Accclaimed Bankruptcy Attorney, Charles Daff, Gives Thoughts On Findings Of L.A. Households Facing Financial Trouble
“Bankruptcy is a last resort for most people, but necessary to obtain relief from debts and to obtain a fresh start."- Charles Daff
LOS ANGELES, CA, US, September 10, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A recent Los Angeles Times2 article showed that a majority of Los Angeles households face serious financial problems due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Latinos and Black residents bearing the brunt of the economic toll, according to a new poll conducted in the nation’s four largest cities. The poll found that some 56% of households polled in the city of L.A. reported having such financial problems, including 64% of households with annual incomes below $100,000. The study found similar results among Black and Latino respondents in New York, Houston, and Chicago, the three other cities examined. Acclaimed Bankruptcy Attorney and recent winner of the Best of Los Angeles Award - "Best Bankruptcy Attorney - 2020", Charles Daff1, gives his thoughts on the findings below.
As a specialist in Personal and Small Business Bankruptcy Law, Charles Daff states, “These populations are faced with the daily necessity to pay for rent, utilities, and food at a minimum. The lockdown in Los Angeles since March 2020 and the government efforts to support the population with the $1200 CARE payment and increase in unemployment benefits fall short to meet all of the basic needs for everyone.”
The survey offers further proof that the heaviest effect of the outbreak has fallen on Black and Latino households, with 52% and 71%, respectively, of those groups polled in Los Angeles reporting “serious financial problems,” compared with 37% of white households. Charles Daff continues by stating, “While this money meets some requirements to sustain a household, it does not provide payment for medical needs or payment for consumer credit card debts and auto payments. Eventually, the consumers in the Black and Latino groups will be forced to seek another remedy because of their loss of income.
Daff highlights that the most common contributing factor to file bankruptcy is a loss of income and what possible future outcomes may result from these decisions. He concludes by stating, “Bankruptcy is a last resort for most people, but necessary to obtain relief from debts and to obtain a fresh start. These upcoming months for consumers passing through the pandemic and coming into their own economic recovery may result in the increase in filing of bankruptcy cases. In some quarters, it is described as a coming "tsunami."
