The present day consumer seems to be in a debt crisis. Excessive borrowing and highly leveraged way of living have created a financial black hole where further funding is needed to keep the wheel turning. This is not limited to the US alone. The developed economies in the Western hemisphere share this common phenomenon. In an attempt to bridge the gap, more and more sophisticated financing options have poured into the market offering competitive but debt based solutions fueling the spiraling crisis of insolvency.
At some point, the financing imbalance and the inherent risks were too much for even the strongest economy to stand, and a permanent solution was required. Filing for Bankruptcy emerged as the ultimate solution and the financiers were eventually left out with mortgaged assets and property which they could not sell due to falling prices. Housing market collapsed as a result and the property prices plummeted to a historic low.
To reverse the gloomy outlook of the economy, legitimate debt settlement companies emerged from nowhere and the new industry soon gained momentum. In addition, State sponsored debt negotiation programs were set up to heal the disturbed relationships between the financiers and the consumers. The purpose was to set up a process for settlement of outstanding even if a portion of the debt will need to be wiped out through discounts. These settlement Companies overtook portfolios of distressed debts which ran into billions of dollars.
However, to those consumers who are squeezed by the debt burden and do not have a breathing space, filing for Bankruptcy under either Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code seem to be the only way of exit. The reforms done to the Code in 2005 have laid down certain guidelines and sets out the eligibility criteria for the Bankruptcy protection. For instance, consumer needs to show cause as to why he cannot file Bankruptcy under Chapter13 before he will be allowed to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The purpose is to prevent the consumers from abusing the provisions of the Code in order to evade their debts. Therefore, the debtors need to evaluate their position against the options available and the requirements laid down by the law before pursuing any options. If the consumer has some form of free cash flow and is in a position to service the debt in some way, he needs to file for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. If he is unable to meet any of the payments, relief can be sought under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Debt settlement is a legitimate alternative to filing bankruptcy. Finding legitimate debt settlement companies is not that difficult but consumers must know where to look.
