EXPLANATION OF BANKRUPTCY DISCHARGE
IN A CHAPTER 7 CASE
This court order grants a discharge to the person named as the debtor.
It is not a dismissal of the case and it
does not determine how much money, if any, the trustee will pay to creditors.
Collection of Discharged Debts Prohibited
_____________________________________
The discharge prohibits any attempt to collect from the debtor a debt that has been discharged. For example, a
creditor is not permitted to contact a debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise, to file or continue a lawsuit, to attach wages or
other property, or to take any other action to collect a discharged debt from the debtor. [In a case involving community
property:] [There are also special rules that protect certain community property owned by the debtor’s spouse, even if
that spouse did not file a bankruptcy case.] A creditor who violates this order can be required to pay damages and
attorney’s fees to the debtor.
However, a creditor may have the right to enforce a valid lien, such as a mortgage or security interest, against the
debtor’s property after the bankruptcy, if that lien was not avoided or eliminated in the bankruptcy case. Also, a debtor
may voluntarily pay any debt that has been discharged.
Debts That are Discharged
________________________
The chapter 7 discharge order eliminates a debtor’s legal obligation to pay a debt that is discharged. Most, but
not all, types of debts are discharged if the debt existed on the date the bankruptcy case was filed whether the debt was
included in the schedules or omitted from them. (If this case was begun under a different chapter of the Bankruptcy Code
and converted to chapter 7, the discharge applies to debts owed when the bankruptcy case was converted.)
Debts That are Not Discharged
____________________________
Some of the common types of debts which are not
___
discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy case are.
a. Debts for most taxes;
b. Debts that are in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support;
c. Debts for most student loans;
d. Debts for most fines, penalties, forfeitures, or criminal restitution obligations;
e. Debts for personal injuries or death caused by the debtor’s operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated;
f. Some debts which were not properly listed by the debtor;
g. Debts that the bankruptcy court specifically has decided or will decide in this bankruptcy case are not
discharged;
h. Debts for which the debtor has given up the discharge protections by signing a reaffirmation agreement in
compliance with the Bankruptcy Code requirements for reaffirmation of debts.
This information is only a general summary of the bankruptcy discharge. There are exceptions to these general
rules. Any party may request reopening of a bankruptcy case to determine whether a particular debt was included within
the scope of the discharge. In re Beezley, 994 F. 2d 1433 (9
thCir. 1993). Because the law is complicated, you may want
to consult an attorney to determine the exact effect of the discharge in this case.

EXPLANATION OF BANKRUPTCY DISCHARGE
IN A CHAPTER 7 CASE
This court order grants a discharge to the person named as the debtor. It is not a dismissal of the case and it
does not determine how much money, if any, the trustee will pay to creditors.
Collection of Discharged Debts Prohibited
The discharge prohibits any attempt to collect from the debtor a debt that has been discharged. For example, a
creditor is not permitted to contact a debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise, to file or continue a lawsuit, to attach wages
or other property, or to take any other action to collect a discharged debt from the debtor. [In a case involving
community property: There are also special rules that protect certain community property owned by the debtor's
spouse, even if that spouse did not file a bankruptcy case.] A creditor who violates this order can be required to pay
damages and attorney's fees to the debtor.
However, a creditor may have the right to enforce a valid lien, such as a mortgage or security interest, against
the debtor's property after the bankruptcy, if that lien was not avoided or eliminated in the bankruptcy case. Also, a
debtor may voluntarily pay any debt that has been discharged.
Debts That are Discharged
The chapter 7 discharge order eliminates a debtor's legal obligation to pay a debt that is discharged. Most, but
not all, types of debts are discharged if the debt existed on the date the bankruptcy case was filed. (If this case was
begun under a different chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and converted to chapter 7, the discharge applies to debts
owed when the bankruptcy case was converted.)
Debts That are Not Discharged.
