| A Review of Franklin Debt Relief in Chicago, Illinois |
| BBB members: It appears that Franklin Debt Relief was accredited by the BBB until the BBB instituted its policy of no longer allowing debt settlement companies to be members. This policy was created largely in response to the volume of complaints being lodged against certain companies in the debt settlement industry, not due to the actions of Franklin Debt Relief it appears since they have not had a complaint in over a year despite servicing more than a thousand consumers according to a recent press release. From PayingPaul.com’s research, Franklin Debt Relief seems to satisfy a very high rate of its clients. |

On October 17, 2005 Congress implemented the new legislation colloquially referred to as the “new bankruptcy law”. Under this law, filing for bankruptcy protection through Chapter 7 became much more difficult for people in Colorado and across the nation. Under the new provisions, in order to declare, one must first take a 90 minute required credit counseling session to see if other bankruptcy alternatives exist that can help. If not and one hopes to file Chapter 7, he or she must first compare their income with the median income of the state. If they fall below it, they can proceed with filing Chapter 7. If not, however, they will have to pass the bankruptcy means test in order to be eligible. To gauge whether you will be eligible you should always consult with a bankruptcy attorney, but to get a rough idea, here are the median income statistics for Colorado: 2-person families: 60,577 3-person families: 64,883 4-person families: 75,775 5-person families: 66,558 6-person families: 64,703 7-or-more-person families: 62,354 Considering how much damage having a bankruptcy on your credit report can be, it rarely makes sense to declare, but it makes even less sense if you are going to forced to pay the debt off through Chapter 13 while taking the same credit hit. Because of these changes many people in Colorado have begun turning to debt management options like consumer credit counseling or debt settlement. Both are great choices for people who are overextended, but are not knocked out and are committed to getting out of debt. To get matched with a debt service simply fill out a form today!

When it was all said and done, 32,629 less people claimed Chapter 7 & 13 bankruptcy in 2006 than in 2005, which adds up to a 77.3% decrease. Much to the dismay of overextended consumers, people in need of legitimate relief are being forced into Chapter 13 reorganization bankruptcy plans, where their disposable income is turned over the courts for up to five years. As a result of these tough changes more consumers in Colorado are turning to debt negotiation and consumer credit counseling agencies for help. |
