Bankruptcy filings fall to newest lows

I am one of the many people who believed the new bankruptcy law to be flawed and honestly thought that it was only a matter of time before things took a turn for the worse. Turns out, I was wrong — at least, that’s what is apparent from these latest statistics. According to reports, U.S. bankruptcy filings have fallen to the lowest level in five years.

    So, the law seems to be a good one. However, I think that the government should reconsider it and make it better. There should be a balance in this kind of law to insure the interest of every party.
