bankruptcy

I drive around town and see bankruptcy attorneys advertise "lose your debt, keep your stuff" I have a photo of this billboard ad from a local attorney.
What disturbs me is that all collection agencies get lumped into the scum of the earth bucket.
Yet most are attempting to collect on legit debts owed to creditors.
Its ok though for that consumer to go to Best Buy and rack up a new 65" LCD TV and a 7 channel surround sound system and comfy recliners and charge this to their Discover Card. Now we know all that will cost $5,000.00 and BB does not file a lien on any of it at the State level, but bank would if it were a used car and loan. So now mister innocent consumer (scammer) decides he has enough debt and 120 days later declares bankruptcy chapter 7 filed by the above scum advertising attorney. That attorney gets paid and can careless about mister consumer or the creditor. But because this is a revolving credit card amount no secured interest mister debtor actually absolves his Discover debt. And he gets to KEEP HIS STUFF because Best Buy already was paid by Discover so they lose out, but mister deadbeat wins and so does scum attorney for his fees. I think you need to look at both sides of the coin a little more closely. jay
