Re: Loan date vs. bankruptcy filing date

All loans must be included in your bankruptcy petition regardless of when they were incurred. Furthermore you cannot incur any further debt after the filing of the petition. There are no significant consequences to having taken out a loan only a month before filing.

Sincerely,
