This book was written to fill the gap between the purely problem-driven and the wholly case-law approaches in the available teaching materials for bankruptcy. Material deals with both consumer and business bankruptcies and avoids an unremitting political or theoretical perspective. Coverage includes creditors’ rights and remedies, the first consequences of bankruptcy, unsecured claims in bankruptcy, secured claims in bankruptcy, avoiding powers, executory contracts and unexpired leases, discharge, and reorganization.

Editorial Review:

For many people, the word bankruptcy carries negative connotations. Yet, if you are one of the millions of Americans who is facing massive credit card debt, stagnant income, or sudden unemployment, bankruptcy may be the best answer to putting your finances on the road to repair.

Often viewed as a disaster, bankruptcy is, in fact, a rescuer. Unlike other books on this topic, which take a dry, mechanical approach, The Bankruptcy Solution helps you get past the shame around debt and make the law your ally when you are faced with financial hardships.

The Bankruptcy Solution shows you how you can: ·Prepare for filing bankruptcy
·Deal with collection agencies
·Understand which debts you should pay off first
·Repair your credit after bankruptcy
·Find the right attorney

You’ll also learn about the laws that can affect—and often help—you if you file for bankruptcy:

·Bankruptcy Reform Act
·Fair Credit Reporting Act
·Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

Written in an approachable style by expert bankruptcy attorney Peggy Palms, The Bankruptcy Solution gives sound advice on whether or not bankruptcy is the right choice for you—and helps you get through this stressful process with your head held high and your sanity intact.

This audio set covers those parts of the 2005 bankruptcy legislation (BAPCPA) that are covered in law school courses and on law school exams. The lectures cover both consumer and business bankruptcy. They explain the essential bankruptcy concepts and show how those concepts work together in consumer bankrupticies and business bankruptcies.

Handbook for Managers, not investors 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Although helpful and well written, the book appears more appropriate for executives or managers of operating companies that may be faced with bankruptcy prospects. A good overview of how the process unfolds, players, objectives, legal issues, and procedures is provided. Managers at a financially distressed operation typically carry a different toolbox of experience and skills, and therefore, this book would be well worth the introduction to the topic.

However, for investors this book is somewhat superficial and lacks the roll-up-your-sleeves education neccessary for investing. In most cases, senior management is sacked because creditors understandably have little confidence in those who may have mismanaged or were responsible for the business's failure in the first place. Thus, the audience that I presumed above may not be appropriate nor the majority of individuals who surface after a Plan.

For investors or external parties, I urge you to consider:
"Distressed Debt Analysis: Strategies for Speculative Investors" by Stephen G. Moyer. It is more expensive, but its a much better book on this topic. Moyer is a stronger writer and seems to be more experienced in the matter than G. Newton. Both books do not include the 2005 Bankruptcy Code reforms, so you may wish to brush up on that separately.

Editorial Review:

No company should proceed toward a possible bankruptcy claim without a thorough understanding of the implications of all the available options. Corporate Bankruptcy provides CEOs, CFOs, controllers, and treasurers, as well as financial advisors and other professionals involved with bankruptcy filing, the tools they need to succeed.
