Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
I am filing chapter 7 bankruptcy, what happens to the items I purchased with a credit card? Do they come and take those items away? This is unsecured, I am concerned about this.

Most credit card agreements don't take a security interest in the items purchased, unless it's a store-issued card, like from Best Buy or Sears--in that case, they'll likely ask for the stuff back or agree to continue paying for it if you'd like to keep it.
