QUESTION
I need help determining my bankruptcy status.

More details to this question:
I have completed my Chapter 13 bankruptcy payments. Looking at my case online it has a status of COMPLETED-PENDING FRA. What does this mean exactly? I signed the discharge papers at my attorney s office a few weeks ago and they said it d be about 6 weeks before it s officially discharged. I know it takes awhile, but is this the normal process? Ive completed all my payments as scheduled and it also shows as closed but just curious.

The "Pending FRA" means that your trustee is still preparing the "Final Report and Accounting" to submit to the Bankruptcy Court.
The Chapter 13 Trustee files this report after completion of administration of the estate, either after completion of plan payments by the debtor, after the debtor receives a hardship discharge, or after the case has been dismissed or converted.
Once complete and submitted, you should receive your discharge soon thereafter, assuming that you qualify for a discharge under Chapter 13. If you took the educational course, and signed and filed your Certification and Motion for Discharge, you should be in good shape and you should receive your discharge soon.
