Bankruptcy legislation: Wage Earner Plan
Not what you're looking for?
Jon Morgan is in a financial position where owes more than he earns each month. Due to his lack of financial planning and heavy debt load, Jon started missing payments and saw his credit rating plunge. Unless corrective action is taken, personal bankruptcy will follow.
Jon recently contacted his lawyer so as to set up a wage earner plan with his creditors and establish a debt repayment schedule that is workable in light of his personal income.
