BK discharge papers

[the_jan_b]

My fiance filed Chapter 7 this past September, and received (what we think is) his discharge papers today.  He only received a one-page letter from the BK court stating:

Discharge of Debtor

It appearing that the debor is entitled to a discharge.

IT IS ORDERED:

The debtor is granted a discharge under section 727 of title 11, United States Code, (the Bankruptcy Code)

...along with the date and the judge's signature.

My question is this: since neither of us have filed BK before, we were expecting his discharge papers to be a lot more than one page; is a one-page discharge "paper" normal?

Definitely normal. They already killed enough trees with the filing papers.

This is why it is extremely important to keep a copy of your petition with the schedule of creditors. You need that as proof to show 1) a specific account was IIB and 2) was discharged in case any future lenders ask for it or you start getting bogus collection attempts from less than reputable companies.
