The opposite has been true since at least 2008.

Credit card issuers actually target recent bk's since they have no debt. :)

They're also ignoring medical debt, since otherwise a large percent of their applicants would be rejected.

Also, since there is a waiting period between bankruptcy filings, the potential creditor knows that they have a specific window during which the debtor can't legally dodge the debt.
