A: In the citation to discover assets proceeding, the creditor will indeed inquire about your financial situation, which may encompass your credit card accounts and the balances you owe. While there are no explicit rules prohibiting the use of other credit cards, it may potentially cast you in an unfavorable light during the court proceedings, as it might indicate a capacity to make payments towards the judgment. It is vital to consult with an Illinois attorney to understand your rights and the best course of action in your specific circumstances; they can guide you on how to navigate the citation to discover assets proceeding and potentially help you negotiate a settlement or payment plan that works with your financial situation.
