THIS IS NOT THE BANKRUPTCY LAW MOST CREDITORS WANTED
Are you sure you know what is in the new law? Most of the attendees at our first two forums found many aspects they didn't know.

Executives and Operations leaders from a diverse group of Creditors, Agencies and Attorney firms attended the second of three Bankruptcy Educational Forums for Creditors at the Renaissance Philadelphia Hotel on June 22, 2005, presented by Resource Management Services, Inc. Central to the forum was the morning general session with Henry E. Hildebrand, Standing Trustee for Chapter 13 matters in the Middle District of Tennessee, and Richardo Kilpatrick, President of Kilpatrick & Associates, P.C. detailing the changes to chapter 7 and chapter 13 Bankruptcy Law as a result of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. The afternoon breakout sessions explored the operational strategies for creditors, with Hilary Bonial, Chief Bankruptcy Counsel and Director of Bankruptcy Quality Assurance with Brice, Vander Linden & Wernick, P.C. addressing strategies for the Secured Creditors; and a review of strategies for the Unsecured Creditors lead by Alane Becket, Managing Partner of Becket & Lee, LLP, and Frank Cuoco, Senior Attorney and Director of Weinstein & Reily, P.S.
