If a company has already issued me a company credit card, can the card be taken away if I claim bankruptcy?

chris h asked:


I have had the company credit card for approximately 10 years, paid the card off monthly, but recently got cut back on my job with a large reduction in pay, which will not allow me to make my personal credit card payments. If I claim bankruptcy on my personal credit cards, will my company be notified, and will they take away my company-backed credit card. It does not show on my credit report.

Is it safe to give possible employer a credit report?

dd asked:


I responded via email to an ad on craigslist for a realtor company hiring a receptionist. I asked what the company name was and what the job entails before I sent them my resume which had personal info such as address and phone #. They replied asking me to go to free credit report website to obtain a credit check and send it to them. Is that really necessary or even safe?? Are they just trying to steal my identity??

Small business debt with NO personal guaranty. Is my personal credit protected?

Stella asked:


Hello. I started a business at the beginning of last year, but was never able to get it off the ground. I closed it in December.

I opened several accounts with no personal guaranty and I don’t have the money to pay those bills right now. Is it possible for my debtors to sue me directly? Can those items end up on my credit report? If it takes too long for me to get back on my feet, can my business’ creditors garnish the wages I earn on my job?

I would like to pay them, but it will be a while before I am back on my feet and I want to make sure my personal credit is protected.

Thanks!
I should point out that the business was an LLC.

Does lawsuit stay on your credit report?

sadia a asked:


If you sue an employer, whether you win or lose, does that stay on your credit report or in any other personal records? Would that cause problems to find another job?

Thanks
