Note: Repayment rates from the 1997 Visa national bankruptcy database were calculated on the basis of: petitioners' reported income; a combination of petitioners' reported expenses and IRS allowances as proposed under H.R. 3150; and priority and secured debt payments. See assumptions in text, and repayment methodology described in Appendix 3.

1Chapter 7 filers are impacted by H.R. 3150's needs-based bankruptcy provision if they have: income > 75 percent of national median income for families of comparable size; monthly income after allowed IRS expenses and secured & priority debt payments > $50; and can repay at least 20 percent of their unsecured non-priority debt over 60 months after making secured and priority debt payments. The 1996 national median income data by family size were obtained from the U.S. Bureau of the Census (1997).

2Repayment of secured debt is shown over 60 months. For housing debt, repayment is taken as stated by the petitioner unless the outstanding balance would have been paid off in less than 60 months. All other non-housing secured and priority debt is amortized over 60 months. In practice, petitioners may continue to repay outstanding secured debts beyond the 60 month repayment plan, which would increase the share of secured and total debt repaid.

1Chapter 7 filers would be impacted by H.R. 3150's needs-based bankruptcy provision if they have income > 75 percent of national median income for families of comparable size, net monthly income > $50, and can repay at least 20 percent of their unsecured non-priority debt over 60 months after making secured and priority debt payments and deducting living expenses. 1996 national median income data by family size obtained from the U.S. Bureau of the Census (1997).

2Repayment of secured debt is shown over 60 months. For housing debt, repayment is taken, as stated, by the petitioner unless the outstanding balance would have been paid off in less than 60 months. All other non-housing secured and priority debt is amortized over 60 months. In practice, petitioners may continue to repay outstanding secured debts beyond the 60 month repayment plan, which would increase the share of secured and total debt repaid.

















TABLE 5


Table 5. Main Consumer Bankruptcy Provisions of H.R. 3150
Section Element Explanation
101 Needs-based bankruptcy Shifts Chapter 7 filers with significant ability to repay into Chapter 13. Also decreases total filings as those looking to completely discharge debt may choose not to file.
103 Broaden rights so that creditors may move to dismiss a Chapter 7 case for inappropriate use Currently only court and U.S. Trustee can request dismissal.
111 Financial education before filing Requires that filers be given alternatives to bankruptcy and the opportunity to take part in educational programs on budgeting.
112 Financial education during bankruptcy Requires Executive Office of U.S. Trustees to develop a financial management training curriculum for debtors. In testing the curriculum, certain bankruptcy courts may require debtors to receive training before receiving a debt discharge.
115 Debtor's Bill of Rights Debt Relief Counseling Agencies are prohibited from advising consumers to incur more debt in contemplation of bankruptcy.
121 Discourage bad faith repeat filings Automatic stay terminates 30 days after filing if the same debtor filed a bankruptcy case which was dismissed in the previous year.
127 Stop abusive conversions from Chapter 13 When a debtor converts from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7, the “cram down” is not retained (except for redemption under Code section 722).
128 Restraining abusive purchases on secured credit Value of personal property collateral acquired within 180 days of filing is at least equal to the outstanding balance of the purchase price.
141 Nondischargeable debts Debts incurred to pay nondischargeable debts are nondischargeable.
142 Nondischargeable debts Consumer debts incurred within 90 days of filing are presumed nondischargeable.
143 Nondischargeable debts Fraudulent debts are nondischargeable in Chapter 13 cases.
145 Nondischargeable debts Debts incurred where the debtor had no reasonable expectation or ability to repay are nondischargeable.
171 Increase period between bankruptcy discharges Time between discharges would increase to 10 years for Chapter 7 cases and 5 years for Chapter 13 cases.
404 Random audits Attorney General has responsibility for establishing random audits to ensure the accuracy and completeness of filing information.
407 Additional information Debtor must provide information about income and expenses such as tax returns for 3 years and current pay stubs.
408 Timely information required Cases where the debtor does not file required information within 45 days of petition filing are automatically dismissed.
410 Chapter 13 repayment term Allows confirmation of Chapter 13 plans of at least 5 years if debtor has income over 75 percent of national median.
443 Improved bankruptcy data By creating a national database of bankruptcy filers, abusive repeat filers can be more easily detected.

7On average, in the San Jose trusteeship in approximately 400 cases per month the debtors cannot make plan payments due to a variety of unexpected circumstances e.g., job loss, car repair, uninsured medical expense. For this report, it is assumed that a similar number of cases per month would require a statement of extraordinary circumstances. Please note this number does not include cases where income has increased or expenses decreased.

Review of statements (not performed annually, only at time of filing)
Includes analysis of projected monthly net income, IRS excess expenses, anticipated income or expenditure increase. Part of the review of these statements duplicates, to some degree, the analysis performed under Duty #2, therefore no additional analysis time has been allocated for review of the projected monthly net income statement or the statement of extraordinary Circumstances. Analysis time has been allocated for the statement disclosing anticipated income and expense increases.
Tax return (annual)
Includes review of annual post petition tax returns including time to obtain a copy of return from the United States Trustee.
Review of income and expenditure statement (annual)
Includes analysis of statement and comparison to other income and expense information received by the Chapter 13 trustee. Includes time to obtain copy from court. Includes pay stub review. Excludes time to enforce compliance if statement not filed.

1 4 See footnote 3 for an explanation of this figure.

1 5 No time/cost estimate is given due to difficulty in estimating the number of cases in which the debtor and creditor will not agree on the amount remaining owed on the secured debt. Resolution of this type of discrepancy will likely involve a request by the Chapter 13 trustee for judicial determination of the correct amount owed.

The salary for the paralegal position was calculated as follows: $20.00/hr ÿ0A 2080 hrs = $41,600/yr gross wages. Taxes and benefits = $8,504.58. $41,600 + $8,504.58 = $50,104.58 total employee expense.
