Best Answer

A discharge is normally the final step saying "All your debts are discharged" ie: no one can collect on those debts anymore.

It is what you were waiting for if you filed.

Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.

A discharge prohibits creditors whose debts were discharged from collecting them or trying to collect them. Any such attempt is a violation of the discharge order and the creditor can be held in contempt. This also applies to anyone who buys a discharged debt and tries to collect it.
