Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Statistics:

In 2010 there were a total of 1,139,601 Chapter 7 Bankruptcies and 438,913 Chapter 13 Bankruptcies filed in the U.S.  The total consumer Chapter 7 filings were 1,100,116., while the total consumer Chapter 13 filings were 434,739. In the Middle District of Florida there were a total of 47,730 Chapter 7, and 15, 967 Chapter 13 filings, by individuals. It appears that Florida’s middle district had the third highest non-business Chapter 7 filings in the nation, being topped by the Central District of California and the Northern District of Illinois, which had 105,094 and 49,017, respectively. Business Chapter 7 filings were 39,485 in 2010, along with 4,174 Chapter 13 filings nationwide. There were over 1 million home foreclosures in the nation during 2010, alarmingly close to the number of bankruptcies filed. This figure could have been much higher if it had not been for the home foreclosure robosigning scandal in the 4th quarter. Foreclosures are expected to be over 1.2 million, and bankruptcies are expected to reach 1.6 million in 2011.

    Don't let a foreclosure stop you from buying a new home. See Comstock if you have a buyer in need. They have a flexible credit loan. This program assists homeowners who have recently been through a foreclosure, short sale or have recently emerged from bankruptcy.NJ Attorney
