QUESTION
My attorney told me to max credit cards before bankruptcy, should I?
Asked on Oct 14th, 2017 on Bankruptcy - Oregon
More details to this question:
My attorney told me if I haven’t already, I should max out my credit cards with Christmas coming etc but that I need to do so 90 days prior to filing. This makes me nervous. A couple I’ve had to for needs and I could do the same with another but again it makes me nervous.

You should find a competent attorney. If you incur debts with the intention of not paying them because you?re planning bankruptcy, you're discharge will be denied if the court discovers it. Obviously, this attorney is a hack who isn't familiar with bankruptcy law.

I would not do it. Purchases within 90 days are circumspect if they are not ordinary everyday purchases. Doing holiday shopping and then filing is a bad idea.

No, and find a new attorney. This one will get you into trouble.

Sounds like bad advice to me. I always tell people if they are planning to file for bankruptcy they should stop using their credit cards.

This is haphazard advice and highly unethical.
