The B240A/B ALT form is used to create a reaffirmation agreement in bankruptcy cases, allowing debtors to reaffirm certain debts.
Debtors must indicate whether there is a presumption of undue hardship when reaffirming a debt, which affects court approval.
The form requires detailed disclosures about the amount of debt being reaffirmed, including any fees and costs accrued.
If represented by an attorney, they must certify that the agreement is voluntary and does not impose undue hardship on the debtor.
Debtors have the right to rescind their reaffirmation agreement at any time before discharge or within 60 days after filing.
If a debtor is not represented by an attorney, court approval is required for the reaffirmation agreement to be effective.
Reaffirmed debts remain personal legal obligations; failure to pay can lead to creditors taking property or wages.
