Was remembering my Ben Franklin recently and some gems came to mind in these difficult times.  In his "Poor Richard's Almanac" as well as "The Way to Wealth" Ben has some wisdom to share that we all need to remember:

"Industry Pays Debts while Despair Increaseth Them"

"Diligence is the Mother of Good Luck and God Gives all things to Industry"

"One Today is Worth Two Tomorrows"

Great reminder from a great attorney and fellow NACBA member that how you look at your situation and the words you speak have power in your life. Let your words echo your attitude and have faith and hope and look at Bankruptcy as a new beginning.

The Court System’s Latest Headache: Debt-Collection Suits - Law Blog WSJ:http://bit.ly/bOe1E1 

As Pete Barry said at NACBA in San Francisco in May, Debt Collectors in a recession are like dogs you don't feed...they start chewing on the furniture.  Who's the furniture?  Consumers!  My Clients!  Due to the increased number of debt buyers, the lawsuits are now coming in greater numbers, putting even more pressure on cash strapped consumers trying their best to keep current.

As Dick Rubin states in this article (a longtime expert just like Pete Barry from Minnesota), it is a factory approach to practicing law.  Note the NY firm mentioned files 80,000 lawsuits a year!

So what does this mean?  It means that if you are behind on debts and can't catch up, a debt collector lawsuit is more likely than ever.  With more debt collectors suing first and asking questions later, get PROACTIVE!  Explore your options and speak with an experienced Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney.
