The lecture, "Filing For Bankruptcy: A Fresh Start," explains the bankruptcy process from the initial filing to the final discharge of debts. Mr. Merritt will explain the differences between a Chapter 7 and a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, what to expect during the filing, as well as alternatives to bankruptcy.
Also included is a discussion of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). "The federal law protects consumers from abusive debt collectors and unfair credit reporting," says Mr. Merritt.
