Your setting yourself up for trouble if you are thinking about paying your bankruptcy lawyer on a credit card.

A there's a presumption of non dischargeability for cash advances taken in excess of about $600 within 2 or 3 months prior to the filing.

Moreover, the credit card company will know from the records that you paid the attorney who's bankrupting them on their credit card. All they have to do is file a complaint in the court and the transaction will be treated as fraudulent and nondischargeable. In addition to owing the debt you will also owe the credit card companies attorney fee's and court costs. Any time you incur debt with no intent to pay it's a fraud as far as the bankruptcy court is concerned.
