Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

They're still yours. Only debts that existed prior to the filing of the Petition for Relief will be discharged. Did you obtain court permission to borrow funds while in the bankruptcy? Your other option is to dismiss and refile as a chapter 7 - assume you qualify at this time for chapter 7 relief - to avoid those debts incurred post-filing.

So, it was brought to my attention that my answer to this question is in fact incorrect. I apologize to the poster who asked the question. Frankly, my response was a very quickly typed response, and I assumed (as is very often the case in consumer cases) the debt incurred post-petition was not authorized by the bankruptcy court, in which case the creditor may have grounds to object to inclusion in the discharge based on 11 U.S.C. �348(d). I should not have jumped to that conclusion, and just answered the question asked. Again, I apologize to the poster.
