Bankers Testify on Bankruptcies
E ARE experiencing a new
V V type of bankrupt," Walter
W . Vaughan, chairman of the
American Bankers Association’s
Task Force on Bankruptcy told the
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on
Courts, last week during hearings on
the Bankruptcy A ct of 1978.
“ We are seeing more double income
families with high five or even six
figure incomes who declare bank­
ruptcy to rid themselves of debts that
cramp their lifestyle or who are
unwilling to live within their means.
The debtors choose bankruptcy to
relieve themselves of the pressure of
over-extension,” said Mr. Vaughan,
senior vice president of the American
Security Bank in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Vaughan was accompanied at the
hearings by Thomas Small, vice
president and counsel for First Union
Bank in Raleigh, N.C.
Mr. Vaughan pointed to a 75%
increase in consumer bankruptcy
filings in the first year under the new
bankruptcy law, Mr. Vaughan
added.
“ Individuals may seek the relief
offered by Chapter 7 without any
showing of need for that relief,” Mr.
Vaughan said. Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code provides for
liquidation of a debtor’s eligible
assets and distribution of the
proceeds to creditors.
“ The Association believes that
access to Chapter 7 of the code should

be limited to those individuals who
have a need for the relief offered by
that chapter,” he stated.
“ A key area of abuse occurs in
Chapter 13 where debtors are able to
have plans confirmed that offer only
minimal or insignificant payments to
unsecured creditors. Many Chapter
13 debtors have been able to retain all
their assets and extend payments on
their secured obligations without
making any meaningful payment to
unsecured creditors,” Mr. Vaughan
asserted.
Chapter 13 provides
for a
court-approved repayment plan for
individuals without liquidation of
assets.
“ The Association urges the Senate
to adopt a ‘best efforts’ test for
Chapter 13. It can be anticipated that
creditors would receive meaningful
payments on unsecured obligations

as a result,” Mr. Vaughan said.
Mr. Vaughan also urged that the
Bankruptcy Code be amended so that
debts which are nondischargeable
under Chapter 7 would also be
nondischargeable under Chapter 13.
Such debts include those incurred by
fraud, embezzlement, false pretenses
or willful and malicious injury.
“ Unless these problems can be
adequately dealt with, consumer
credit will become more costly and
less available. Those individuals who
abuse the bankruptcy process impose
a cost that must be borne by all
members of our society,” Mr.
Vaughan said.
The subcommittee also was told
that abuse of the Bankruptcy Code
by debtors who are not truly needy
has caused creditor losses that are
“ staggering,” by Paul J. Pfeilsticker,
vice president of Continental Illinois
National Bank and Trust Company of
Chicago. Lack of a threshold test of
need for filing bankruptcy has
allowed debtors “ the ability, indeed
even the ‘right, ’ to legally walk out on
legitimate and payable debts,” Mr.
Pfeilsticker told the Subcommittee.
He testified on behalf of The
Consumer Bankers Association on
the growing problem of personal
bankruptcies, which increased 82%
nationally in 1980. Like all consumer
lenders, Mr. Pfeilsticker said, CBA
members are experiencing signifi­
cantly increased losses, both in the
aggregate and in the average per
bankruptcy. A t Continental, for

example, bankruptcy charge-offs
rose from $4.5 million in 1979 to $8.4
million in 1980, an increase of 84.6 %.
While in 1979 bankruptcy losses
represented 13.7% of all Continen­
tal’s consumer charge-offs, they
accounted for 25.8% in 1980.
The tremendous leap in filings
since enactment of the Code in 1979 is
in sharp contrast with the usual
historical trend in which personal
bankruptcy filings generally followed
the economic health of the nation.
The unemployment rate increased in
1980, but it did not reach the level of
the 1974-75 recession, Mr. Pfeilsticker pointed out. And yet, the “ number
of personal bankruptcy filings for the
first quarter of 1980 was close to 50 %
greater than that of 1975, ” he said. 0

Kansas Senate Rejects
Money Market Controls
The Kansas State Senate has
stopped a move to put money market
mutual funds with checklike features
under the jurisdiction of the state
bank commissioner for the purpose of
imposing examinations and reserve
requirements.
The Senate voted unanimously to
“ nonconcur” with an amendment at­
tached to a banking bill by the state
House o f Representatives after heavy

weekend lobbying efforts by money
funds, some of which claimed they
would have to quit the state if the
measure passed.
The action by the state Senate
means that a joint House-Senate
conference committee will now be
assigned to resolve the matter.
Supporters of the amendment,
including the Kansas Bankers
Association, hope the committee will
set hearings on the issue.
