A reaffirmation agreement is an agreement that’s filed within the bankruptcy case, and it essentially asks the bankruptcy judge to make an exception for whatever the debt is. Oftentimes, reaffirmation agreements are applied to car loans. In some instances, they are applied to mortgage loans, and in other instances, they are applied to other secured debts, such as financed furniture. A reaffirmation agreement essentially discloses the terms of the loan and discloses how much money is in the bankruptcy filer’s budget. It also asks the court to allow the filer to keep the loan in light of what should be the available income. In some instances, a judge may decline a reaffirmation agreement if they feel that the terms are unreasonable or if the payment is unaffordable to the filer.
