I can't pay the credit card i have with wells fargo and have switched banks. My checking account with them has $4.09 in it and i owe $3000 on the credit card. Should i close the bank account or does it really matter? Can they touch that account in general or does it matter because there is no money in there?


I am going thru the same EXACT thing. I am filing chapter 7 which should be discharged here shortly and had an acct with WFB as well as one of their credit cards with over 10K that was in the bankruptcy petition. My lawyer warned me to close that WFB acct because there could be some fine fine print that states they have a right to take funds from your checking to offset monies owed to other depts. Now the funny part, I switched to WAMU right b4 their fiasco. Now that they have been bought out by Chase, I am in the same boat again, but thankfully, legally, they can not touch my money because it will be discharged. I will eventually switch over after discharge to Bank of the West, but I am getting tired of all of this!
