The debtors filed a motion to reopen their case in order to enter into a reaffirmation agreement with their mortgage company. Their case had already been closed with a discharge. The court concluded that no purpose would be served in reopening the case to allow the debtors 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.
