Bankruptcy filings on the rise in Rhode Island

After the new bankruptcy law was passed in 2005, the number of bankruptcy filings in Rhode Island declined significantly.

Now the number of bankruptcy filings is rising. In the first quarter of this year 583 Rhode Islanders filed for bankruptcy, according to court records, which is nearly double last year’s filings.
