Bankruptcy Firing

Discrimination

  • The law provides express prohibitions against discriminatory treatment of debtors by both governmental units and private employers. A governmental unit or private employer may not discriminate against a person solely because the person was a debtor, was insolvent before or during the case, or has not paid a debt that was discharged in the case.

    Discharge Changes

    Discharge Revoked

    The court may revoke a discharge under certain circumstances. For example, if the discharge was obtained fraudulently. Usually, a request to revoke the debtor's discharge must be filed within one year of the discharge or, in some cases, before the date that the case is closed.

     

     

    Bankruptcy Discharge in South Carolina

    Coastal Law can help you with a Consultation at 843-488-5000

    Bankruptcy discharge releases the debtor(the person filing bankruptcy) from personal liability for certain types of debts. The debtor will not be required to pay debts that are discharged. There would be a permanent order that would stop the creditors of the debtor from taking any form of collection action on discharged debts. This would also include legal action and communications with the debtor, such as telephone calls, letters, and personal contacts.

     

    Even though a debtor is not personally liable for discharged debts, a valid lien that has not been avoided in the bankruptcy case will remain after the bankruptcy case. Therefore, a secured creditor may enforce the lien to recover the property secured by the lien.
