Boca Raton, Fla. August 17, 2005, Peachtree Settlement Funding will exhibit in New York City at the National Association of
Bankruptcy Trustees annual 5-day convention August 17 through August 21.
As the new Bankruptcy Reform Act becomes law in October, it will become more difficult and expensive for debtors to file for
bankruptcy. Peachtree has been developing a bankruptcy strategy aimed at helping debtors, who own a structured settlement or
annuity, avoid filing bankruptcy. More importantly, Peachtree can assist Bankruptcy Trustees, who are responsible for
liquidating all assets in a bankruptcy file, by converting structured settlements or annuities into cash for the bankruptcy
estate.
Peachtree is one of the nation's largest specialty-factoring companies that purchase structured settlements and self-owned
annuities.
Deborah Benaim, Peachtree Vice President and Director of the Structured Settlements division commented, "we are always
looking for innovative ways to expand our services, the NABT convention is an ideal way for us to introduce our services to
the bankruptcy trustees".
Background
Congress recently passed sweeping changes to the Bankruptcy Code, designed to restrict the availability of a discharge in
Chapter 7 bankruptcy and substantially reduce the relief available in Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The new bankruptcy law is
designed to make filing for bankruptcy more difficult and expensive.
