Some bcys go quickly through the system. Some take years. It depends on what chapter was filed, who the trustee is, if the creditors want to complain, and what assets, if any, the debtor owns.
Lawsuits, Fraud, Property Transfers all extend this period.
A common misconception is that once a bankruptcy is discharged, the case is over. This is not true. Some cases can go for years after a discharge was granted. Others are closed a month after the discharge.
nate - thanks - does that mean they should still be required to make monthly minimum payments on the SC case I won? why does the judge not make them - i have proven over and over again they buy new luxury items. i see no reason why their series of payments these past 5 yrs should have stopped merely since they "claimed" to have contracted an BK atty - yet the online records still show it is not filed.
