    Default Re: Credit Card Payments Until Chapter 7 Discharge

    Yes, its likely that they will hound you. Once your attorney is paid and they call, you will direct their calls to them. You should not make a payment to any cc companies, this could hinder your ability to file.

    You don't want to pay on any credit cards/pay any unsecured creditors in those two months prior to filing for bankruptcy. If you do, they could be considered "preferential "transfers" - paying certain creditors instead of the money being distributed among all your creditors. This could affect your bankruptcy.

    Making any payments to credit card or using a credit card within (90 days) of filing for bankruptcy may result in the credit card company calling your bankruptcy claim as fraud.

    Does this mean using your credit cards 90 days prior to filing bankruptcy or just after you file? Is it better to stop paying your credit cards before filing o wait until your lawyer says to stop paying?

    Don't make any more payments on your credit cards prior to filing as your lawyer per your first post also told you not to. Also, don't use the cards any more prior to filing.
