The ABI conference focuses on new amendments for proofs of claim under the Federal rules of bankruptcy procedure and other current developments in litigation and has sessions for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy law.

"The number of personal bankruptcy filings actually fell by 12% in 2011 according to American Bankruptcy Institute data," said Beth Mason, InCharge's Director of Outreach Programs for Bankruptcy Services. "However, most experts believe that number will increase in 2012, and the need for dialogue, education and professional services will be more in demand that ever. InCharge is an active supporter of ABI events with these factors in mind."

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, or BAPCPA, requires debtors to complete both Pre-Filing Credit Counseling and Pre-Discharge Debtor Education courses. InCharge and its affiliates is an EOUST-approved provider, with clients completing over 800,000 with InCharge since the company initiated the educational offering in 2006.
