Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution provides that the Congress shall have power to establish uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcy throughout the United States. We believe that all other powers under this theory of law not specifically set forth in the Constitution are powers that are reserved to the people of the United States. The Bankruptcy Act of 1898 became the first version of permanent bankruptcy law. It provided a policy in favor of granting a discharge of debt (forgiveness of debt) to "honest but unfortunate debtors." This profound and compassionate public policy has never been changed.
In 2005, congress amended the bankruptcy laws after constant pressure from banks and credit companies. For consumers, The new laws mean that you will have to endure 2 credit counseling classes, and provide more documentation to prove your income, debts and expenses. But you CAN STILL RECEIVE RELIEF FROM YOUR DEBTS!
