Reaffirming a debt informs the lender that you intend to continue to pay the loan. Generally, the lender will continue to report the loan and all payments made on that loan to the credit reporting agencies, which may help improve your credit score after bankruptcy, provided timely payments are made on the loan.
What is the reaffirmation process?
Agreeing to repay the excess loan amount in accordance with the terms of the promissory note is called reaffirmation. You can reaffirm an excess loan amount by signing a reaffirmation agreement with your loan servicer.
Is reaffirmation always a good idea?
In most cases, reaffirmation agreements are not only unnecessary but are a bad idea. There are some exceptions, most credit unions and Ford Motor Credit require reaffs, but most other car finance companies will allow you to keep your car without reaffirming as long as the payment is made in full and on time.
What are the requirements for a reaffirmation agreement?
A reaffirmation agreement must be filed within 60 days after the first date set for the 341(a) meeting of creditors. The agreement must have a cover sheet prepared as prescribed by Form 427. At any time, the court may extend the time to file an agreement. (b) Supporting Statement .
What is the purpose of reaffirmation?
Reaffirming a debt can jump-start your credit after bankruptcy and let you retain ownership of important assets like a house or car. However, if youre looking for a clean slate, there is no legal obligation to reaffirm your debt.
