As a a Chicago bankruptcy attorney, my clients often ask when the discharge will come from the court in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy? When a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is filed a meeting of creditors is set by the court within approximately 30 days of the filing of the case. The discharge comes approximately, 60-90 days after the meeting of creditors. In practical terms, the discharge will be entered by the court about four months after the filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.
