The debtor moved again to reopen her case in order to enter into a reaffirmation agreement with her mortgage company, two years after the closing of her bankruptcy case. The court noted from its previous order denying a motion to reopen for this purpose that no purpose would be served in reopening the case to allow the debtor to enter into a reaffirmation agreement because under 11 U.S.C. § 524 a reaffirmation agreement to be legally effective must be entered into before a discharge is granted. The court again denied her request to reopen.
