My husband and I just filed for bankruptcy not too long ago and are planning on getting a cell phone plan. Does anyone know how much the bankruptcy will affect our deposit for phone service (credit check deposit)

Could be anywhere from 150.00 to 300.00 deposit…You can go online to the provider and pick plans and do a check that way…it should be able to tell you how much you’ll need to get the plan. Been there.

If you have a bankruptcy on your record you will most likely get hit with the highest “security” measures they can apply. This could be in the form of having to pay a deposit, or having your account spend limited to a certain amount per month until they trust you.
