You can file under those circumstances. The problem is that the creditor can bring a motion objecting to the discharge of this particular debt based on fraud. Basically the motion would say that you didn't intend to make the payment and that the debt should not be discharged. Whether such a motion is brought probably depends on how much the debt in question is. Once a motion is brought, it is up to the judge to decide whether he thinks you committed fraud. If he agrees with the creditor, then he will grant the motion and the debt in question survives any subsequent discharge you may receive. The creditor has a deadline of when they can file such a motion (this date is listed on your bankruptcy notice). If a motion, is filed after this date (typically about three months after your filing) it is no good and the debt would be discharged. It is possible to negotiate with a creditor who brings such a motion to basically pay back the a percentage of the debt over some period of time. If the bankruptcy trustee thinks you committed bankruptcy fraud then he will bring a motion to dismiss your whole case for bankruptcy fraud.
