Do I need to close these bank accounts?

[rpg1977]

I certainly hope I don't have to, but I have a checking and savings account with a bank (not credit union) that I also have a credit card with. The credit card only has about $585 dollars on it.

I am filing a 13. Should I close those checking and savings accounts? Would they take money from those accounts?

Thanks

They probably will and yes, you should establish a new checking account with a bank that you don't have a cc/loan, etc. with.

Thanks, I opened a new account today at a different bank. It is a major PITA since we have so many automated payments being made through our current checking account and the direct deposit of our paychecks Oh, well..we'll deal.
