Summary
There is no typical bankruptcy - so many different circumstances, so many different patterns of behaviour are at work that it is impossible to characterize any one as "typical." This study provides a detailed demographic sketch of individuals in bankruptcy with comparisons, where possible, to those of 20 years ago, the general population and Americans who have filed for bankruptcy protection. The study also examines the macro-economic dimensions of bankruptcy, investigating the relationships between bankruptcies and indebtedness, and compares individuals who have opted for credit counselling over bankruptcy.
