Discharging Bankruptcy

 

Bankruptcy is one way of dealing with debts that cannot be paid. Discharging Bankruptcy is a situation where the debtor is freed from bankruptcy.

WHEN DISCHARGE HAPPENS?

 

The time of discharge of the consumer may vary based on the chapter under which the case is filed, for example in chapter 13 bankruptcy the time given to the debtor varies from 3 to 5 years , hence it will take approximately 4 years after the date of filing ,for the consumer to get discharged .whereas in chapter 7  bankruptcy, the discharge may be implemented immediately after the expiry of the time given for filing a complaint, this will mostly happen 4 months from the date the debtor signs the petition.

 

The debtor is liable to receive the discharge if there is no prosecution involving any hurdles to the discharge of the consumer.
