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.
