Much has been posted in the forum on the topic of reaffirming debt ... but I'll try to help you
If you reaffirm a debt and then default post discharge, you are at the creditor's mercy as you will have zero protection of the bankruptcy laws. Let's saythat you miss a couple of payments and the creditor were to repossess the auto then sell it off at an auction for less than the balance owed, they will come after you for the difference ... and you have lost the auto on top of that.
Given that the #1 objective of filing a bankruptcy petition is to rid yourself of debt and creditors, can you see how deciding to reaffrim a debt contradicts that objective?
