First and foremost, you cannot obtain anything (new credit, loans, etc) without the approval of the trustee! If you do and the trustee finds out (and he/she will), they will move to immediately discharge your bankruptcy; leaving you at the mercy of your creditors with no other options available.
I'm new here....and the above statement has me horrified!!! We filed Chap 13 in Oct, 2005 and are nearing the end of our 36 month payments on this Arizona Chapt 13. We've made every single payment on time, and turned over our tax refunds. Trying to do everything right.

But, about 6 months after the plan approval, on advice from a "BK Guru" at a recovery seminar, we opened up a $750 secured VISA credit card account with some of our grocery money and that is all we ever use that card for.....to buy our groceries.

Then, about 6 months later, we received a pre-approved credit card invitation. In hopes of starting to repair our credit, we filled out the app and amazingly, we received a VISA credit card account with a $1500 credit line. We have used it very sparingly(never more than $600 and mainly for Internet purchases) and have paid it off every month. They have even recently increased our credit line to $2300. But now, after reading the above quote, I'm really freaked!! Are we now in a world of hurt?? We want this 13 to end with no problems. Please....some hopeful advice. Thanks
