Reaffirmation Agreement, New York

Updated: March 2, 2024

Contributors:

It is not mandatory for the Debtor to reaffirm their debt even if their statement indicates their intent to retain the property. For real property Debtor can continue making payments but not reaffirm the debt. Under 11 USC §362(h), Debtor’s failure to reaffirm, redeem and/or surrender personal property if that was her/his stated intention results in the stay being lifted as to the property and the debtor.

The federal reaffirmation agreement form is utilized to reaffirm debt. There are no additional local forms.

The servicer is permitted to charge the debtor for a reaffirmation agreement if there is equity in the property under 11 USC 506(b) and if the underlying contract allows for fees.
