Don't understand timeline

Hi all! We filed on 7-18, 341 meeting was on 9-4 and the last time anything was posted to pacer was 10-18. Just normal stuff on pacer - no creditor objections and its a no asset case. Any idea why it is STILL saying "waiting for discharge"? Should I be concerned?

Thanks.

Yes, it would say that until you are discharged. Not all Districts do the "auto-discharge" on the 61st day. If you are getting concerned, you could always call the Clerk's office and speak with your Case Manager. You can ask the Case Manager if there is anything preventing the discharge. Based on posts throughout the years on this BKForum, many debtors have had the Case Manager issue the discharge right over the phone -- if everything is okay.

Good luck!

Discharged will be 60 days after 341 meeting. My case was also chapter 7 no asset and my discharge order and final decree (case closed) was on 62nd day after my 341 meeting.

Discharge will not occur on day 60, the bar date for creditors to file objections for the discharge of their particular debt. Nothing will happen before day 61.

Nothing will happen before day 61.

And in many courts it takes a bit longer than that.

Indeed! And it may be more than just a backlog of cases.

In our own case, when two and one-half months past the date we were expecting to be discharged, 'Hub called the clerk of the BK Court to ask if anything was wrong. And there was. Our file lacked a copy of our Marriage License. The trustee had asked us to bring a copy of it to our 341. When we tried to give it to him, he said he didn't need it. Well, the file did, because the lack of it was the hold-up of our discharge. Once it was scanned and emailed to our caseworker, we were discharged that very day!
