Chapter 35

Form 35-9

This form is Official Bankruptcy Form 2400A, a reaffirmation agreement. This agreement is enforce­able only if the debtor received the disclosures described in 11 U.S.C. § 524(k) at or before the time the debtor signs the agreement. See 11 U.S.C. § 524(c), (2), (4), (5). The practitioner should consult the local rules for the court in which he will appear to adapt the form. If the debtor is represented by coun­sel, the debtor’s attorney must sign the certification in part C of the form. See 11 U.S.C. § 524(c)(3). If the debtor isn’t represented by counsel, the court will set a hearing to consider the reaffirmation agree­ment. See section 35.36 in this chapter regarding reaffirmation agreements.

Warning:      The local rules of the Bankruptcy Courts for the four districts in Texas have specific requirements for the content of the captions of pleadings and orders, and they are all different. The practitioner should consult the local rules of the bankruptcy court for the district in which he intends to file for the specific requirements as to the content of captions. See section 35.1:2.
