In 2005 US Congress dramatically overhauled to filing bankruptcy in West Virginia and across the nation a much more difficult task. They did this by instituting more hoops to jump through in order to file and by making it much harder to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which is the preferred type of debt elimination for most consumers. The “hoops” aspect of law refers to the fact that it is mandatory for consumers who want to file to have a 90 minute sessions with a credit counselor before bankruptcy, as well as take classes on finances and budgeting after filing. In terms of making it harder to qualify for Chapter 7, under the new bankruptcy law consumers who earn more than the median income in West Virginia are required to “pass” the means test in order to be eligible. If not, they will be required to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which involves reorganizing one’s debt into payment plan that can last up to five years. Listed below is the income statistics for West Virginia as of 2006: 2-person families: 38,505 3-person families: 49,043 4-person families: 55,920 5-person families: 51,425 6-person families: 64,074 7-or-more-person families: 36,749 Due to these changes in the bankruptcy law and tighter restrictions on lending, more consumers are turning to debt reduction solutions for help with credit cards.
