| 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. |

With personal and consumer bankruptcy filings at an all time high in 2004, Congress decided to take action to reduce the total number of Americans (including New Mexico) seeking it as an option for debt assistance. The changes to the bankruptcy law aimed at achieving two objectives: 1) make the actual process of filing more difficult - they did this by making consumers take mandatory credit counseling sessions 90 days prior to declaring and higher filing fees, and 2) forcing more consumers into the less attractive chapter of bankruptcy, which is Chapter 13. Since this bankruptcy type involves a much more arduous path and paying back at least a portion of what you owe, the logic was that less people would want to file, which has been completely validated by all the recent statistics. They did this by requiring debtors who earn more than the median income in their state to pass the Chapter 7 means test in order to qualify for that type of bankruptcy. The "means test" is nothing more than a set of questions about your income and expenses used to establish whether you could afford pay back a decent portion of your debt. Detailed in this section are the median income figures for New Mexico in 2006: 2-person families: 47,517 3-person families: 47,508 4-person families: 52,034 5-person families: 48,382 6-person families: 45,320 7-or-more-person families: 43,682 Due to the devastating credit effects of bankruptcy and the headaches involved in actually being able to declare, more people in New Mexico are turning to credit card consolidation programs instead.

Bankruptcy Figures For New Mexico 2004: 8,793 2005: 11,592 2006: 2,426 New Mexico witnessed a 9,166 fall in the amount of bankruptcy cases filed in 2006 versus 2005. In all that accounts to a 79% decrease from the previous year. Clearly the purpose of bankruptcy reform---to truly make bankruptcy a "last resort"-achieved its goal here, as well as in just about every other state. With economic struggles still persistent throughout New Mexico and the rest of the country, however, where are people with financial problems turning? Fortunately, the implementation of bankruptcy reform was coupled with the rise of consumer debt help agencies, who work to restructure your debts into one affordable monthly payment.
