I recently filed for bankruptcy and received a full discharge of my debts. One of the debts I listed was a personal loan from an acquaintance. I promised her that I would pay her back despite the bankruptcy and that I only wanted to list what I owed her to help ensure my discharge. She and I are now in complete disagreement over the terms of repayment. Can she take legal action against me and, if so, what problems might this present?
Other than you promising her that you will pay her back, is there any proof of it?
If you said none, you could just pretend that you never promised her.
If there is proof, then you will have to work something out, pay her.
First don't pay her back, don't put anything in writing at all saying you are going to pay her back.Quote:

You do not owe her anything, per the bankruptcy, she should have been happy with any terms, since it is better than no terms. But don't do this, and do not put anything like this in writing.
I concur with chuck. Once you receive a discharge pursuant to chapter 7, you don't owe her a dime. Of course, a debtor can elect to pay back anyone they want at anytime(an arrangement that frequently takes place when someone wants to keep ONE credit card after a bankruptcy). You are under no obligation to repay her(other than moral obligation), and you should not put anything in writing.
