Yes, one can list last minute one's bankruptcy, but if the lender fights the bankruptcy discharge, you would probably lose and still have to pay the loans back. Loans taken out on the eve of bankruptcy are usually no dischargeable. Creditors can even fight discharge on older loans if you display conduct indicating intent to defraud, such as not making any payments, or if you lied about your income, etc., in order to obtain the loan. However, if you take a loan on the eve of bankruptcy with intent to pay it back and actually do pay it back, you may not have a problem since no harm will have been done to the creditor.
