After Bankruptcy

When a Judgment Creditor Requests a Deposition, Documents, or Written Answers

If a creditor gets a judgment against you, it will then take steps to collect on that judgment. The creditor can collect by garnishing your wages, or selling some of your assets or property. Before the judgment creditor does this, it must first find out whether you are employed, how much money you make, and what assets you own.

When Is My Bankruptcy Case Over?

Your case is not officially over until the court closes it by entering a final decree or order.

If you make an error, the court can close your case by dismissing it without issuing a discharge order.
