Posted on June 13, 2024by Admin

Bankruptcy filings rose 16 percent during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024.

Factors contributing to the increase include higher interest rates, a reduction in consumer discretionary spending, higher housing costs, and a continued drawdown of excess savings. The trend is expected to continue through 2024.

According to statistics released by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, total filings rose to 467,774 new cases, compared with 403,273 cases reported during the year ending March 31, 2023.

Business filings increased 40.4 percent, from 14,467 in March 2023 to 20,316 in the newest report. Non-business filings rose 15.1 percent, from 388,806 in March 2023 to 447,458 in March 2024.

This year’s 12-month filing total for the quarter ending March 31 is nearly three-fifths of the total reported in March 2020, when the pandemic disrupted the U.S. economy. That year’s 12-month total was 764,282.
