No, but it would be smart to close any bank account that the pay day loan company can access. Also, please understand that filing for bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step.

Your SSD benefits are exempt assets and may not be attached by the trustee or creditors. Filing Bankruptcy should not affect those benefits.

Generally the bankruptcy would not have an effect on SSD benefits. Payday loan companies are very savy at avoulding discharge of their advances so I suggest you see a bankruptcy attorney before you do anything.
