ANSWERS TO YOUR BANKRUPTCY CONCERNS
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common bankruptcy discharge questions, including eligible debts, the discharge process, timing, and what a bankruptcy discharge means for your financial future.
When does a bankruptcy discharge get entered in my case?
In a Chapter 7 case, roughly 60 days after the meeting of creditors, once the objection window closes. In Chapter 13, the order comes at the end of the plan term, after the final payment clears the trustee.
What does a bankruptcy discharge actually do?
It releases you from personal liability on covered debts and permanently bars creditors from any attempt to collect them. Calls, letters, lawsuits, and wage garnishments all become unlawful. The debt still exists on paper but nobody can pursue you for it.
Which debts survive a bankruptcy discharge?
Domestic support, most student loans, recent income taxes, criminal fines and restitution, and debts from fraud or willful injury. John E. Pytte P.C. reviews every balance with Savannah, GA clients so the list is clear well before filing.
Do I have to take a financial management course to receive a discharge?
Yes. The second course, sometimes called debtor education, must be completed after filing and the certificate filed with the court. Skipping it is the most common reason a case closes with no order at all. It takes about an hour.
Can a creditor still contact me after my discharge?
No. The discharge injunction bars any collection attempt on covered debts, including calls, letters, and lawsuits. A creditor who continues can be ordered to stop and to pay damages and the cost of bringing the motion against them.
Can a bankruptcy discharge be revoked?
Rarely, and only within a year for concealed assets or fraud discovered after the fact. Full and accurate schedules make this a non-issue. John E. Pytte P.C. prepares filings for Savannah, GA and Hinesville, GA clients with exactly that in mind.
Does a discharge remove a lien from my property?
Not by itself. A discharge ends personal liability, but a mortgage, a tax lien, or a recorded judgment lien stays attached to the property. Some judgment liens can be stripped through a separate motion during the case, not after it.
How do I get a copy of my discharge order?
The court mails a copy after entry, and the record stays available indefinitely. Keep the original somewhere with your tax documents. Lenders routinely ask for it when you apply for a mortgage or refinance years down the road.
Months From Now, This Chapter Can Simply Be Over
There is a specific date, usually somewhere between 4 and 6 months from the day a petition is filed, when the credit card balances, the medical bills, and the old personal loans stop being yours. Not reduced. Not negotiated. Gone, by federal court order. Reaching that date cleanly depends on work done before filing: honest valuations, exemptions matched to your property, and a means test that holds. John E. Pytte P.C. has handled Chapter 7 filings for Savannah, GA and Hinesville, GA households for 30 years.
