Is it legal to obtain a loan and then declare bankruptcy soon after?

It depends on the situation. If you take out a car loan with the intention of continuing payments and keeping the vehicle, its not a problem. Just keep making the payments after the bankruptcy or in some cases reaffirm and formally agree to repay the debt. But, if you borrow money with the intention of not paying it, that is fraud. Fraudulently incurred debts are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. In other words, you can't eliminate them.
