The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that a consumer who had used a pre-approved credit card issued by AT&T Universal Card Services could receive Chapter 7 bankruptcy relief. AT&T argued that the consumer misrepresented her ability to pay her debt. The court ruled that the consumer could not have misrepresented her creditworthiness because she had made no representations; she merely accepted AT&T's pre-approved offer.
