Should Bankruptcy Be Part of Your 2023 Post-COVID-19-Forbearance Financial Plan?Consumer bankruptcy filing reached a 34-year low in 2020. It remained low in 2021 and 2022 because forbearance and stimulus programs prevented regular collection efforts, like wage garnishment and foreclosure, which usually prompt people to recognize how dire their situation is — prompting them to file.
