SPACE AVAILABLE AT FINAL BANKRUPTCY EDUCATIONAL FORUM PRIOR TO ENACTMENT - JULY 28TH IN LOS ANGELES

Most provisions of the New Bankruptcy Law go into effect on Oct 17, 2005, but some provisions went into effect when it was signed by President Bush on April 20, 2005.

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. Here they learned about the key components of the new bankruptcy law and the affects for Secured and Unsecured Creditors, and how it will impact procedures and results from a consumer creditor's point of view.

There is still room available at this well received conference, please join us in Los Angeles, CA July 28, 2005 for the last of these important, timely, and informative sessions.

For updated "Bankruptcy Educational Forums for Creditors" information, please visit our web site at: http://www.ResourceManagement.com/bkedforums regarding registration, agenda, locations, dates, and hotels.
