Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania

Can I get debt discharged if a creditor met with me after I filed for bankruptcy? I set up a meeting with a creditor before filing bankruptcy. I ended up having to file, and the creditor knew this, but still attended the meeting (it was scheduled for the day after I ended up filing). He also brought other people from his company to the meeting. I didn't know the others would be attending the meeting, and only asked the one person to meet with me. They all absolutely knew I had filed for bankruptcy - it was discussed openly at the meeting. Can I get their debt discharged since they talked to me while under the protection of bankruptcy? I did request the meeting, but only with one of the people. The others were not asked nor invited by me.

You need to amend your schedules to include the creditor in the case. http://www.absolutebankruptcy.org/Chapter_7_Objections.htm
