Bankruptcy is an option that many individuals opt to utilize in order to get their finances back on track and eliminate or reduce their financial obligations.
Ohio residents may be interested in a celebrity bankruptcy case that was recently reported. Actress Tisha Campbell-Martin and her husband Duane Martin are claiming approximately $15 million in debt in their bankruptcy filing. It was not stated in the report whether the couple filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but it was noted that they allegedly have $313,000 in assets and a monthly income of approximately $7,500.
Reports went on to state that the couple’s monthly expenses more than double the amount of their monthly income. Their debts reportedly stem from bank loans, back taxes and three car payments.
