- Bank Trends The rising level of credit
card debt is often cited as one of the factors in the rising personal bankruptcy rate.
This paper argues that a 1978 Supreme Court decision ("Marquette") set the U.S.
on a course of rising personal bankruptcies when it deregulated consumer interest rates.
The paper, which is the fourth in a series on personal bankruptcies, argues that interest
rate deregulation fundamentally altered the market for credit card loans and resulted in
expanded availability of credit, an increase in the average risk profile of borrowers, and
a secular increase in personal bankruptcies. Posted On:
