Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York
before bankruptcy discharge
What happens if a creditor learns of the bankruptcy before it is discharged? I don't own a house or car so there isn't anything of value they can take. What happens if they contest the bankruptcy?

Re: before bankruptcy discharge
The creditor is informed of the Bankruptcy by the court. Any creditor not listed with a reasonable address in your bankruptcy petition is not bound or included in the bankruptcy discharge. They can still collect the money.
