What is a discharge injunction?

A discharge injunction is a legal order issued by a court in California that prohibits a creditor from collecting a debt from a debtor. This injunction is typically issued when a debtor has filed for bankruptcy, or when the debtor and creditor have reached an agreement to settle the debt outside of court. The injunction stops creditors from trying to collect the debt, either through legal action or through other methods such as collection calls. It also stops creditors from filing new lawsuits to collect the debt. The discharge injunction is important as it gives the debtor the freedom to pay off their debt without the pressure of creditors demanding payments. It also ensures the creditor cannot take any further legal action against the debtor after the debt has been paid.
