Reform Bill requires Attorneys to call themselves Debt Relief Agencies

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention & Consumer Protection Act of 2005 requires any professional who assists or represents consumers in filing bankruptcy to advertise him or herself as a “Debt Relief Agency.” See Act, ¶ ¶ 226(a)(3), 229. It is not clear how this requirement will be implemented or enforced. BankruptcyMedia owns the rights to the domain name DebtReliefAgencies.com and the address for a future online directory will be accessible by that name.
