Recent Changes in Bankruptcy Law

As of December 2011, there have been some significant changes in the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (FRBP). The main change impacts filing a proof of claim. This affects claims that creditors make against individual debtors. In the past, creditors simply had to attach a writing to support their claim. Now under these new amendments, proof of claims must include more detailed information such as an itemized statement. If a creditor fails to provide proper proof of claim, he or she can face sanctions.

Changes that are not as recent but are of greater impact to individuals filing for bankruptcy happened in 2005. A huge overhaul of the Bankruptcy Code created stricter guidelines and eligibility requirements for those seeking Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The advantage of Chapter 7 is that unsecured debt can be discharged, but the tighter eligibility guidelines have caused more people to look to Chapter 13 bankruptcy as an alternative. We can examine your specific financial situation and determine whether these changes impact your eligibility for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or if Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the better fit.
