Basically you have to list the asset and exempt it on Schedule C for a chapter 7. This is a fundamental issue in bankruptcy law. With this amount of money at stake you should consult with a bankruptcy attorney. Other bankruptcy chapters may require different treatment. Good Luck.

The answer is usually yes. It does depend on all of your circumstances and history. Most clients are best served by keeping all payment current and up to date after the filing.
