Expert: - 5/6/2009


Question
Can a creditor who was listed in my bankruptcy, which has been discharged, file
a civil complaint to attempt to get his monies?

Brian

Answer
If the debt was dischargeable and they received notice and did not object, then they are prohibited from doing so. You should show up with your bankruptcy petition showing the debt, and the discharge notice.  Your case should be dismissed if the debt is dischargeable.
