Part of the Republican-Bush Presidential platform of 2000 was to put new legislation through congress making it almost impossible for ordinary, garden variety citizens to get relief from creditors by filing bankruptcy. This is especially true as it applies to Credit Card Companies for whom the legislation was aimed The legal profession opposed this legislation, along with most ordinary citizens. Of course, the credit card companies strongly supported this legislation, as it was written to favor their protection by weakening the previous bankruptcy protections afforded to ordinary citizens.
It's ironic this legislation came back to bit you, as you help bring this legislation into existence by supporting the Republican - Bush platform of 2000. I wish I could help. Perhaps with the election of Senator Obama as president, and a stronger majority of Democrats in congress, something will be done about the outlandish shenanigans going on in the credit markets of this country, especially in home mortgages and credit card practices.
