Chapter 7 Discharge Order

Once you have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and received court approval, you will then need a discharge order.

This is an important document that tells your creditors that you have successfully filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. It will list the debts that have been approved for discharge. If any of the creditors on that list attempt to collect on debts after the discharge order has been approved, those parties could be sanctioned by the court.

Depending on your particular bankruptcy case, the discharge order generally comes within 60 to 90 days after the meeting of creditors. Once you have received the document, you are almost finished with your Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The court will just need to finalize your bankruptcy and then you will be considered debt free in most cases.
