I hear this sometimes from my clients who have loans with payday lenders or other smaller mom-n-pop type loan shops. When my clients got their loans from these creditors, the clerk had them sign a document that says they promise not to file bankruptcy or include this particular loan in their bankruptcy.
It is NOT enforceable. It's a scare tactic only. Bankruptcy is extremely powerful. It trumps all promises or contracts you may have previously made and gives you a clean break from those debts. Don't let the fact that you might have signed a document like this prevent you from filing bankruptcy.
