Navigate the maze of bankruptcy.
The concept of bankruptcy is one which predates even the founding of our country. The notion of getting relief from one’s debts can be traced back to English common law; however, the first codification of it under U.S. law can be seen in our Constitution. Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution grants to Congress the power to establish “uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States." Since then Congress has had numerous iteration of bankruptcy law, going through numerous reforms, all seeking to strike a balance between the interests of debtors and creditors. This white paper reviews key terms and concepts in bankruptcy, and discusses the automatic stay and its impact on collection efforts.
