Can you file bankruptcy only on the late fees of an active account because you want to continue using their services?

Normally if you file bankruptcy on a company in an attempt to wipe out late fees, that company has the right to refuse service to you in the future. However, some companies are required by law to continue to give you service. For example, some states require cerain medical providers (usually state-funded hospitals) to continue to provide service even if someone filed bankruptcy on them (though the hospital may be able to demand proof of insurance in advance, etc.). Also, the Bankruptcy Code requires utility companies to re-establish new service for people who file bankruptcy on them, though the Code does allow the utility companies to charge a new security deposit up front prior to establishing the new service (see 11 U.S.C. 366). A private-owned daycare would more than likely be able to refuse to provide future service if you file bankruptcy on the past debt you owe them. A state-funded daycare may or may not be able to refuse service, this would depend on the laws of the state in which you reside. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

Can a bank take your deposits out of your account after you have filed for bankruptcy?
no because you have no money idiot
Can a bank take your paycheck because you said you were filing bankruptcy?
Only the State and Federal government institutions have the right to levy your bank account directly. Banks can take your paycheck to cover insufficient funds in the check-owner's bank account (with that bank) but cannot do so just because the owner of the account is filing for bankruptcy.
If your bank account has been frozen because your ex-husband filed for bankruptcy how can you get your funds out?
A bank account can usually only be held for thirty days from the time it is secured. The joint account holder should contact the bankruptcy trustee to learn what is necessary to have their percentage of the funds returned.
Why is there an account number on a utility bill?
Because utility services are set up as a customer account.
Can you buy a house if you have filed for bankruptcy?
If you have filed bankruptcy because you cannot afford to pay your debts, a lender will not loan you money to purchase a house and it just doesn't make sense. You cannot continue to acquire assets while your assets are frozen and in the possession of the trustee in bankruptcy in a bankruptcy proceeding.
What if an authorized user files bankruptcy does it hurt the card holder?
No, because an AU is not legally responsible for repayment of the debt incurred on the account.
Where can I go to get a free email account?
Well, I would recommend getting an email account from Hotmail because they offer a variety of services. They also offer their variety of services for a fee of no charge.
Can creditors classify an account as a charge-off because it was included in a chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Yes and no. If an account was already charged-off before the bankruptcy, it can be reported as a charge-off. By law, the creditors must charge-off accounts included in bankruptcy, BUT they can not REPORT that charge-off if it happens AFTER the bankuptcy. Negative reporting on discharged debts is a violation of the permanent injunction of the discharge.
How long after being bankrupt can you get a bank account?
I filed a bankruptcy because I was injured and could not work. When I had nearly depleted my savings I paid my utility bills for the next year, leaving enough for food and gasoline up to when I thought I would be well enough to work (I was guessing a year). Then I closed my bank account and used only cash. I landed a job the day after the bankruptcy was awarded so I needed to open a bank account immediately (cashing checks without your own account is very expensive). I had no trouble getting an account at a local credit union. I am hard-pressed to understand why acquiring a bank account would be associated with a bankruptcy, money is money.
If someone files for bankruptcy and another person is linked to one of their credit cards will it affect that other persons credit?
Not really, if Person B is just a person who received an additional card with access to that account. Person A is the person's whose credit is on the line for the account. Person B is in no way liable for the account because Person B is not part of the credit card agreement. The bankruptcy will not affect person B. Now the reason I say "not really" is because that account will be closed and Person B will no longer receive the benefit of having this account on their credit report as an authorized user. There may be a slight decrease but only from the general closure of an account.
Do you close your checking account when you are filing bankruptcy on online payday loan companies that debit your account?
Closing your account is the only way to ensure they won't take any more money. Many payday lenders are bottom feeders who don't abide by the laws anyway. Just because you file bankruptcy doesn't necessarily mean they will stop trying to take money out of your account. Secondly, find out if payday loans are legal in your state. Some states have made them illegal. It may not be necessary to file bankruptcy if payday loans are your only issue. A bankruptcy attorney should give you a free consultation. Your state attorney general or financial regulator could give you more info on payday loans in your state.
If I file bankruptcy can I add my mother's creditor with my bankruptcy?
Just because she is your mother, it does not mean that you are automatically liable for her debts. When you file for bankruptcy, you can include only those debts which you are liable either personally or as a co-signor or joint debts. If you are not a co-signor and you include your mother debt in your bankruptcy, you will be committing fraud and your petition will be dismissed. Once a bankruptcy petition is dismissed for fraud, there may be restrictions on future filings. Your mother will continue to be liable for the debt. If she is unable to pay the debt, she can file for bankruptcy to discharge the debt. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel.
