6 months before discharge? Since when???

[cj0203]

I thought that once the 60 day wait was up, the discharge went through? My lawyer says it takes 6 months from the date of filing before it gets discharged.

Anyone else have this be the case? We filed Ch 7 if that makes a difference.

The 60 days is from the first meeting of creditors, known as the 341 Hearing, which I see (by your siggy), your 341 was on 08/03/08........so.........you should be discharged if there were no reasons to extend this date. Do you have access to PACER?

Strange how you haven't been/received a discharge.

[cj0203]

Yes, I checked PACER and nothing so far.
I do have a reaff. pending on my house. could that be why it's delayed? The paralegal says BKs take 6m to disharge.... Weird

Clear cut Chapter 7 cases- no assetts , no objections from creditors, etc. should discharge a few days after the last day of objections, 60 days after your 341 hearing. Maybe someone is messing with your reaffirmation issue.
Paralegals usually don't know what they're talking about.

that's what I was thinking. Maybe the girl just didn't have a clue?

I'm not necessarily in a hurry, I just want it to be done. We've been dealing with filing since last December when we stopped paying our debts in anticipation of filing. it's been a long time!

We are an asset case, and had our 341 on Feb. 7, 2008. We didn't get Discharged until Aug. 13, 2008. Why the hold-up? First we were ruled an asset case in March. Our Discharge date should have been in April, but being ruled an asset pushed it back until June 12. Still no Discharge. When I called the BK Clerk of Court's office, we found that the hold-up was the fact that there wasn't a copy of our Marriage License in our paperwork. Mrs. and I use different names. We had a copy of it at our 341, and had an extra copy for the trustee, but he said he didn't need it so, that little detail held us up.

We will not close until sometime after April 1, 2009, after wi finish buying our stuff back.

We filed in April, 341 in June, kept calling (our court has a call in service free) and we are finally DISCHARGED!!!!! on Oct 19 but awaiting closing, yea, more waiting lol
Lawyer kept saying courts are swamped.
