Yes, but not until your discharge. If you take money out of a 401K after you file and before discharge, the money is no longer exempt and could be taken by the Trustee. If you take it out after your discharge the money is yours.

Will the same bank used in bankruptcy issue a persoanal loan?

While you are a bankrupt you can not legally take out a personal loan. Further before issuing you with a loan (even after your bankruptcy has cleared) all banks will perform credit checks and they will probably refuse you credit (the loan) on the basis of your history.

No one can take your qualified pension. However if you took a loan against it, and you don't pay back the loan, the pension/401k is lost. Moreover, it is considered a withdrawal (if it is a 401k) and you get hit with early withdrawal penalty and the tax on the income too.


Can you take a loan on your 401k right before you file chapter 13?

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it!Your 401k is exempt from seizure under virtually all circumstances...including bankruptcy. (Example...OJ Simpson, owed a lot to the browns after the won the wrongful death suit....they could take his Heisman trophy, his cars, his future income from autograph signings, etc, etc....and did and continue to. As a judgement, he can't even escape it through BK. But, they can not touch his multi million dollar 401k.)if you take a loan against it, the money is no longer protected...it can and will be taken by creditors...given the opportunity....and you in serious financial problems now...so it's possible that would come about). Then your left with a loan to pay off, that uses up your 401k....and nothing else. Well, you'll have a big new tax bill and debt, because not paying back the loan of the 401k is the same as withdrawing it...so you pay a penalty and everything becomes income!Don't do it, Don't do it, Don't do it!
