The answer is a qualified maybe. If the Trustee at the Section 341 Hearing/Meeting of Creditors believes that the computer was purchased in an attempt to defraud a creditor, the Trustee may require you to pay back those monies which you owe to the Creditor. Alternatively, if you can convince the Trustee that the computer was sold as a necessity to meet normal living expenses, you may be home free.

I strongly suggest that you consult with a bankruptcy attorney in your area to review this and all other legal questions regarding this matter.
