BAPCPA Man meets Subprimulus!

With permission from Bankruptcy Bill himself, here’s BAPCPA Man #3 where BAPCPA Man meets the ominous-looking villain Subprimulus.

The cartoon touches on a number of important themes, including:

The mandatory pre-bankruptcy credit counseling requirement (addressed in previous post on this blog titled “What You Should Know About the Credit Counseling Requirement.”)
The credit industry’s attempt to mislead the country into believing that abuse of our bankruptcy laws was a major problem (which it wasn’t) rather than acknowledging the reality: that bankruptcy is a necessary social safety net used by regular Americans who face financial circumstances beyond their control, such as medical bills, divorce, unemployment and recession. (See previous post on this blog titled “Bankruptcy, Social Safety Nets and Planning Ahead.”)
Subprime loan companies, who helped get us into this economic mess to begin with, and loan modification companies who scam desperate homeowners and help keep us in this mess. (See previous post titled “Subprime Loan Modification Companies.”)

The cartoon also shows the correct first step an average person should take when facing serious financial difficulties, which is to meet with an experienced bankruptcy attorney for a free initial consultation, ask all the questions you need to ask and learn all of your options.

Beware Grace Periods, Debtors

February 7, 2022

Too often, debtors see grace periods offered by lenders as free benefits. “Grace” makes it sound so innocent.

Bankruptcy May Not Rescue You From Vicious Personal Disputes

January 21, 2022

Bankruptcy is a technical process that assumes everyone working within it is mostly rational. To the extent that it expects parties to deviate from irrational behavior, the Bankruptcy Code and its accompanying rules include incentives to keep parties in line. Creditors are usually large and impersonal, and they rarely care if their debtors file bankruptcy.

Do you have financial problems? Do you tend to ask your friends for advice? Is one of your friends an experienced New York bankruptcy lawyer who will explain the process for you?

Social Security Number Not Necessary for Bankruptcy

December 2, 2021

A question that’s commonly asked about New York bankruptcy is whether a debtor needs a Social Security number to file.

The new bankruptcy

How Can a Debtor (or Creditor) Get a New Trustee?

November 19, 2021

The trustee in a New York bankruptcy case is usually not the debtor’s ally.
