What is the name of your state? CA

I have serveral credit cards I want to list in my chapter 7 bankruptcy, but one I want to keep if possible.

Every card fell horribly behind after being laid-off except for one--my Best Buy card; it's payments have always been manageable (<$50/mo).

This may sound odd, but if I don't list that card can I keep it? I realize I'd have to keep the debt too.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

I bought my mom a DVD player for Christmas on it and I'd hate to have to take it from her or have it taken.

I can handle these payments...

Thanks in advance,

**A: you can't be selective and must list all debt.

You only asked one question and the answer is NO. If you have a balance on the card, you must declare it. Cards with $0 balance don't have to be declared.

Besides, even if you didn't list it, BB/Household WILL cancel the card the first time they do an account review of your credit and see the bankruptcy. You'll end up with useless plastic anyway.
