Ethical Consideration
Ethical Consideration of Creditors’ Rights and Bankruptcy
In 1898, the U.S. Congress first enacted federal bankruptcy legislation. The intent was to grant legal protections through the courts for debtors who find themselves in overwhelming financial circumstances in which they cannot recover. Bankruptcy grants these debtors the right to a fresh start. In many cases, bankruptcy erases all debt. The recent Congress of 2005 enacted the Bankruptcy Reform Act and today’s society functions with the laws of the Bankruptcy Code. These modern laws attempt to protect both the debtor and the creditor. The Bankruptcy Code lays out all ethical considerations and this paper illustrates some of basics of the law.
As described by Miller, (2014), there are main goals for bankruptcy. One goal is designed
to protect the debtor by eliminating what is owed to creditors and granting the debtor a clean start without overwhelming financial burden. The other goal, which is designed to protect the creditor means to ensure that all creditors have the fair chance of being awarded the debtor’s assets. Congress attempts to seek an equal balance in bankruptcy so the outcome is a win for both the debtor and the creditor. The last enactment of the bankruptcy laws in 2005 swayed more
towards protecting the rights of the creditors. This change made filing bankruptcy slightly more difficult for debtors as the common belief at the time was that debtors evaded all responsibility of
debt and the creditors suffered all the consequences. The 2005 enactment made the debtors take on a least a portion of the debt if he or she was able to pay the debt. There are different chapters of bankruptcy that debtors are allowed to file. Chapter 7 is the most common filing and generally produces the best outcome for the debtor. Chapter 7 essentially liquidates all debt, whether secured or unsecured. Debtors must passed the means test as a prerequisite of being granted Chapter 7. Essentially, the means test weeds out those from an upper income that can afford to pay most or all of their debt. Chapter 7 is form common people.
