Can a Chapter 7 debtor make payments on a discharged debt without a reaffirmation agreement?
Yes. Even though a debt has been discharged, the debtor can still make voluntary payments of a debt. This often happens, for example, with debts that are owed to family members or friends. But the key to this kind of payment is that it must be entirely voluntary; the debtor has no legal obligation to pay a discharged debt, and the creditors can take no action to pressure or persuade the debtor into making payments.
