These “New bankruptcy filings in August clearly show momentum in the market,” said Chris Kruse, Senior Vice President at Epiq Bankruptcy.  “Chapter 13 new filings continue the recent trend of month-over-month growth, and for the first time since March, we also see increases in new Chapter 7 filings in August. We expect this trend to continue as the U.S. exits the summer and marches toward the fourth quarter.”
