If I file for bankruptcy, will that protect me from further activity from the collection agency?

They can't renew the judgment if you file bankruptcy. That would be considered harassment and they could be found in contempt by the bankruptcy court.

Can I reaffirm the debt in a bankruptcy so that the loan can survive the discharge?

Charles J Schneider
Answered by attorney Charles J Schneider (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Charles J. Schneider, P.C.
I suppose you could sign a reaffirmation but why bother? There is no law against your paying a discharged debt after bankruptcy. The law only forbids their collection efforts to compel payment. It would not be wise to give them stock as collateral before filing bankruptcy as a Trustee would likely simply sue them to retake the collateral as a voidable preference.
