Trustee’s Discharge

I filed bankruptcy in 1999 for one outstanding judgment. I did not pay the trustee fees in full and in 2004 the Trustee obtained a discharge. I contacted my only debtor and made a proposal to settle. They accepted and shortly thereafter, I have rec’d a notice of satisfaction that was filed with the court on the civil judgment file. My trustee advises me that I must still pay the outstanding monies to the trustee and get my discharge or hire a lawyer. If my only debt on my bankruptcy is satisfied, do I have to go through getting a discharge even thought the Trustee is discharged?

As noted in the previous post, only the Court can grant you a discharge. You could apply to the Court to have your bankruptcy annulled, and it may be necessary to hire a lawyer if your trustee cannot assist you.
