Mental Health Agency Files Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Written by CFB Blogger. Posted in Blog

W.E.B. Dubois Community Development Corp., a Wake Forest, North Carolina, mental health group, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy last month. The nonprofit agency, which operated between 2006 and 2011, owes the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services more than $2 million, according to court records. The agency reportedly also owes over $186,000 in unpaid wages and other business expenses and debts to both Suntrust Bank and Dell Computer. The bankruptcy petition, which was signed by Mary Johnson, who is listed as a former board member of the agency, lists $23,520 in assets after the organization sold its property last year to Habitat for Humanity of Raleigh for $43,000. According to an article by Dawn Kurry in the Triangle Business Journal, Dubois Community Development Corp. provided “mental health and substance abuse family counseling services” but stopped providing these services in March 2010. Bankruptcy court documents show that active patients and their records were transferred to other medical providers or have been stored at OneCare Behavioral Health Systems.

Candidate Avers that Bankruptcy Filing Should be No Issue in Utah Election

Written by CFB Blogger. Posted in Blog

Greg Graves, a Republican candidate for a Utah County Commission seat has stated, correctly, that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy that he had filed in April 2010 should not disqualify him from taking a leadership role in government. In an article on www.heraldextra.com by Billy Hesterman, Graves explained that his financial situation was caused by a 1995 car accident in which he was a passenger, which resulted in skull fractures that required 20 surgeries. The medical bills and other expenses incurred as a result of that accident found Graves with over $75,000 in debt. His financial adviser recommended that the educator file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which Graves ultimately decided was the correct decision for him. “’… It was the only way for me to get a new start,’” Graves averred. Graves, a school teacher, stated to the Herald that “’Bankruptcy is not a measure of an individual’s character but a measure of someone’s circumstances.’” We definitely agree with Mr. Graves.
