Recently, it has come to my attention the increase in my clients’ emotional exhaustion over losing their homes due to foreclosure. Unfortunately, for those facing foreclosure here in South Florida, President Obama’s “Mortgage Rescue” plan has not yet materialized. I have been able to help those facing foreclosure alleviate their stress by letting them stay in their homes for at least another year, allowing them to re-organize their lives. I also help those with the removal of mortgages in Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings.
Other bankruptcy trends I have noticed in my practice include an increase in the amount of senior citizens filing as a result of having to put their monthly prescriptions on credit cards. Many of these individuals are already on fixed financial budgets and Medicare/Medicaid coverage applies only after a certain amount is covered by the consumer. There has also been an increase in bankruptcy filings among college/graduate school educated individuals as a result of the 2005 law no longer discharging private student loans.
