InCharge Education Foundation to Exhibit at Plymouth, Michigan Bankruptcy Seminar

Nonprofit bankruptcy services showcased at 2nd Annual Consumer Bankruptcy Institute, April 1, 2011

ORLANDO, Fla., March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- InCharge Education Foundation ("InCharge"), one of the nation's leading nonprofit organizations devoted to personal financial literacy, will be showcasing its Pre-Filing Credit Counseling, Pre-Discharge Debtor Education courses and its services to consumer bankruptcy attorneys at the 2nd Annual Consumer Bankruptcy Institute in Plymouth, Michigan, April 1, 2011.  InCharge is also one of the event sponsors.

According to the Associated Press (AP), "Lower unemployment and bankruptcies helped reduce the nation's economic stress in January compared with a year earlier.  Still the figures show the economy has yet to regain full health."  The AP calculates a "stress score" from 1-100 based on a combination of unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy rates.  While Nevada ranked first, "the next-most-stressed states in January [2011] were California (16.72), Florida (16.36), Arizona (15.27) and Michigan (14.86). Michigan returned to the list after being displaced by Georgia in December."

"Certainly, many states are still facing economic struggles and bankruptcies are very much a reality for many consumers," 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 provided 330,000 during 2010 alone."

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