Debtors Certificate Of Compliance Under 11 USC 1328(a) And Application {F 3015-1.8.DISCHARGE.APPLICATION}

F 3015-1.8.DISCHARGE.APPLICATION, DEBTOR’S CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE UNDER 11 U.S.C. § 1328(a) AND APPLICATION FOR ENTRY OF DISCHARGE, (In a joint bankruptcy case, each co-debtor must file a separate Certificate of Compliance and Application for Entry of Discharge). LBR 3015-1(t) provides the procedure for a chapter 13 debtor to apply for entry of a discharge. After the chapter 13 trustee files a notice that all plan payments have been made, the next step is for the debtor to file an application to receive a discharge. On the application, the debtor must indicate that the debtor timely completed a course in personal financial management. If the debtor does not timely file an application for discharge, the chapter 13 case will be closed without entry of discharge. In that situation, the debtor must file a motion to reopen the case. This requires a filing fee. 11 U.S.C. § 1328(a) - (a) Subject to subsection (d), as soon as practicable after completion by the debtor of all payments under the plan, and in the case of a debtor who is required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay a domestic support obligation, after such debtor certifies that all amounts payable under such order or such statute that are due on or before the date of the certification (including amounts due before the petition was filed, but only to the extent provided for by the plan) have been paid, unless the court approves a written waiver of discharge executed by the debtor after the order for relief under this chapter, the court shall grant the debtor a discharge of all debts provided for by the plan or disallowed under section 502 of this title, except any debt— (1) provided for under section 1322(b)(5); (2) of the kind specified in section 507(a)(8)(C) or in paragraph (1)(B), (1)(C), (2), (3), (4), (5), (8), or (9) of section 523(a); (3) for restitution, or a criminal fine, included in a sentence on the debtor’s conviction of a crime; or (4) for restitution, or damages, awarded in a civil action against the debtor as a result of willful or malicious injury by the debtor that caused personal injury to an individual or the death of an individual. www.FormsWorkflow.com
