After Bankruptcy Reform, Consumers Are Now Learning How To
Discharge Debt
Thanks to the new bankruptcy reform laws, many Americans who are
overburdened by their credit card debt will no longer qualify
for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. However, consumers need to
know that an alternative exists for people to walk away from
100% of that debt, without bankruptcy, consolidation, or
refinancing. The program is applicable to all major credit
cards, unsecured lines-of-credit, and signature loans.
The process that is used to discharge debt is based off of U.S.
Supreme Courts decisions, Title 15 United State Code (USC)
section 1692, the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, section
1601, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Uniform Commercial Code
(UCC), section 203, and numerous Banking and Lending laws.
There are many cases that have already been decided on when it
comes to the issues of money, credit, and banking. The
collection of interest on credit issued by a bank or a credit
card company is in direct violation of all usury laws. In
addition, the United States Supreme Court has ruled time and
again against the legal authority for banking institutions to
lend credit. Both Federal and state laws allow banks to lend
money, but banks do not have the authority to loan credit.
Even with the reform, some bankruptcy protection is still in
place. However, consumers must obtain credit counseling from an
approved agency within six months prior to filing for
bankruptcy. Also, the consumer may still be required to repay
most of their debt. In addition, being enrolled in credit
counseling will show up as a negative on a consumer's credit
report, as damaging to credit as a bankruptcy.
A large percentage of people with debt trouble were not
irresponsible with their credit cards, but have had some type of
crisis in their lives. This program is giving people a fresh
start on their financial lives. A 'do-over' you might call it.
Without the credit-sting or shame of bankruptcy. Let's face it,
for people who are carrying $20K, $40K, $80K, or more of credit
card debt, unless they win the lottery, they are never going to
pay it off. The time-tested legal procedures used to eliminate
credit card debt have been used by thousands of people with
tremendous success. It is truly the alternative to bankruptcy,
credit counseling, and debt consolidation. For more information,
