Arizona consumer bankruptcies are still on the upswing. July had a 86% increase in Chapter 7 filings from the same month of 2008, jumping from 1,415 to 2,632. However, this is a lesser increase than previous months have seen.

Across the state, June and May showed a 96.6% and 107.5% increase in Chapter 7 filings from their respective periods of the previous year.  Experts expect the upward trend in filings to increase through the holiday season.
