| Dealing
with Credit Cards |
After you have filed for bankruptcy
guess what happens , the Credit Card companies immediately start sending
you offers. You are wondering why they would want your business
considering you just went through a Bankruptcy -- Bankruptcy is
precisely why they want your business because guess what after your
Bankruptcy (Chapter 7) you no longer owe anyone ..you are debt free and
that makes you an attractive target for the Credit Card companies
Before you start signing up for the new credit cards you
need to really understand that everything the credit card companies do
is against you . They are not your friends , they don't understand or
care that your child was sick and you missed a weeks worth of work and
your late on your bill . They care ONLY about finding ways to charge to
your more . Most credit card agreements now make it automatic that if
you are late on even one bill your interest rate will rise ..and that
means if you are getting 7.8% now on a $3000 balance and are late
even once your rate can go to 21% or even more ..and not on just new
purchases but also applies to $3000 they already loaned you !
So our recommendation is to learn to live completely
without a credit card for at least 1 year after Bankruptcy .
