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.


What can you do if a credit card was not listed in your bankruptcy but was on your credit report and credit card co did a review for credit line increase and saw the bankruptcy and notated the account?

That depends on HOW they notated the account. If they marked it as 'included in bankruptcy', even if you did not list them on your creditor matrix, you probably will not succeed in disputing it, but you can try.


If you file bankruptcy but still have some credit cards with a zero balance on them will you still be able to keep them or will they automatically be closed?

If you have credit accounts in good standing then do not include them in your bankruptcy.


Credit card closed by issuer affect credit score?

Yes. Creditors report to the credit reporting agencies the terms under which an account is closed. It looks bad and is a slightly more derogatory status when an account is closed by the lender vs. closed by the customer.


What happens to the interest rate on your credit card if you've filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

If the credit card was included in the Chapter 7, nothing happens. The account will be closed by the creditor and the amount owed including any accrued interest is wiped out.

If you are an additional card holder on a parent's credit card account and you file bankruptcy will the bankruptcy appear on their credit?

The bankruptcy will appear on their credit if you include this card in your bankruptcy. If you leave the card off the bankruptcy, it will not effect their credit.


If an account is closed by a credit grantor why would the card holder continue to make payments after bankruptcy findings are closed?

The card holder is under no legal obligation for the card holder to continue making payments after filing for bankruptcy, unless the case is dismissed without a discharge. There are some who believe that they can improve their credit rating by pay off debts that were discharged in a bankruptcy, but I believe there are better methods to reestablish credit after bankruptcy.

Are accounts after bankruptcy included in bankruptcy?

Any debt that you accumulate before your bankruptcy filing and have listed on your petition will be eliminated when you receive your discharge as long as your creditors do not file an injunction against you. After you receive your discharge you are welcome and able to open new credit accounts but any debt you accumulate will not be considered a part of the bankruptcy you filed before opening the account.

How long is something listed on a credit report?

I've seen accounts listed for years. A bankruptcy will stay on for 10 years. If you have an account that is paid and closed and you want it off of your report you can dispute it with the major credit reporting agencies.


How can you make the credit card company reopen an account and remove 'closed by credit grantor' from your credit report?

You can't MAKE a credit card company reopen an account. You can call the credit bureau and request that they change the status to indicate that is was closed by you and not the credit grantor. Or, you can simply put a notation in your credit report stating that the account was closed by you and not the card company.
