Most of my clients are very concerned about credit. They have gotten into debt as a result of credit and they can’t bear the thought of living without credit. Thus, one of the first questions that I get asked is, “can I keep one or two of my credit cards, I don’t have a very high balance on these?” The answer is generally no. Credit card providers are usually not interested in keeping a cardholder who has filed for bankruptcy. Most providers subscribe to a service that advises them of the recent bankruptcy filings.
