Unlike previous years, consumer bankruptcy filings in December 2025 increased both month-over-month and year-over-year, according to the latest data from G2 Risk Solutions. Consumer bankruptcy filings increased 5.8% from November 2025 and nearly 21% over December 2024. A departure from historical norms, bankruptcy filings tend to see a decline in the months of November and December, as many choose to defer the stress and filing fees until after the holidays. The total number of consumer filings reached 44,890 in December.
Even though consumer bankruptcy filings have increased over the past five years, filings remain about 25% below pre-pandemic levels.
