When the housing market crashed, financial security fell aside for many people. Not only did people see a severe decrease in the value of their homes, but they lost their jobs and soon found themselves with no where to turn. Bankruptcy, became quite popular as a tool to release people from payments on unsecured debts making it possible to use the income they were earning towards car payments, and household items. Bankruptcy continues to assist Americans in gaining control over their finances, reduce debts or eliminate debts, restructure missed mortgage payments and sometimes lower other payments on secured debts such as cars and furniture.
