Does having a Bankruptcy make you a risk factor when applying for a Security Clearance?

glb310 asked:


How can someone with a bankruptcy (meaning you don’t owe anything) be considered a security risk? I think someone with a lot of debt and without a bankruptcy would be more prone to bribery.

Are joint accounts required to be listed when filing for bankruptcy in Maryland?

J asked:


I am going to file chapter 7 bankruptcy in Maryland and I have a joint credit card between myself and my son. What I would like to do is keep the credit card so I still have something for emergencies after I file bankruptcy. Do I have to list the joint account when filing bankruptcy? Because I would like to keep it open and keep making the payments as usual, and if I did list it could that effect my sons credit, even if he makes the payments, since he is joint on the account?

How do I go about this arrest warrant?

Nyr loves Aac asked:


I got an arrest warrant out in Illinois that I had no idea I had. I’m not trying to run or anything. This was issued this weekend. Its due to a credit debt. I’m guessing it has something to with no appearing in court but I had no idea that I had to appear in court. I been calling offices in Chicago to see who I need to talk to so I can get this problem asap. But will I still need to get arrest and go to jail or will I be able to work something out? What are some solutions or possibilities that can happen? I have to call another number later on today to see what can happen.

Do I have a case for fraud if my former partner declares bankruptcy?

Stony asked:


My former partner has defaulted on our contractual agreement in which he is required to pay me $35,000. He put up collateral but sold and/or damaged some of it. He has filed bankruptcy because he has no money. Is his selling and/or damaging collateral give me a case for fraud so that he can be forced to eventually pay me what he owes?
