Current bankruptcy laws will soon be obsolete. The bankruptcy laws are changing. As of October 17, 2005, the existing laws will no longer be in effect and it will be very difficult to seek bankruptcy protection after that date. If you cannot afford an attorney to help you with your bankruptcy filing under the existing laws, Ufile Speedy offers a "do-it-yourself" online filing service, offering software that was original created exclusively for bankruptcy attorneys. With Ufile, you can elect to have an attorney or bankruptcy preparer review your work. Ufile states that, "You will receive the benefit of having a group of attorneys working on your bankruptcy, instead of just one attorney. The American Bankruptcy Counselors, Inc. (ABC) attorneys are experienced in using the Ufile Speedy™ software and provide a substantial discount to filers who use the Ufile Speedy™ software." Time is of the essence - Ufile will be stopping its services at the end of September or first week in October, 2005. [Back to the top]

Credit Repair. There are many companies touting credit repair services on the Internet. Some of them are legitimate, but others are a bit questionable, such as the businesses and people hawking e-books that purportedly tell you how you can wipe out all of your debt without filing bankruptcy. You might be surprised at how many negative items show up in your credit report that have nothing to do with you or your history. These and many more items can legally be removed from your credit report by licensed attorneys. The Lexington Law Firm has an excellent credit repair service, featuring a small retainer and a negligible monthly fee that you can cancel any time. We've used this firm because of some problems stemming from identity theft - their service is excellent and they offer state of the art Internet technology that gives you access to your case file 24/7. You can also call, tollfree, for immediate customer service: 1-800 458-3107. [Back to the top]
