Wall Street’s Race to the Bottom – Elizabeth Warren

From Professor Elizabeth Warren, Harvard Law School, on the current crisis and Wall Street:

“Banking is based on trust. The banks get our paychecks and hold our savings; they know where we spend our money and they keep it private. If we don’t trust them, the whole system breaks down. Yet for years, Wall Street CEOs have thrown away customer trust like so much worthless trash.”

What is Bankruptcy Credit Counseling?

A good blog post from Oregon Bankruptcy Attorney Kent Anderson.

The credit counseling required under the bankruptcy code is a mystery to most folks, and this post helps explain why it is required and writer’s opinion that it does no good, and is harmful to the process.

Built on Plastic – Wall Street Journal

Oh no, here we go again !  I thought we had seen the end of folks using credit card accounts to finance and keep afloat small businesses.

Apparently not.  The Wall Street Journal’s Rob Johnson, in his “The Money Game” column, reports on a resurgence in this practice.

I have seen a lot of this over the past 20 years of practicing bankruptcy law, but I thought with the recent downturn in the economy, we might have seen the decline of this practice.

If you have a small business and think you may need to discuss bankruptcy, please feel free to contact the office of John Rogers, Attorney at Law to explore your options.
