Only the State and Federal governments are able to levy your bank account directly. Creditors are generally not entitled to money you have in your bank account (either directly or indirectly) but can get a Judgment against you in which case some kind of garnishment could possibly be established. The fact that the money is SSI may not matter in the end.

Why is a Motion for Relief from Stay is filed?

It is filed because a secured creditor (who has stopped receiving payments) wants to foreclose on the collateral of the loan/promissory note. It is filed because a BK filing prevents a creditor from trying any collection activity (the "stay"). So a creditor that wants to continue to collect/foreclose must seek court permission to do so- hence "relief" from "stay"

Is it okay to tell a credit card company or a collection agencey that you are filing bankruptcy if you are planning to do so in a few weeks?

"Is it okay to tell a credit card company or a collection agencey that you are filing bankruptcy if you are planning to do so in a few weeks?"[ Yes, they may ask the question anyway. However, don't be surprised if you receive correspondence suggesting you speak with a customer rep. about adjusting your payments. The last thing a creditor wants is to have an account holder file for BK. Remember new BK reform will become law in Oct. therefore filing a chapter 7 will be very difficult.
