Bankruptcy and Dell?

bankruptcy law

My mother in law bought a dell computer in Nov 2005 as a gift for my husband it was something like $1500. she paid $75 a month for 2 1/2 years. In July 2007 she decided she could no longer afford to pay all her bills so she started the bankruptcy process the bill in July 2007 was $1960 she had bought ink and a new printer during the 2 1/2 years that is the reason the amount went up. she finally went to court today She called me when she got home and said dell had sent her lawyer papers wanting her to pay $87 a month for 30 months to pay for the computer. Is this something she has to worry about?

    She should talk to whomever is organizing her bankruptcy as to whether or not she needs to worry.

    As far as I understand, if you declare bankruptcy, all creditors are no longer able to collect. There are some exceptions for student loans, etc. so it would be best to check anyways.
