    Checking Accounts before filing

    I noticed that some of you, in a waiting period for BK as I am, mention
    the use of a new checking account.

    I closed both my accounts last year and have been using money orders only for monthly expenses.

    So far, on 7 cc accounts, only Chase went for the judgment. Seeing no need to go to court, they acquired the judgment about 6 months ago. I am judgment proof.

    Last week I got a letter from Chase stating that they put a garnishment against one of my old checking accounts. Hello! it has been closed for 6 months.
    Can they be this dumb to spend the money on securing a garnishment on a closed account?

    Also, wanted to add that most of my cc accounts were all almost 25 years old and I had stellar credit for all those years.
    Not one of the original creditors were nasty to me as I speak to them all the time.

    BOA must have sold my account because last week I kept getting calls from some company and they were really nasty. One guy threatened to "come to my house." I promptly called them back, asked for the manager and told him that one of their collectors threatened me and was the collector thinking of doing me bodily harm when he arrived at my house?

    Well, never heard from them again, lol.

    Anyway, my question is, those of you with checking accounts, aren't you afraid of an account garnishment? I would love to open up a new checking account.

    Bank garnishment depends upon your state. in Oregon, when the garnishment is received by the bank, it is only good for the day the bank receives the garnishment. If you have only a few cents in your account on that day, then teh bank sends those cents to the creditor/CA. There is a banking fee involved, and for the banks I've used this ranges frmo $25 - $75. You are charged this for the bank. I've heard that many banks charge much more

      I can't believe they said they were going to come to your house?! WTH? Bet he got yelled at by his supervisor.

      I'll only be using cash, money order or my bf's checkcard which I'm not on legally (he just gave me his card to use for gas & stuff).

      I'm in Texas & they don't garnish my wages luckily. One less thing to worry about.

      I don't have any money in my main checking acct. but hope they don't close it? Do they let you keep your bank account after filing?

        If you are not in arrears on your account and don't have any accounts with the same bank that you are including in your BK, it will survive.
