I am 69 and on social security, I am on credit cards that the original person filed bankrupcy, my only income is from social security, I am being sue

social security funds are exempt from collection by creditors (except for the IRS), so as long as the only funds in your bank account are from social security, they are protected.  That doesn't mean that a creditor isn't going to TRY and get it.   You should talk with your bank manager about how to ensure something like that doesn't happen accidentally.   Mark J.
