I am on the verge of possibly having to file bankruptcy, but the one thing that keeps me from doing so is I still need to keep my CareCredit card for medical emergencies as I have no insurance. Am I correct in believing that I'd lose CareCredit along with my other cards?


Most likely they would cancel it, but it's not guaranteed. We had two accounts with zero balances and always on time payments - Lowe's and Kohl's. Lowe's canceled the account as soon as they found out about the BK. Kohl's so far hasn't canceled it, but we're only a couple of months in, so they still might.

I wonder if you could call CareCredit (anonymously) and find out what their policy is regarding BKs?

Yes, unless they are zero balance, you do have to include them. I guess I just assumed that it was zero balance since the OP was even entertaining the possibility of being able to keep it.

Cbyrn, if it isn't zero balance and you can continue to afford the payments on it, you might be able to get them to allow you to keep the card if you reaffirm the debt. Many times creditors will agree to keep your account open in exchange for you agreeing to continue paying the debt. However, they usually only give you a small credit limit.
