What is a “debt relief agency”?
A “debt relief agency” is a person who, for compensation, provides bankruptcy assistance to a person who owes debt incurred primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, and has less than $164,250 in non-exempt assets. The bankruptcy petition preparer is specifically included in the definition of a debt relief agency without regard to the nature or amount of the debt; the debtor’s attorney is not specifically included, but would be included by the definition, subject to the requirements for nature of debt and amount of non-exempt assets.
