Can a person be fired from their job if they file bankruptcy (credit cards), legally? I dont own a home and know that it is apparently legal to be denied a rental home if one files. Can you also be “kicked out” from your present rental home? These are the stigmas I see. Its like a modern day debtor’s prison and is very stressful and scary.

No. An employer cannot discriminate against an employee who files for bankruptcy. They can lay you off for other reasons during your bankruptcy, but you cannot be fired from a job simply for filing for bankruptcy.

Why are you scared? Come on man.

Be a man, and remember that God did not intend for you to be scared through life.

If you can’t pay, then don’t worry about it. Pay for your shelter, your food, and your basic bills. I have gone one year and not paid them. All they do is harass me, and they do it illegally; they have judgements on me, but they will never collect.

If you need credit down the line, then play the game and throw them a bone.

Here’s my trick that me and my wife do, we always and I mean always pay our credit card off before the end of the month, and…..no interest. There’s more, we use are credit card for almost everything, don’t use cash much, because we collect the air mile points which can be redeemed as cash, we just redeemed $500 into Home Depot $50 coupons, and use it for home inprovements. Which in-turn icreaseas our homes value
