I am having a problem with a creditor even after my Chapter 7 case has been discharged 3 months ago. I go to a business school that if for profit in Pa. and I owed them a charged off debt from 2 years ago. They forced me to sign over my financial aide check to pay on it last winter. I had no choice I needed the other bit of money. I filed bankruptcy in April and my lawyer said that it was dischargeable since it was'nt a loan. The debt was listed and discharged in July as mentioned by the federal court. It's now Sept and I was found they are still charging me for the back balance that was discharged. They are with holding all my checks now saying they were not notified of it. The school filed a priority claim and were faxed papers by my lawyer to keep my loans coming. They won't give me a straight answer and always give me the run around. My lawyer said they have to release the money but won't do anything to help me. I am calling a family friend who is a good lawyer but would appreciate any pointers or ideas on this. I graduate in January but I want my money. I was told explicitly they have to let it go and drop it so now what.
