You can negotiate and agree to sign a reaffirmation agreement-- however, keep in mind that you are not required to do so by law. Also know that if you do sign the reaffirmation agreement, that you may undo the progress that you made with the bankruptcy and you will not have the opportunity to file another bankruptcy for while-- should you get in a financial bind again. You should really consider reviewing this with your bankruptcy attorney before making a final decision. There may be better alternatives to a reaffirmation agreement.
