What
Else Should I Know? Public utilities, such as the
electric company, cannot refuse or cut off service
because you have filed for bankruptcy.
However, the utility can require a deposit for
future service and you do have to pay bills which
arise after bankruptcy is filed. An employer or government agency
cannot discriminate against you because you have
filed for bankruptcy. If you lost your license solely
because you couldn’t pay court-ordered damages
caused in an accident, bankruptcy will allow you to
get your license back. If someone has co-signed a loan with you and you file for bankruptcy, the co-signer may have to pay your debt. If you file a chapter 13, you may be able to protect co-signers, depending upon the terms of your chapter 13 plan.
