Local Rule 4008-1: REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENTS
Bankr. C.D. Ill. — General rule
RULE 4008‐1 REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENTS
(A) General Requirements. Reaffirmation agreements must satisfy the requirements of §524(c), (d), and (k) and shall be filed in a form substantially similar to Director's Procedural Form 2400A (Form B 2400A) or Director's Procedural Form 2400A/B ALT (Form B 2400A/B ALT). Every reaffirmation agreement must also be accompanied by a cover sheet completed on Official Form 427.
(B) Hearing Required. A hearing and court approval shall be required in cases where an attorney of record has signed the attorney certification but a presumption of undue hardship exists and in all cases where the debtor is not represented by counsel.
(C) Leases. The assumption of a lease of personal property in a Chapter 7 case by a debtor is governed by §365(p)(2) rather than the provisions of §524(c). Regardless of the form used for such assumptions, the process is not subject to court approval and the filing of a reaffirmation agreement related to a lease of personal property will not be set for hearing.
