Pressure Ulcer, Bed Sore and Decubitus Ulcer litigation is a growing concern for nursing homes. The incidence of a pressure ulcer alone is many times used as evidence of neglect on the part of a nursing home.

Pressure ulcers, Bed Sores and Decubitus Ulcers are a phenomenon, not a disease or even a discrete medical condition. Pressure ulcers – skin breakdown that occurs entirely as a result of exposure to a toxic combination of physical forces, such as pressure and shear – are more accurately described as an injury as used by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Experienced clinicians know that this type of pressure ulcer is the exception rather than the rule. Instead, the incidence of pressure ulcers in nursing homes is more accurately described as an event, often associated with medically complicated residents who usually are frail and immobilized. Clinicians must continue efforts to understand pressure ulcers, learn which can be avoided, and find better ways to treat them. .

The credit card issuers send their accounts receivable data to the credit reporting agencies on a monthly basis.  This information contains your credit limit, amount you owe (balance), minimum payment, date of last payment and payment date.  If you used your credit card that month, there will be a balance due on your statement.  When you pay your bill, your account is credited for that amount.  The issue is that you will always show a balance on your credit report, if you use your credit card and pay your statement when you receive it.

To avoid showing a balance, you need to pay your bill before the closing date of the current month. Don’t charge on your card between the date you pay and the end of the cycle or you will still show a balance.  For example, the closing date on your account is September 30.  Let’s say today is September 26 and you have charged $600 since you last statement. You can p

Guest Post by Atlanta Bankruptcy Attorney Peter Bricks.

I am often surprised how many chapter 7 bankruptcy debtors who want to file bankruptcy just before a foreclosure sale to stop the sale, ask the following question: Can I short sale my house after I file bankruptcy?

Although it can be done, it rarely makes sense. The reason is because a home mortgage short sale after filing chapter 7 bankruptcy rarely makes sense.

When I ask clients why they want to short sale their house after filing bankruptcy, the response I usually get back makes clear that the debtor does not fully understand the ramifications of their bankruptcy filing and the relief it afforded. Unless a chapter 7 debtor reaffirms their secured debt in the bankruptcy, then the debt is discharged.

For example, lets say the debtor owns a house worth $130,000 and has a mortgage at $150,000.
