If your company is asking you to leave gas cards with your names on them out in the open, this could lead to security and liability issues. Leaving the cards in an unsecured location increases the risk of theft or misuse, which could potentially be traced back to you if the cards are in your name.... View More

Don’t tell any creditor anything. Once you file, the deduction(s) will be automatically terminated. You don’t need to do anything. Consult your bankruptcy lawyer for a more detailed explanation of the automatic stay and termination of automatic withdrawals.

I fail to see any benefit in telling your bank or lender that you are filing before you file. You would give them information that is probably not helpful to you. They are certainly not going to tell you how to not pay them or how to sue them. I would go to the bank and issue a stop payment.
