You are probably correct, unless you are a chronic bad check writer. One of my former employees started receiving "pre-approved and guaranteed" auto loans while still in court waiting for his Chapter 7 discharge, (medical issues), telling him he can be driving a new car at discharge! Within 30 days of his discharge he was receiving preapproved unsecured Visa & Mastercard offers.

This was after the recent bankruptcy regulation overhaul! Unbelievable.

FreePaul,

Of course banks will send recently discharged debtors those preapproved offers...they know the guy can't file BK for another 7 years!

Why? People who are debt free and unable to apply for bankruptcy for several years are good risk.
