South Carolina Bankruptcy Filings Rise 18 Percent
The Charleston AP report notes SC bankruptcy filings climbed about 18 percent last year due to weak real estate and mortgage markets. Nearly 7,200 filings occurred, up around 2,000 from 2006, but about half of 2008 levels after law changes. Medical costs, divorces and job loss were common reasons.
