"Case dismissed" means the same as any other time you hear it. Dismissed means that the case has no merit or means to go forward and that charges (in this case, the charge of bankruptcy) can not be proven or declared. The bankruptcy was not granted.

∙ 18y agoGenerally speaking, "dismissed" means the case was thrown out for some reason, and the debts were never wiped out (so the creditors can still pursue the debtor for payment). This should not be confused with "discharged," which means the case was successfully completed and the debts which were duly listed and are of the sort which are dischargeable were successfully wiped out. This could mean: * That the entire BK filing has been dismissed. * That a portion of the case was dismissed (such as a federal student loan). Sometimes a bankruptcy is dismissed because the court feels the filer has the ability to pay, has committed some type of fradulent conveyance, or has simply "filed wrong". Also something as simple as a wrong SS number will cause a dismissal.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy dismissed can they still garnish?
Only holders of undischarged debt can come after assets or income after a discharged bankruptcy. Some debts may not be dischargeable in a bankruptcy, such as tax debt. The meaning of dismissed is different from discharged, however. A dismissed bankruptcy would be one that did not conclude. In that case, creditors may attempt any legal means to recover what is owed.
