QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

“We’ve seen an increase in bankruptcy filings, which leads us to conclude that many consumers haven’t been able to cope with credit card debt that piled up from last year’s holiday season.

 

We expect that the number of bankruptcies in 2026 will either surpass or remain similar to this year’s figures because of the ongoing economic crisis.”

 

— Yesenia Otero, client services manager,  Consumer
