My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Georgia

I loaned an acquaintance money last fall. In January he filed for bankruptcy and correctly listed my loan as unsecured, low security. This loan will be discharged.

I understand from that he can reaffirm the loan, but it is not a simple process and involves his lawyer and the bankrupty court. As an alternative, can't he simply sign a new promissary note?

Thanks in advance.
