what kind of trouble can u get into for getting a credit card under chapter 13 bankruptcy?

In most jurisdictions, the Chapter 13 Plan confirmation orders prohibit the incurring of any new debt during the pendency of the Chapter 13 case (which is usually 36-60 months), above a certain amount.  That having been said, there's nothing specifically wrong with getting a credit card, if someone is willing to give one to you. You should check with a bankruptcy attorney in your area for more specifics. Mark J.
