What is certificate of an ongoing debt In relation to Bankruptcy petition.?

This is not a term used in US bankruptcy courts. In a Chapter 7, when a secured debt is to continue as a debt, the debtor must file a Statement of Intention with regard to secured debt and may also have to sign a Reaffirmation Agreement which the lender files with the court. Many court require a hearing to determine if the reaffirmation will defeat the purpose of the bankruptcy.

Can you reaffirm unsecured debts when filing a chapter 13?

No. Reaffirmation of debt is an option only in Chapter 7. Your unsecured creditors are paid according to your plan in chapter 13. Five requirements exist under the Bankruptcy Code in order to determine whether a reaffirmation agreement is valid: 1. The reaffirmation agreement must be entered into prior to discharge and it must then be filed with the court; 2. The agreement has to state that the debtor has the right to rescind the agreement either within 60 days after it�s filed or prior to discharge (whichever comes later); 3. If the debtor is represented by an attorney, the attorney has to sign and provide an affidavit verifying that the agreement is voluntary and does not impose an undue hardship on the debtor; 4. The debtor did not rescind the agreement within the required time; 5. That the agreement complies with the requirements of �524(c); and 6. If the debtor is not represented by counsel then the court will approve the reaffirmation agreement if no undue hardship is imposed and the reaffirmation is in the best interest of the unless it�s a consumer debt that�s secured by real property. Reaffirmation agreements are usually signed when the debtor wants to keep property that is security for a loan such as a house or car. It would be very unlikely for a court to approve the reaffirmation of an unsecured debt. However, there is nothing to prevent you from voluntarily paying the debt despite the discharge of the debt.


Can a creditor add attorneys fees to an existing loan if it has been reaffirmed during bankruptcy?

Usually the debt is reaffirmed under the same terms and conditions as originally agreed. Most of those allow attorney's fees to be added, along with costs. If the original agreement did not allow those expenses, they are not allowed in the reaffirmation unless the reaffirmation agreement allows them. Did you not read your reaffirmation agreement before you signed it? Do you even have the original agreement?
