When you file bankruptcy. there is an automatic stay on collection. The clerk doesn't even consult a judge; she stamps your copy "relief ordered" and hands it back to you before you even leave the window.
That doesn't keep the bank from soliciting new business. It's only a bar to collection of existing debts.
If you have a secured debt to the bank, such as a car loan, it might sense to approach the bank. If you owe $8,000 on a car that's only going to bring $4,000 at auction suggest to the bank that you would be willing to reaffirm the debt if they write the loan down to $4500. That gives them more money than they would get at auction, and they don't have to spend a lot of man hours
selling it.
