My case was discharged about 2 months ago but it has not closed yet. I was offered a very good paying job this afternoon and need to accept or decline by tomorrow. My question is would there be a possibility of trustee wanting to put me back into the plan to pay more to creditors if he found out I was making ALOT more money now than I was before. Or am I just being afraid of nothing? Once a case it discharged but not closed can a person do what they want??

I am a Ch7 person, so am not familiar with all of the ramifications of a Ch13, but if it were me, I would accept the position, and then let the chips fall where they may. My feeling is that in this economy, one can rarely afford to turn down a good-paying position.
Good luck to you and congratulation on the offer. Please keep us posted.

I would bet u have met the requirements of your bk and the trustee couldnt care less what your finances are now. I am no expert and nothing would surprise me though! Take the job!!Discharge date: October 2017 (will it ever get here?)

The Trustee could not do that. If your case is discharged, that means that you have completed your Plan of Reorganization (the "payback" part). The closing is administrative and just to ensure that all the accounting is accurate and all the checks paid are cleared.
