Question: I filed bankruptcy 8 months ago was everthing ok till now and my trustee told me I have to go court soon . What s waiting for me now in the court?
Answer: In most cases in a first bankruptcy you are eligible to be automatically discharged after nine months. If you were bankrupt before, or if you have not completed all of your duties, or if any of your creditors have objected to your discharge, you are required to attend a discharge hearing in bankruptcy court.
At the hearing the Bankruptcy Registrar will review your case, and determine what further duties you will be required to perform to get your discharge (such as making additional payments).
For more information, you should consult your trustee and ask them to explain in detail what will happen at court, what questions you will be asked, and what you need to do to prepare.
