- W3122360147 abstract "Several critical features of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 form the core of its Chapter 7 consumer bankruptcy reform: pre-petition credit counseling, pre-discharge instruction in personal financial management, means testing, documentation requirements, and regulation of consumer bankruptcy attorneys. In Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL, an onboard computer on a mission to Jupiter, assumes control over a mission it deems out of control. Likewise, Congress intends these features of consumer bankruptcy reform to assume control over a system that it perceives to have been too strongly influenced by consumer bankruptcy attorneys and too unpredictably piloted by some bankruptcy judges. Except for means testing, which has been the primary political flashpoint in the seven-year debate preceding enactment, these features have not received much scholarly attention. This article considers each of these core features of consumer bankruptcy reform. It explores possible justifications for pre-petition credit counseling and pre-discharge instruction in personal financial management and attempts to map the routes these activities are likely to follow and the potholes they are likely to encounter. Means testing will affect a small number of consumer bankruptcy debtors, although it will burden all with needless additional documentation. It will evoke new forms of creative pre-petition planning and shift the locus of, not eliminate, the judicial discretion that it was designed to displace. Regulation of consumer bankruptcy attorneys, debt relief agencies in the parlance of the Act, may not be quite as onerous, or affect the cost or availability of consumer bankruptcy representation as much as some have predicted. Restrictions on advice giving and advertising, however, will invite First Amendment challenge." @default.
