No, if you close your credit card, a merchant will not be able to charge the account. When the merchant attempts to get an authorization, it will come back declined.
Now, if a merchant received an authorization before the card account was closed, the authorization will be honored.
A merchant may attempt to force a credit card transaction without an authorization, but the credit card company will not pay it.

While it is more difficult to obtain a Merchant Account with a bankruptcy on your credit it is still possible.

Sure can, a dirty deal.

No, the banks can not close your saving and checkings account. If you have credit card debts then yes they can close your credit cards.
You can't close a credit card unless the balance is zero.

Contact the credit company and tell them you want to close the account and tell them to send you a final bill.
To successfully close an account, you must first have a zero balance on said account. Otherwise, you will still receive bills on that balance, which can and probably will accrue late charges.
