Can a payday loan contract state bankruptcy cannot be filed?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Bredow Law PLC
Your relative may file bankruptcy, they are not wasting their time. Under bankruptcy law, any agreement that prohibits bankruptcy is not enforceable. However, if the borrower goes to the payday loan office on Monday, borrows money and files bankruptcy Monday afternoon, the creditor may have grounds to ask the Bankruptcy Court for a determination that that debt is not discharged.

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Margaret L. Evans, PC
yes, if the payments haven't been made AND the automatic stay is no longer in effect which it wouldn't be once the case was closed * Question Detail: Already discharged bankruptcy first and 2nd mortgage. *- a mortgage is SECURED DEBT that appears on Schedule D .... secured debts are generally non-dischargeable; if you kept the property and continued to make payments on the 1st and 2nd mortgages, then you've basically reaffirmed that debt ......... however, if you decided to surrender the property and made that intent clear on the DEBTOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENTION, then you shouldn't be getting calls at all if the property was sold at short sale.

I have represented a lot of home owners and contractors, and this is not a provision that I believe would be found enforceable.
