hire the right lawyer The revised edition explains where to find legal updates, bankruptcy forms, and state-specific information.
