You can apply, but you probably won't get it. Student loans don't have a time limit. That is, it's for life. Discharge in bankrupcy court just means that you don't have to pay it back. That doesn't mean that they will give you a new one.

Is it legal for a creditor to make inquiries even after the account has been discharged from bankruptcy for over a year?
If you are referring to a credit report the answer is NO. If the query is in reference to a creditor attempting to collect a debt that was included in the bankruptcy, the answer is also NO!2If the creditor is listed in the bankruptcy, No. If they continue to pursue it you can contact your attorney request a copy of the matrix filed in your bankruptcy, and either advise them of the page number the creditor is listed on and that it was discharged. Or, you can file a complaint with the federal court in your area and have it investigated.
How do you remove liens on property that was transferred for no consideration before the judgment was executed when the debts were included in bankruptcy?
The person wishing to take the action needs to be certain that the debts were actually discharged in the bankruptcy before he or she can take any steps to have the liens lifted. The other issue would be if the property was legally transferred according to the federal or state bankruptcy laws or if it is being challenged as a fraudulent conveyance. If the BK has not been discharged and in most cases closed as well then the liens may still be valid. The best option is to consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable in federal and state bankruptcy matters.
