April 2008 Filings

April 2008 saw 93,096 petitions filed in the United States.  This up from 90,288 in March, 2008 and up from 67,787 in April of 2007.  The total for the first four months of 08 is 333,051 compared to 254,799 for the four months in 2007 or a 31% increase.  According to Bob Lawless on Credit Slips, the April filings are actually sightly down from March because there was one more "filing day" in April. 

Looking at just the past three months, Feb - April, the total of 272,772 is still lower than any quarter since March, 1996.
