Close CU account...

[Carloscda]

If I close my CU account and open up an account with a bank, will that affect me in the future as far as trying to get a credit card to rebuild my credit or anything in general?

Thanks in advanced!

If you open a new account at a different bank/cu you will still be able to obtain credit after your BK. I've done it myself. Protect your money if you have to by opening a new account somewhere else and know that you'll be able to rebuild by cleaning up your credit report and (only if you need one) start off with a small credit limit secured card after your discharge/closing.
