Credit Card Debts & Bankruptcy

Do not let embarrassment over significant credit card bills prevent you from calling me. I am a bankruptcy attorney who is here to help you, not judge you. Options exist in eliminating or reorganizing high interest credit cards, ridiculous payday loans, and stopping collection actions against you.

The Do's and Don'ts of Dischargeable Credit Card Debt
Credit card debt may not be dischargeable when the card application was fraudulent or the card was used without any intention of paying. If that's the case then the card issuer may allege fraud by filing an adversary proceeding alleging that the debt be excluded from discharge. Other circumstances can prevent discharge of credit card debt, including:


  • Newly issued cards


  • Credit increases and/or cash advances right before filing


  • Excessively large balances at the time of filing or exceeding credit limits


  • Purchasing luxury items 90 days prior to filing


  • Borrowing on one card to pay another


  • Any charges made after a consultation with an attorney


  • Using a credit card to take a vacation close to your filing date


While I do not encourage my clients to wait on filing bankruptcy, the more time you put between credit card charges and a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition can sometimes prevent or minimize challenges. The timing of any bankruptcy filing should be determined after a consultation with a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney in order to maximize the elimination of debt.



Since 1987 the Bankruptcy Law Center has filed over 12,000 Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases . . . successfully helping New Mexicans get a fresh start.
