Re: credit card collections
You should file your exemptions within the 20 day window anyway. Something could happen and your bankruptcy could be dismissed after it is filed. Once the bankruptcy is filed, as long as it is pending, further enforcement procedures will not occur. If the bankruptcy is dismissed, further enforcement procedures can start again.
