Discharge, How Do I Find Out Which Debts Were Included?

The discharge order sent by the Clerk's Office will contain a general statement about the categories of debts that are discharged. The individual debts that are discharged will not be listed on the discharge order. Instead, the discharge order will provide that debts are discharged UNLESS there has been a separate order denying a discharge of a specific debt. If there are no such orders, the debtor can assume that it received a discharge of all debts which fall into the categories indicated in the discharge order. See Bankruptcy Code Sections 523, 727(b), 1141 and 1328(a) and consult a bankruptcy attorney for more information on categories of debts that qualify for a discharge in chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy cases.
