Will my boss find out about my BK 7 ?

[storesstores]

I work in a large company. One of the debts I want to eliminate - get discharged is a credit union loan with the company I work for.

Will my bosses find out about this?

By Investigation::

1. Does boss know or have friends/relatives working in CU?

2. Does boss have bank accounts with CU?

3. Does boss come by CU building often (to withdraw cash)?

4. Do people work at CU are loud-mouth, talkative type, rumors a lot, etc.!?

5. Is your company "financial-related" sector?

6. Does your job title/position requires credit check, or clearance?

The credit union is not even in the city that I work in...It might not even be in the state...

What if my boss had an account with the CU?

Working for Company where Credit is included in BK

I work in a large company. One of the debts I want to eliminate - get discharged is a credit union loan with the company I work for.

Will my bosses find out about this?

I work for a big university in Illinois and when I originally filed, I tried to keep them out, but my lawyer said I did not get to pick and chose who would be included in my BK, so they were included which involves the loan and credit card I have with them. When I got on Pacer, I noticed that they received the letter, but they still took out the loan payment and credit card payment because all of this is done by payroll deduction. We no longer have paper checks. The credit union uses Chase and all of these folks are connected together.

The only reason I do not worry about any of that is because, they were already taking the money out of my account when I gave the bank statements to the trustee. Payroll deduction kept right on moving on. I did think that I was not supposed to have anymore deductions takin out after they received the letter, but since they already did it anyway and I work there and I am trying not to cause a big disturbance, I just let it go for now. If the trustee tells me that they had better do it and immedidately, then I will make a big deal about it.

My boss knows I filed.

Most likely if there has been a long time not paying, your boss may already know your in financial troubles, as often creditors will call your workplace.

Keep in mind also that you cannot legally be fired for filing bankruptcy.

If they are still making any attempt to collect on a debt that is part of the bankruptcy without first filing a motion to lift the stay then they are breaking the law.
