Hogan's bankruptcy was discharged
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, October 22 2012 @ 12:50 AM EDT
"As far as I know, one can't just declare bankruptcy, on has to be formally 'discharged' of one's debts, by a Court. N'est-ce pas?"

That's what happened in Hogan's case. The records have been included in several filings. In this one, the order discharging the case is on page 116. Notice how that is nothing but boilerplate, except for the date. The report on the creditor's meeting is essentially blank (page 122) and the Trustee's report (page 123) simply said that the Hogans had nothing for any creditors to go after (the only property they owned was exempt). It looks like it was no more than a simple bankruptcy and the creditors probably didn't even bother showing up at the creditor's meeting. (There would have been nothing to gain by attending since they weren't going to get anything, anyway.) PJ's been through the records before and she would have noticed if there were anything more than that.

Having said all that, thanks for bringing up the adversarial bankruptcy proceedings. They don't seem to have applied to Hogan's situation, though.
