Law Advisory Commission-Personal & Small Business Bankruptcy Law of the State Bar of California, 1996-2000 MR. BAYER SAYS: The big banks and credit card companys have been working overtime for many years to undermine the Constitutional right of the American people to be able to claim bankruptcy protection. In 2005 the banking lobby successfully convinced Congress and the President to make the laws and procedures more complicated, hoping that it will stymie legitimate people from filing bankruptcy. They succeeded in gaining these complex new legal procedures by greasing the legislative system with hundreds of millions of dollars in "campaign contributions." The good news for the American people is that while the new laws have made the procedures needlessly complex to the point where inexperienced people can't help but trip over the maze of new rules and regulations, the process is still doable, especially with a lawyer who is well trained and experienced in this specialty. |
