Bankruptcy reform reform viewed as rip-off in Washington Report
The 1978 consumer bankruptcy reform is criticized as unbalanced. Filings rose from about 2 per 1,000 households in 1978 to 5.5 in 1981. Chapter 7 allows discharge of unsecured debts while ignoring future income, harming lenders and consumers through higher prices and tighter credit. Congress should reform the reforms.
