Best Answer

No, otherwise all bankrupt people would be employed at jobs they are totally not qualified for. Like "Brain Surgeon" or "Nuclear Weapons Technician."

I don't think it's even illegal to not hire someone who is otherwise qualified, if they filed for bankruptcy and another equally qualified candidate did not. Or at least, it would be very hard to prove that was the reason.

Discrimination for certain reasons, like race, religion, place of origin, etc are illegal.

Discrimination for financial reasons is NOT illegal.

Will your furniture get reposed if you quit paying on it since Lacks filed bankruptcy?

Yes - they did mine and filed a lawsuit. The furniture was picked up and I was served with papers. However, check your papers carefully. They had a major mistake in mine. They filed in the wrong county which is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Act. I had to hire a lawyer that counter sued. The suit was dropped and Lacks had to repair my credit report. But Im still out my furniture and the money for the lawyer.
