Re: credit cards and bankruptcy

You can use the credit card up to 90 days before you file your bankruptcy petition. The best advice is to wait much more than 90 days so it won't give the U.S. Trustee the impression that you are attempting to abuse the bankruptcy laws. As a practical matter, just have your attorney prepare all the paperwork and hold off filing it until the requisite time has passed.

Good luck!
