The mere issuing of a bankruptcy order by the court does not yet mean that the debts have been discharged. In order for your debts to be discharged in bankruptcy proceedings, it is necessary to conduct bankruptcy proceedings, during which the exact amount of your debts as at the date of the bankruptcy declaration is established and your assets are sold. Then, depending on the mode of bankruptcy proceedings, slightly different steps are taken. The majority of bankruptcy proceedings are conducted according to the so-called simplified procedure, in which the trustee prepares a draft plan for repayment of creditors or a proposal for waiver of liabilities without setting up a repayment plan.
It reflects information about the amount of your liabilities, the degree of culpability in the creation of the debt, the manner in which the funds collected during the proceedings for the benefit of creditors are to be divided, and it is also determined to what extent your liabilities are to be written off. However, this is not a binding document for the Court, and you do not have to agree to the trustee's proposal. Importantly, the Court may write off your liabilities without establishing a repayment plan for creditors, or write them off only after you have completed a specific repayment plan.
