Many chapter 7 bankruptcy clients patiently wait after the 341a meeting of creditors for their discharge paperwork to come in the mail. Normally, it takes about 60 days after the 341a meeting of creditors to receive the discharge letter but more recently due to the influx of bankruptcy filings it could take longer. For our Chapter 13 bankruptcy clients, the discharge is granted after 3 to 5 years depending on the length of the client’s Chapter 13 plan.
The discharge letter removes your legal obligations from the debt you listed in your bankruptcy. You are no longer legally obligated to pay the debt. This is the end of the bankruptcy process. Your fresh start can begin after receiving the discharge letter from the bankruptcy court. Many clients are relieved that the burden and stress of headaches and debt is behind them.
If you have just filed for bankruptcy your goal is to get the bankruptcy discharge.
