savings account

[TBLTZ]

did anyone have a savings account when they filed chap 7? I know it can put it under exemptions but did your bank try to freeze the funds or is it safer to keep cash? im thinking about 2k dollars

Wells Fargo is notorious for freezing accounts of those filing bk, have not heard of anyone else doing it really.

even wells fargo doesn't freeze accounts under 5k.

I bet they do.. if you have an saving account with them, close it ASAP.. better to be safe then sorry

Not to derail the thread, but speaking of banks and accounts, what is the general consensus if you have your checking account with a bank where you have 2 credit cards? We have Bank of Amercia for Checking and and two of our numerous credit cards. I won't see the laywer until Saturday, but should I start shopping around for a new bank to keep my checking account?

Yes you should move to be on the safe side. I have checking and savings with BOA. I also have cc. I just closed my savings with them today. I opened a new checking with another bank today also. Im already 6 days behind on my cc payment to them...just hoping I can move my account before they do something to it like try and take my money. I should be done with them in a week.

Ok, that is good to know. I have direct deposit from work, so I will need to get an account open and the direct depost switched before I do anything.
