Credit cards may be what put you into bankruptcy in the first place, but now it is your chance to use them to help you rebuild your credit history. I have a close friend who in 2006 declared bankruptcy, but she has worked hard to build up her credit and now has a very good standing with all three of the credit bureaus. Amazingly enough her credit score last time I talked to her is averaging around 730 for Transunion, Equifax, and Experian, which she thought would never be possible this soon after filing. It is true that she will have the bankruptcy on her permanent record for many more years, but at least she has a chance to get a home, car, or other asset at a decent price sometime in the future.

The answer depends on what kind of bankruptcy you are filing. If you are filing under Chapter 7 (called “liquidation ” or “fresh start”), then any refund for 2009 and earlier (assuming you are filing in 2010), has to be turned over to the trustee (a court officer responsible for overseeing bankruptcy cases and distributing money and property to the creditors).

However, you have to be careful about how you spend the tax refund – if a court determines that you improperly tried to hide your assets, there may be serious consequences, including possibly a denial of discharge. If you are going to choose this approach, it is best to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in your area.
