United States First Circuit

In a Chapter 7 case, a creditor who is owed both secured and unsecured debts may insist upon reaffirmation of the latter as a condition to reaffirmation of the former; and here, credit union's passing references to foreclosure could not reasonably be construed as impermissibly coercive and in violation of the automatic stay.
