Order of Discharge 12/15

IT IS ORDERED: A discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 727 is granted to:

Juan C Casola Elsa B Russo

October 23, 2019

By the court:

Robert A Mark

United States Bankruptcy Judge

Explanation of Bankruptcy Discharge in a Chapter 7 Case

This order does not close or dismiss the case,

and it does not determine how much money, if

any, the trustee will pay creditors.

This order does not prevent debtors from paying

any debt voluntarily or from paying reaffirmed

debts according to the reaffirmation agreement.

11 U.S.C. § 524(c), (f).

Creditors cannot collect discharged debts

This order means that no one may make any

attempt to collect a discharged debt from the

debtors personally. For example, creditors

cannot sue, garnish wages, assert a deficiency,

or otherwise try to collect from the debtors

personally on discharged debts. Creditors cannot

contact the debtors by mail, phone, or otherwise

in any attempt to collect the debt personally.

Creditors who violate this order can be required

to pay debtors damages and attorney's fees.

However, a creditor with a lien may enforce a

claim against the debtors' property subject to that

lien unless the lien was avoided or eliminated.

For example, a creditor may have the right to

foreclose a home mortgage or repossess an

automobile.

Most debts are discharged

Most debts are covered by the discharge, but not

all. Generally, a discharge removes the debtors'

personal liability for debts owed before the

debtors' bankruptcy case was filed.

Also, if this case began under a different chapter

of the Bankruptcy Code and was later converted

to chapter 7, debts owed before the conversion

are discharged.

In a case involving community property: Special

rules protect certain community property owned

by the debtor's spouse, even if that spouse did

not file a bankruptcy case.

Some debts are not discharged

Examples of debts that are not discharged are:

debts that are domestic support

obligations;

♦ 

♦ debts for most student loans;

♦ debts for most taxes;

debts that the bankruptcy court has

decided or will decide are not discharged

in this bankruptcy case;

♦ 

debts for most fines, penalties,

forfeitures, or criminal restitution

obligations;

♦ 

some debts which the debtors did not

properly list;

♦ 

debts for certain types of loans owed to

pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, or

retirement plans; and

♦ 

debts for death or personal injury caused

by operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

♦ 

Also, debts covered by a valid reaffirmation

agreement are not discharged.

In addition, this discharge does not stop

creditors from collecting from anyone else who is

also liable on the debt, such as an insurance

company or a person who cosigned or

guaranteed a loan.

This information is only a general summary

of the bankruptcy discharge; some

exceptions exist. Because the law is

complicated, you should consult an

attorney to determine the exact effect of the

discharge in this case.
