In San Francisco at the first annual conference of the American Association of Credit Counselors, Morris Rabinowitch and colleagues warned that more than one third of American families are over extended financially and debt totals may be far higher than official figures. They cited 41,000 California bankruptcies last year, blamed auto and personal loans, and urged financial education for consumers and merchants to restore a healthier credit culture.
