For the most part, she hasn't been using her credit cards for several months, but she needs new tires and is wondering about the impact of charging about $400-$500 on 1 credit card so close to filing for bankruptcy. She isn't trying to get free tires (if she could keep one of her credit cards she would make payments to it), but we've heard that a credit card company has an opportunity to dispute a bankruptcy and she doesn't want this to jeopardize her entire bankruptcy. Are there rules out there that we can reference or can someone help us understand the risks? -
