My wife and I are planning on filing bankruptcy. I went back to school about 6 years ago, racked up a ton of debt, and then just before graduating, I got did something very stupid and ended up in a 1 year legal struggle, followed by 2 months in jail, and 3.5 years in counseling/treatment/restitution/fines/court costs etc. The question I have though is this: I had 2 credit cards that were above and beyond their limit, and I told them a while ago to get bent, that I was filing, that was about 12 months or so ago, (it has taken that long to get enough money to file) I also have a rash of medical bills and other assorted odds and ends. But the 2 credit card companies have not sent me a bill in all this time. I don’t know if they went ahead, called it a bad debt and said screw it or what. But those were the 2 largest bills I had, and without those I may be able to dig myself out of the hole I am in. Is there a way I can find out if these are still outstanding?
