"The American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) numbers released October 4, 2011 showed a 10 percent decrease in personal bankruptcy filings during the first month of 2011 as compared to the same period a year ago," said Beth Mason, InCharge's Director of Outreach Programs for Bankruptcy Services.  "So, while year-over-year numbers are encouraging, there were still over one million consumer bankruptcies in the U.S. from January-October 2011 and we're not out of the woods yet."

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, or BAPCPA, requires debtors to complete both Pre-Filing Credit Counseling and Pre-Discharge Debtor Education courses, of which InCharge and its affiliates have provided over 750,000 since 2006.

Attorneys and anyone seeking a reliable and professional source for consumer bankruptcy courses are encouraged to visit the InCharge booth at this event.
