car repair revisited

[3131tj]

A week or so ago I posted about my car needing lots of repair and did not knwo how I would pay for it. Well, last Thursday I rolled out from the dealer to the tune of nearly $1000. They are allowing me to make payments because they know me and have always been a good customer (I'll say!). My question is this...I may have a secured a personal loan from someone to help me out for $2000 (to help out with some other bills, too). If I suddenly put it in the bank how will that look when I file? Will I need to explain where it came from and where it went? This friend does not know about my BK so I can't see asking him for cash and I will be paying interest over a period of repay time. If I have to say where it came from will I then have to list it as a debt?

I am sure I am making this more difficult than it is (I hope!) but I am just trying to cover all my bases. thanks!

I'm not sure, but using money from any source and paying it to the repairman may count as a payment over $600 to one creditor and cause an issue.

As far as the rest of the money from your friend, if it goes to smaller bills (less than $600 each or living expenses) it probably wouldn't be an issue-just keep receipts.
