If you filed chapter 13 in 1998 and it was dismissed by the court are you still liable to the creditors?

"Dismissed" is different from "discharged". If you truly mean "dismissed" (i.e., without a discharge), it's as if you never filed; you still owe, assuming the statute of limitations hasn't run on the debt (that varies by state). That usually happens only if you didn't follow all the rules. If you actually meant "discharged" (as normally happens at the end of a successful bankruptcy case, including Chapter 13), you don't owe. Technically, the debt still exists, but the discharge permanently enjoins the creditors in your case from enforcing it, thus effectively eliminating it.
