These people had no other option than to use credit cards to pay their bills. Due to consistent bad economic situation, they could not pay back to their creditors. Creditors were not ready to give them leverage so they had only one option and thus many people filed petitions for bankruptcy.

The Government had to stop these people from filing bankruptcy so it made new policies regarding chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcies. Now, it is not very easy to apply for bankruptcy. Similarly, the government prohibited the settlement companies to take upfront fees. People were afraid of consulting these agents because most of them were illegal.
