Some of my clients have recently asked me if they can include their 401k loans into the bankruptcy. Typically clients dip into their 401k as a last resort, in an attempt to pay off debts they owe, but they fail to realize the consequences of doing so. Unfortunately the filing of a bankruptcy, whether chapter 7 or chapter 13, in Florida will have no affect on your 401k loan and you will still be required to pay for them.
