What country do you live in? In the USA, bankruptcy lawyers normally advise you to open a small account with a credit union or a bank before filing. Since you won't be discharging any debt to them you can normally keep the account thereafter. Sometimes it even works with credit cards; but at least you'll have a debit card.
Pre-bankruptcy planning is very important which is why do-it-yourself bankruptcy and cheap bankruptcy lawyer "mills" may be a bad idea.
If I'm wrong and you're in Canada or the UK, say, then you may have a harder time. (I assume you're not in any non-English-speaking country because except for Scandinavia (and since 1999 Germany) they don't have consumer bankruptcy provisions.) Still, a credit union or a small building society (what in the USA would be a savings & loan association) may well open an account for you.
If you append a note as to what state and country you live in I may be able to add something useful.

lots of banks know have accounts for people with very bad credit ratings, you can also open an account at the post office.
They are very basic and you can not have overdrafts, direct debits, cheque books.

Probably a very basic account with no debit card or overdraft facility. If you are in the UK HSBC have a very good basic account.

probably none. Definitely you wont be given any credit, like cards, overdrafts, loans ... well, if you write them a letter with that spelling of yours maybe someone will feel sorry and will give you a loan you to go back to school ...
Anyway, good luck to you
