After chapter 7 will I be able to keep my credit card accounts with $0 balance to help rebuild my credit score?
I have a past repossession due to job loss for over 34k and they are charging me interest a day. I have 6 credit cards with chase, capital one, and a home depot card, these will not be included in the chapter 7 because I don’t own any on these cards. Thanks for you help.

It’s not a matter of will you be able to keep them it’s more a matter of will your creditors cancel them as soon as they find out your have filed chapter 7.
All credit card companies look at their customers credit files at least once a quarter to see how they are paying other creditors, once they see your chapter 7 it’s more then likely they will cancel your cards.
You can always rebuild with others like First Premier, Orchard Bank, H.S.B.C. and Capital One.
December 26th, 2009 at 7:40 amEven if you do not owe a balance and they are not included, the credit cards companies check everyone’s credit report periodically. They will discover that you filed bankruptcy and will most likely close the accounts.
