Not sure what you mean by being "notified". I would just say that it is not a good idea to try to beat the system. A bankruptcy case does not end when the judge discharges your debts. Your creditors still have rights after the discharge if you have been less than honest during the trial.

After declaring bankruptcy it is smart to wait six months before obtaining a new account. If a trustee finds that you have XXXX amount of dollars in bank B after closing an account at bank A it will look as if you tried to defraud the bankruptcy law. For chapter 7 wait until discharge for chapter 13 as long as you are making timely payments it doesn't matter.

Of course you can. The card issuer has to be listed along with the balance owed. If there is a zero balance on the card and outstanding charges that have not hit yet, you may not have to list it, but it's safer to list it. Any amount in a checking account that cannot be exempted under state or federal exemptions becomes property of the bankruptcy estate. You don't get to keep it.

No, once a bankruptcy is filed an automatic "stay" is in place, and creditors cannot pursue any collection action.

The creditor needs to file and win a lawsuit, be granted a judgment and then enforce the judgment as a bank account garnishment.

Usually a letter from your attorney saying you have filed bankruptcy will stop this action.
