NH bankruptcies continue to slow in April

Slight rise from March, but 17% lower than 2014

New Hampshire bankruptcy filings held steady in April, with only two more than in March, but there were 41 fewer than April 2014.

Some 199 bankruptcies were filed, 17 percent fewer than last year, and the smallest number since 1990 (not counting 2006, the year after the law was changed to make it more difficult for individuals to file for protection).
