According to data released by CreditCards.com on January 11, 2011, New England and Middle Atlantic states are experiencing a disproportionate number of bankruptcy cases.  In a comparison of 2010 and 2009 statistics, Maryland and New Jersey reported 14% increases, while Massachusetts showed 13% growth.

"These numbers demonstrate that there is still a great deal of uncertainty and with the economy sputtering along, lack of consumer confidence can cause increases in bankruptcy filings," said Beth Mason, InCharge's Director of Outreach Programs for Bankruptcy Services.  "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 or housing counseling assistance are encouraged to visit the InCharge booth at this event.  

InCharge Debt Solutions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, provides free credit counseling, bankruptcy and housing counseling services to consumers and servicemembers in need of financial literacy education, money management guidance, and help finding the right debt solution for their specific situation.  InCharge has introduced a new video series called "Sergeant Debt" that can be viewed on YouTube or InCharge's MilitaryMoney.com, a website devoted to helping servicemembers with debt issues through financial literacy education and online resources.
