History

Historical Context

The Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 significantly changed U.S. bankruptcy laws, making it harder for individuals to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This act raised filing fees to approximately $300 and imposed stricter eligibility requirements, impacting many, including those like Wendy Williams facing financial difficulties. The long-term effects of this reform continue to shape personal finance management and bankruptcy filings in the U.S.
