Sommario/riassunto

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Bureau of Consumer Protection presents the March 2000 consumer alert "Advertisements Promising Debt Relief May Be Offering Bankruptcy" in PDF format. The alert warns consumers about advertisements that promise debt relief. These advertisements may actually be talking about bankruptcy, which remains on a person's credit report for ten years and can reduce the person's ability to get credit, a job, insurance, or housing.
