Fact Pattern 23-1
Bailey has been making large credit card purchases for months. He has also borrowed money from Jack and Susan, friends of his, so that he can continue his rather lavish lifestyle involving foreign travel. He borrowed $1,000 from Jack and $2,000 from Susan. He also borrowed $500 from his mother. Bailey finally decides that he can no longer continue to make even the minimum payments on his credit cards and considers filing for bankruptcy. He does, however, want to pay some of his debts. Bailey, therefore, puts off the credit card companies and saves his cash. He starts the New Year off by paying on January 1 all funds owed to his mother. He was particularly concerned about repaying his mother because he still lived at home and had some concerns that she would kick him out of the house if he did not repay her. Then, on June 1 he pays Jack; and on July 4, he pays Susan. Bailey proceeds to file bankruptcy on August 2 because he has repaid anyone he really cares about. He plans to complete the bankruptcy and move to the Caribbean.
