WHAT IS A REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT?
Even if a debt can be discharged, you may have special reasons why you want to promise to pay it. For example, you may want to work out a plan with the bank to keep your car. To promise to pay that debt, you must sign and file a reaffirmation agreement with the Court.

Reaffirmation agreements are under special rules and are voluntary. They are not required by bankruptcy law or by any other law. Reaffirmation agreements:

• Must be voluntary;
• Must not place too heavy a burden on you or your family;
• Must be in your best interest; and can be canceled anytime before the Court issues your discharge or within 60 days after the agreement is filed with the Court, whichever gives you the most time.
• If you are an individual and you are not represented by an attorney, the Court must hold a hearing to decide whether to approve the reaffirmation agreement.
• The agreement will not be legally binding until the Court approves it.
• If you reaffirm a debt and then fail to pay it, you owe the debt the same as though there was no bankruptcy.
• The debt will not be discharged and the creditor can take action to recover any property on which it has a lien or mortgage.
• The creditor can also take legal action to recover a judgment against you.
