If I file bankruptcy do I have to pay back my reserve line of credit at my bank?

I’m ready to file for bankruptcy as I’m unemployed & in two months I’ll be out of money if I don’t get a job. I’ve borrowed about k in a reserve line of credit at my bank. My bank deducts about 0/month for this from my checking account. If I file for bankruptcy will my reserve line of credit be taken care of in the bankruptcy or do I have to pay it back, IF I’m able to file bankruptcy? Thanks.

How can I keep my line of credit open and settle my debt for less than the balance?

Hello,

I have had a credit card for nearly three years, and have always paid the balance in full every month. However, a few months ago, I got sick and lost my job, etc. and to make a long story short, I lived off of my credit card and can’t afford to pay the balance off in full. My question is, is it possible to keep my line of credit open and somehow settle the debt for less than the balance (i.e., pay 0 to wipe out the 00 debt)? I want to take my balance down to zero, but there’s just no way I can afford to do that right now, but I need to use my card until next semester starts.
