Dear Bankruptcy Adviser, My grandmother filed for and was granted bankruptcy after her children helped her run up credit card debt of $18,000. Since she was granted bankruptcy, she has gotten three more credit cards. She is illiterate and unable to read, so I know that one of her kids is helping her fill out the papers; they are also helping her run up the bill.

Can my grandmother go to jail for committing credit card fraud after filing bankruptcy? My grandmother is a simple-minded person on a fixed income. She feels that she is helping her kids and it is not against the law; otherwise the credit card companies wouldn’t give her a card. What should we do?

LOL much?
